STV IMPORT: Exit Sage plugin (1.1 12/Jan/2006)

Superceeded

This customisation has been superceeded by the ExitSage MenuItemLet for use with the dynamic menu v 5.1 or later

Do you just want to cleanly exit sage? Maybe you need to restart to fix a DirectX annoyance, or just shutdown without finding the mouse and keyboard...

Here is a plugin that allows you to add an 'exit sage' button to my dynamic menus...

This only exits the SageTV UI -- it does not exit the service.

Hi nielm,
Thank you for the plug-in!
I imported it but I can't find it in the internal screens menu...
Any idea?

Thanks again,
orky7

Neilm,
Can an STV detect if the Sage service is running or if FSE is enabled?

I'm currently running the Service and FSE and would like to avoid windowed mode or trying to resume from the system tray. Doing so can cause system instability issues when running FSE. I was thinking that if the STV could determine those factors, you could reconfigure the mouse icons in the top right of the menu (currently used for sleep and windowed mode) and change their behavior to just exit the Sage UI. This way we wouldn't have to navigate back to the main menu to use your plug-in.

Maybe just an option to replace the Windowed mode icon with an X icon while in FSE or something.

No, nor can it detect if service mode is being used.

yes:
GetProperty("ui/disable_dx9_full_screen_ex",true)
false == FSE enabled; true == FSE disable.

so yes, what you want is technically possible -- search for "GoWindowed" or "GoSleep" in the STV and change the action children of the GoWindowed/GoSleep do do an if FSE, then exit... Just make sure that you never run in non-service mode!

You can sort-of detect service mode if the following is true:

!IsClient() && GetProperty("client","")=="true"

I say "sort-of" because it isn't fool proof, since it will also report true when the "-client" parameter is used. You won't know for certain that the service is actually running.
