I can remove that line from the STV if you need me to stuckless...

btl.

yeah, Actually the ReloadConfiguration is basically "dev" api for reloading the Xml property configuration metadata... You can leave it in, if you want... I'll be issuing a new Phoenix update and and a new SageTV core update on the weekend. (both of which should fix the issue indendent of the other).

I think in a future release of Phoenix, I'm going to leverage the Java 7 file system apis to detect changes to configurations on a the fly and load them automatically, so hopefully we won't need things like ReloadConfiguation or RefreshViews ,etc.

That sounds promising. I noticed on my project sage doesn't restart on a fresh install of the API (it does on update). It just loads it into the classpath and without the restart phoenix doesn't pick up the vfs file I add. That being said working around it with refreshviews has been acceptable as well.

New Phoenix Core and P3 are in the repository. Hopefully most of the issues are gone now!

I would still love to take play around with this. But I still do not see a P3 in my plugin Full UI category of All Available Plugins view. What in the world could I be doing wrong?

Just did a bit of poking around in the logs I posted a few days back. I saw the following:

Tue 11/15 14:16:35.237 [PluginRepoUpdater@15f2515] Checking to see if the plugin repository file SageTVPluginsV9.xml needs to be updated using MD5 URL: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SageTV/sagetv-plugin-repo/master/SageTVPluginsV9.md5

However, that URL results in a 404 when I hit it with my browser. Looking at my SageTV installation folder, my SageTVPluginsV9.xml date stamp is from 9/6/16.

My SageTVPlugins.xml date stamp is from 10/23/16.

It seems to me that the V9 or both files are not getting updated appropriately. I can hit the SageTVPlugins.md5.txt just fine.

I'm also seeing the following in my logs. Seems like my install is pointed at an old URL for the V9 plugins md5 and xml files?

Well, I found out where the URLs are configured in Sage.properties and changed them to:

sagetv_repos/v9/md5=https\://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenSageTV/sagetv-plugin-repo/master/SageTVPluginsV9.md5
sagetv_repos/v9/url=https\://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenSageTV/sagetv-plugin-repo/master/SageTVPluginsV9.xml

Are these the right URLs going forward? It seems like they don't exist in the SageTV project, just in the OpenSageTV project.

[bialio]

This is where mine point:

sagetv_repos/v9/local=SageTVPluginsV9.xml
sagetv_repos/v9/md5=https\://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenSageTV/sagetv-plugin-repo/master/SageTVPluginsV9.md5
sagetv_repos/v9/url=https\://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenSageTV/sagetv-plugin-repo/master/SageTVPluginsV9.xml

Great. I'll reinstall and let you guys know.

I forgot to mention....after change the repos URLS to the current ones, I was able to install P3 finally!

Looking good! Thanks for the hard work.

Everything except automatic metadata seems to be working properly. Including comskip.

Great work. I don't think the metadata issue is related to P3. BMT is able to find the correct data so something funky is going on.

UPDATE: Well it looks like automatic metadata is working again as well. Thanks again guys.

I got to play with this some more over the weekend and found just an oddity that I haven't seen mentioned by anyone else (I think). I like to have my recordings sorted with the most recently recorded stuff at the top so I tried to do that but I found that it wouldn't really re-sort the recordings when I reversed it (the first option). I tried some of the other ones and they seemed to work ok, though. Also, I'm curious as to how exactly is sorting handled by the "recent activity" sort?

I'm also wondering, I seem to remember an option where pressing "up" would bring up a series of thumbnails of the video for easy skipping around, but couldn't find that. Is it missing from P3, or am I imagining it from another plugin? It looked similar to this (yes, I know the image is from the new gemstone):

[bialio]

I pulled the video thumbs from P3. It's on the list to go back in, but I was rewriting the video OSD and it got bumped to phase 2.

The default sort in the TV Shows view is :

1) Top level - grouped: by show, sorted: show with the most recent activity at the top.
2) 2nd level - sorted: original air date.

This isn't ideal, since you could have just recorded something that aired 2 years ago.

I'll look at fixing this in the next release. The one thing is there isn't a perfect scenario for this - once you reach a level in the browser that is just episodes, it's most natural to see them in some sort of chronological order relative to the show itself, not it's recorded on date.

[panteragstk]

Everything is working great. I do have a question about the comskip setting for blind comskip. This doesn't seem to do anything that I can tell.

What should I be seeing with this setting enabled?

[bialio]

Basically if you are watching a show and you get to a commercial, the first push on the 'right' arrow will skip the commercial (if blind is ON) - if blind os OFF then it brings up the time bar first and then you have to hit the right arrow again to skip the commercial.

For automatically skipped commercials I think it ignores the blind setting.

btl.

Ok. That makes sense. All mine are automatic so that's why. Thanks.

The dreaded "sourceforge" dependency. If I get time, this weekend, I'm going to move some dependencies from sourceforge, since it's becomming a PITA

I got the same error with commons io when I upgraded from Sage v7 to v9 this week. For me the solution was to upgrade Java from v1.7 to 1.8.

Yeah, since I had taken an image snapshot of my install drive of Sage server, I re-flashed the disk with the V7 install. Updated Java. Then installed V9 over V7

It all worked fine. Except that now, it is asking me for a licence number for the EPG, even thou I installed over a valid V7 install. Oh well :-)
