STV: nielm combo STV (v1.8 Oct 19)

[kny3twalker]

your menu link at the bottom of the STV page
gives a 404 error

weather suite looks fine

I will give it a go this weekend

I'm probably missing something easy, but I can't get the RSS feeds to work.

I've added several Yahoo feeds, and the basic text is shown, but when the browser is launched, it just goes here:

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2
->>Document Not Found

Also, at first I was using Firefox as my default browser, but it'd "bonk" with an error message that it couldn't find the page as well. I switched back over to IE, but still no love...

any thoughts?

Thx-
RenHoek

wow, very nice. the customizable menus & diskspace is EXACTLY what i was looking for!

Nice one nielm!
Been checking it out all morning - it works great!

Now all I need is a web browser that works with my remote for all the new browser-based things.

Cheers dude

Which menu do you mean?

If you mean one of the submenus of the main menu, then the font size is determined by the property: ui/heading_font_size with a default of 28

If you mean the Sage Recoridngs screen (showing recorded files), there are 3 different ones (determined by the settings in detailed setup/enhancements/malores menus options)...

Malores' one uses the defined font size in that options menu (properties setting multimenu_fontsize, default 16).

Mlbdudes 2-pane one, and the default single pane one are the identical menus to the OriginalV2 skin, so you should also have this problem there. The font size is determined by the properties file setting ui/base_font_size with a default of 18.

Opera is very keyboard-friendly, and has the ability to zoom in (+) and out (+) on a page (which is why I use it!) and is fast to start-up

I have a girder GML that does some minor Opera commands (attached), pre-configured for an ATI RW.

One More Question: is the IMDB lookup just an additional screen or will it create and populate the info.my file for that movie? (THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!)

It launches a web browser (sorry!)...

For software that can generate info.my for movies and folder.jpg for both CDs and movies see Gotcha Covered Pro

My question is if theres an easy way to config this? If not then thats cool, I'll figure it out with alittle more work.

Edit the weatherconfig.xml

It is well commented, and there are hints in the installation instructions and wiki (see first post for links), but finding weather images sources is your own problem

If anyone has any more tips, please add them to the wiki.

There was a bug in the command line that meant it barfs with Yahoo's feeds that have a '&' in the URL.

Fixed STV -- new nielm_stv.zip uploaded (see first post for URL)

[nielm]

Updated to version 1.1

• STV fix only -- fixed URL in Yahoo news feeds
• changed web hosting from my dodgy belgian ISP to sage-community.org (thaks ErsatzTom)

As this is an STV fix only, you only need to download and unzip the STV zipfile

When watching a video from the Import Video Library, I click Watch Now and it does not show Full Screen. When I use MlbDude2's interface, clicking Watch Now it shows me in Full screen automatically. The only way that I found to show it in Full Screen in Nielm's STV is to click Watch Now and go to the Main Menu and click View TV and it brings it up in Full screen. Is there anyway to make it show Full Screen when I click Watch Now in the Video Library? Thanks,

[nielm]

Updated to version 1.2

• STV fix only
• Fixed 'Watch Now' for video file
• Added Favourite limit by Timeslot
• Added (UNTESTED) mlbdude2 beta automatic recompression

As this is an STV fix only, you only need to download and unzip the STV zipfile

For the auto recompression, I *think* I have everything from the MLBdude2 beta STV, but I may have missed something. As I don't do recompression myself, would those that do please ensure that it is working

WARNING: I am on holiday for 2 weeks tomorrow! Any bugs found after today will have to wait!

Well done, Nielm
I love the skin. I am having one issue. WHen I play a file from the imported Video Library (clicking Watch Now), it appears in the upper right hand corner and cannot be changed.

Oops!
Fixed in 1.2

[RenHoek]

Thanks for the speedy update, Neil! I figured it was an issue with Yahoo's links, 'cuz after I posted I tried other sites and they worked fine.

BTW - This skin's AWSOME! Thanks for all the fish!

(I stayed up WAAAAAYYYYYY too late last night playing with it....)



BTY, Trevorst:

I had that same problem. My font for that screen was set to 16. I bumped it up to 18 and now all's well.

Thanks. I've been going through the config file so I feel comfortable with that, its really an issue of finding the right images for each category.

Love the skin, I updated to the newest version you have posted but I can't find any options to enable mlbdude's compression. Usually, if you are on the info page of a recordings it is on the list on the left side of the screen. I see no options. Also, I couldn't find a way to enable, or disable it in the advanced section. Am I missing something?
thanks

woops, got it working. I somehow managed to paste the updated STV in the wrong location It works great now. The weather feature is awesome. The only thing I am having trouble getting used to is the main page. It seems somewhat cluttered with the vertical line running between the options and the preview window (which is a little small too). I quess I am just used to mlbdude's clean looking main page. All in all, this is the best feature set STV yet. Thanks a bunch and.....can' t wait till studio is available to all.
