That's what it looks like for me too. I'm not sure how to do a screen-shot - I'm using an MVP

Strange that it's not on every show, isn't it? Does it only show up on shows you've tried to compress before?

On another note, your first screenshot reminds me to get comskip setup!

Yeah, you need to get that setup, pronto. It's one of the bragging rights of any HTPC user, and helps in the heated TiVo discussions...

Man, some people will never understand what the point is...got into a very detailed and frustrating conversation with some family members this week...

Not for me, but perhaps it only shows up on favorites?

compress all seems to be listed in the details screen for ALL my shows. The only time delete is off the bottom that I have found so far is when a show is archived. An archived show adds another button on screen which forces delete off the bottom.

Thanks Karl, this describes the scenario very well. It's for favorite shows that have been archived, the 'Unarchive' button messes things up. I think about moving the 'Unarchive' button to the Options menu, unless a majority prefers to have the 'Compress All' moved to the 'Send to.." instead

Edit: oops, didn't notice you figured the same in your last post ...

On another note, anyone have their transcoding stuck like mine? I never get one to process...

What options do you have enabled to get the time bar and encoding information shown at the bottom?

Just press the 'Info' button

Did you try to delete those jobs from the property file and start over again ?

Btw, I noticed that ugly blue options menu in your screenshot. Did you know that you can adjust the background color to match your theme (Colors & Fonts/Options Menu color) ?

You set it watched, but the icon doesn't show up ? Weird ... What are your display settings for this menu (On Now / Filter / Order) ?

Thanks popechild, all suggestions make very much sense

5) Bug maybe? At least for me, My Pictures keeps resetting itself to 2x2, regardless of what I set it to, any time I leave that section and then come back to it.

Yeah, noticed that too. As a workaround, quit SageMC after you changed the setting, and it will stick.

I changed the selection bars from green to grey myself with Photoshop . If you want to use them, I attached the images to this post

2) Suppose I wanted to keep the theme I'm using, but switch the font to the one from the MCE theme. Any way I can accomplish this?

A SageMC theme does not set any fonts, it's just a collection of images and icons. If you want to change fonts, you'll have to edit the numerous font settings in the property file (some of them are accesible in the SageMC options). Btw, the font you see in my screenshots is not the default Arial, but 'MS Trebuchet' (I think that's the font the original MCE is using).

Hi Dirk,
Sorry to bother you again, but I'm having problems again.

After my clean re-install of both Sage 6.0.15 & SageMC 6.3.0 it worked good. I was playing with some settings or something, I can't remember exactly, but I messed something up. I ended up un-installing and re-installing just SageTV. I worked with that for a while getting it all setup in both regular and service mode. After everything was working fine I extracted SageMC to the Sagetv directory, started service then started Sagtv. It's back to hanging again and I didn't even load the XML file yet.

I think I'm going to be stuck using the defaut Sagetv. I can't understand why this is back to not working again.

Which tells me that it can't be anything SageMC specific...

When you reinstalled the default SageTV, did you install any other imports before installing SageMC ?

Hmm...guess I had never seen that before. Got any suggestions? Would be cool to see a color swatch (?) while changing the number, so you can see it instantly... (Wouldn't you know that suggestion would turn into a feature request?)

Do I just delete all the transcoder/jobs/ lines?

Edit. Thanks, that took care of the problem. Not sure why it was hung up, except that it had job 5 in the queue, and said the next job ID was 8...

Yep, shut down Sage (UI and service) and delete them ...

If the Sage core would offer a color swatch I would use it, but coding this from scratch, nah thanks ... Start with something like 437C8D ...

Thanks, I'll try that (actually, that color turned out perfect, thanks!). Also, I found these links handy...

I would prefer 'compress all' in the send to... or options dialog.

For the background color changes and such, would it be possible to include an option to choose your own background like in the deafult STV with the extra options enabled?
