STV: Meekell Beta 0.3 Release (April 3, 2005)

[meekell]

I was playing with the settings and realized that the transparency problem that most of us are experiencing happens only when 3d acceleration is turned on.

Thank you very much! No problem for the request to sleep...

I love the new version. It's really looking good. Two things though, I like the 'don't like' visual confirmation in the upcoming recordings, could you extend that to the recordings screen?

Also, it's still a pain to have to go to through the menus to set don't like and watched, could you make it so the menus respond to those commands?

Thanks so much.

I got lazy...I definitely will.

This was a request you had earlier, wasn't it? I must of neglected it. Are you asking for the "Don't Like" and "Watched" commands mapped to the menus where appropriate? If that's the case, no problem!

yeah... sorry to ask twice. I need to drink less coffee.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I find it really convenient when trying to tame the 'intelligent recorder'. Especially when it records "Veronica Mars" marathons like it did the other day... it just won't stop recording it after I liked that documentary on the planet Mars.

There should be a way to tell Sage to never record a show title.

Great work on everything. IMHO, you've created the STV with the best navigation flow and WAF.

Meekell:

The STV is almost perfect. The end of the show prompt remains one of the few outstanding bugs that I notice. A pop-up asks "Return to Menu or Delete". Both choices land me back at the menu-delete does not remove the show.

Hi,

when i sort my records, go back to main menu and then back to recordings, the sort is ok, but in the sort field is nothing to see, wich sorting is on.

greetings

This is a bug I was aware of when I released this one. Hopefully I'll resolve it on the next...

Anyone else noticed this? I'll try to duplicate...

[meekell]

Crashless, does the don't like command work when a show is selected on the upcoming recordings of the main menu?

Edit: Nevermind...I answered my own question.

Meekell,

Thanks for continuing to update your awesome STV. Unfortunately, I don't see any change in the dialog behavior when I end a file. I select "Delete" and it returns me to the menu without deleting the file.

Hey, looking good. Everything is really coming along well. Found a bug though - in the favorites menu, when you select a favorite, the additional airings button doesn't do anything.

Also, I know it's not something that's easy to track down, but I'm still getting lots of freezes on my 350 out during shows. It only seems to happen with your STV. I only mention it, to mention it. If there's anything I can send you to help, I would gladly do so.
