Import/Export Channel Lineup not working

[RickE]

The Import/Export Channel Lineup (v1.2.1) is not working.

Perusal of the sagetvclient_0.txt file in the section logged by Fork-UNXHZ-88 finds this suspicious line:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner 1016A5A3-0-0-ATSC.export (The system cannot find the path specified)

It is of interest because it makes the apparent assumption that my Windows 7 was installed on C: when it is actually installed on E:; thus, the proper path should have been E:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner 1016A5A3-0-0-ATSC.export

There are subsequently a number of instances of:

EXCEPTION in getValueAsObject:sage.a.e: Error in method reflection of new_java_io_FileWriter of java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException for:new_java_io_PrintWriter(new_java_io_BufferedWriter(new_java_io_FileWriter(FileName)))

These may, of course, have no real bearing on the problem; so, attached is the complete log file.

Thanks and regards,
Rick

And that first error will give you a problem with a Sage install on 64bit Windows. It will be installed in a C:\Program Files (x86)\SageTV\SageTV.

Until this bug gets fixed, you can get it working under Win7-64 by creating a SageTV\SageTV directory structure under the C:\Program Files directory. Actually, in a way, it's kind of nice. The only files that end up in that directory are the import/export files.

Don't know if this would resolve the issue with your E: drive, I suspect not.

Opps, I should have mentioned that I'm using 32-bit Win-7, and that I tried creating the directory on the C: drive. It didn't help; no files were created in the directory.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks to the above comments, my brain was stimulated, and I did the following to cure my exporting channels problem:

1. I stopped the SageTV server.
2. I used my favorite editor on the file: E:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\SageTV7\ImportExportChannelLineup.stvi
   to replace all C:\\ with E:\\. There were 12 instances as I recall.
3. Restart the server.
4. Success.

I had looked at the .stvi before my original post, but didn't notice the C:\\ stuff - probably because the .stvi is so busy.

Thanks again for the help and regards,
Rick

3dOptics, thanks for fixing this bug. This is a very handy plugin.

One question though. What directory does it import/export the files to if you are using Win 7-64, and installed Sage in the C:\SageTV directory? Will it use the C:\SageTV\SageTV directory, or the C:\Program Files (x86)\SageTV\SageTV directory?

After a small amount of experimentation, it appears that the plug-in is smart enough to know that Sage is installed in the C:\SageTV directory, and imports/exports files to the C:\SageTV\SageTV directory. Kudos to 3dOptics!
