Any follow-up on this item? I too experience the same problem.

Which SageMC version are you using ? If you enable debug logging, do you see any errors in the log ?

Dirk, I only upgraded Sage to 6.2 when this problem showed up. I am currently using Sage MC STV Version 6.3.1. Also, if I go back to the default stv my video's show up in the correct directories etc. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Hi Justin,

it could be this issue. Please try the lastest SageMC version and let me know if the problem goes away.

just to make sure i understand. if i'm using sagemc and have commercial skipping enabled and then go through this setup then i'll have commercial skipping goodness?

I like the SageMC but ..

How do you set the Channel Entry in SageMC?

In regular SageTV it's at Setup -> Customize -> Channel Entry Options but that setting is stripped from SageMC and it limit me to 2 digits number and I have a sat box which all of my channels are in the 3 and 4 digits range.


Thank you

Yep, follow those directions and you should be good to go.

For now, switch to the default STV (SageTV3.xml) and make your change there. When you switch back to SageMC, the setting should stick.

Aloha,
Mike

EDIT: Please ignore me. I have no idea what I am talking about. The above statement is wrong.

Yup, you set up a program (dirmon, dirmon2, or comskip monitor) to scan for new recordings. That program triggers comskip or showanalyzer to scan the recording for commercials and saves the info in a .edl or .txt file. SageMC will then read the .edl/.txt file and skip the commercials.

I just tried it 1 more time putting it at 4 digits in default then switch to SageMC and it still ignore that setting putting it back to 2 digits but if I switch back to default it will go back to 4 digit.

A bug in SageMC perhaps?

Thank you

Sorry about the mis-information. I thought this was a property that controlled the core SageTV behavior, but it seems that it has to be implemented in the STV. I do not believe that SageMC has support built in for this yet as it is new for SageTV v6.2. I'm not sure if flachbar is planning to add this capability yet, so it sounds like a feature request is in order.

Again, sorry for speaking out of turn.

Aloha,
Mike

It not a problem at all.

I really like the look of SageMC and wasn't sure if he moved that setting in another location of the setup menu that why I asked to see if was something different I had to do to make it work or an file I had to edit in SageMC.

I was hoping to get it working becasue sat channels goes into the 4 digits range for their channel number and it annoying having to scroll all the way to to the 4 digits range when I can enter rounded up number and jump to it very quickly then do a light scrolling to select my show to watch.

I hope he would look into implementing it. I am using 6.2.10


Thank you
Bill

Youtube doesn't work in SageMC and the error I get is
"Error: The requested video was not found on the server"

Youtube works fine in default SageTV 6.2.10

Thank you
Bill

I had the same problem with my MVP. You need to go into "C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\clients\" and edit the "028a838b28d0.properties" file there (or whatever the heck your file is named). I had to add the "ui/disable_native_image_loader=true" property since there wasn't one there already. Just search for "ui/base_font_name=..." and add the new property after that (or anywhere since I don't think the order of the properties is important).

As usual, make sure the server and MediaMVP are shut down before editing the file. Then restart everything. I'm not sure if you have to completely reboot the MVP, but I did just to be on the safe side.

An easier way to make this change is to load the default STV, then go to Setup -> Detailed Setup -> Advanced, then toggle the Optimized Image Loader setting.

This is also the purpose of the "Hardware Setup" button in SageMC. (The button at the top of the Setup page) Using this loads the STV for the default STV. Now change the settings most recently added to Sage but not available from the SageMC page. When you're done switch back to the SageMC STV.

Absolutely right, and this will all get much easier in the next version...

I believe you were correct to being with.

I think my SageTV got corrupted or broken somehow because when I reinstalled SageTV again it took the update from default into SageMC this time.

Thank you

Hi,
Is it possible to have the channel icons next to the channel number in the epg guide?
When viewing the default STV the icons appear next to the channel listing for each channel but not in SageMC, I've looked for a setting but havent found anything yet.

Cheers
