Double-checked. 6.7 on a client. I have 4 tuners 1-99. channel number + enter = blank screen, no sound, tv and osd back on same channel. Could a import be causing this? Movie times, webradio, cpu monitor, caller ID and netflix are what I have loaded. Doesn't happen on the server-same imports.

I'm beginning to like SageMC more and more but there's one thing that's bugging me.
When using PlaceShifter, the sounds when going through the menus come from my TV set? The bleeps and wooshes don't come from the client machine, but from my TV...

Anyone else experiencing this?

I'm not using placeshifter, so I can't say from experience, but where do you want them to come from? I assume the computer you're using Placeshifter on is connected to the tv, so don't you *want* the sound coming from the tv? I guess I should ask it this way - are the sounds coming from a different place than the sound on the recordings are? Cause I would assume they would naturally all come from the same place.

No, I don't want them to come from the TV when I am using PlaceShifter.
PlaceShifter is on my laptop. Could be upstairs, could be in the garden.

My SageTV server is connected to the TV. So when my son is watching TeleTubbies and I am browsing for music or whatever on my laptop, the sounds are interrupting whatever he is watching

When using Placeshifter the STV code is executed on the server, and so are the sound effects. So jds23 is right, when using Placeshifter you should disable the menu sounds in the SageMC options...

Seems PlaceShifter doesn't like SageMC (or the other way around )

I can't change themes on PlaceShifter. No matter which one I choose, it always comes back as blue 2
When in My Music, when I choose a song from view by album and then select a song, PlaceShifter just disappears. I have to restart it and it just doesn't let me select a song like this. When I use the Play button however, it starts the first song of the album okay.

Also sound from the webradio for MC plugin comes from my TV and not PlaceShifter

Think I just figured out what's going on. I just looked again at the schedule, and a couple of shows appeared that weren't there before, but not all of them. They're coming up in a couple of days. That reminded me - did I read somewhere about a 3-day limit or something to how far in advance Sage actually schedules? If so, I don't suppose this is modifiable is it?

Coming from Tivo and other set-top DVRs, I'm used to being able to see scheduled recordings as far in advance as the EPG goes. Anybody able to tell me why Sage would choose to only show the next couple of days?

Thanks...

I believe this is the setting in your properties file. But, just remember, if you start having problems with something, changing this value could have done it.

The value appears to be in seconds, but then a divide of 1000 is needed to get it in days. In other words, take this number, /60, /60, /24, /1000. So if you want to put a new value in, take say, 7 days, *60, *60, *24, *1000 to get the value you enter here.

scheduling_lookahead=259200000

EDIT: Settings>Detailed Setup>Advanced>SageMC 16x9 Options>Main>Previous Channel=DISABLED

You got me. Must of missed reading your post. Sure enough-previous channel was enabled. Don't know why-never use it.

Sweet! Thanks for your continued help geogecko!

[geogecko]

Not a problem. It was funny that I thought building the HTPC (the PC) would be the hardest part about an HTPC, but it's really been all about software!

The HDTV icon appears to be getting cut off in the show details screen, both top and bottom, like it's too big or something. Anyone else notice?

After searching the .xml with studio I did find an instance of the HDTV icon that is not set to "Resize to fit". This is probably the one. It's under "Handle Conflict\Airing != null\Detail Panel\Untitled\Untitled\GetProperty("sagemc/hdtv_icons", true)\StringIndexOf(GetExtraAiringDetails(Airing),"HDTV") != -1\Untitled\Untitled"

Thanks guys for the heads-up, must have missed that one. I'll fix this in the next version

Actually it has been enabled by default since I included it into the SageMC options screen (6.4) Also note that the channel change even works with this feature enabled (I am using it myself), I simply input my channel numbers always with 3 digits without pressing select. Same amount of remote button presses for most of the channels (> 9)

Have a question regarding the preview window. In the previous version I use to be able to go to a menu and whatever I was watching would continue to play in the preview window on the bottom left corner. Now it just pauses the show and shows an icon in the preview window.

I looked through all of the feature options but didn’t see anything relating to this. How can I enable the preview window to work like it did before?

Thanks in advance...

[SageDonkey]

Thanks - I'm pretty sure that is what is happening to me. I am so used to typing the channel and ok...so I'm sure that is the problem. I will test first thing Tuesday - system is down for apartment maintence for the next couple of days.

Somehow your Video Menu Options (in Detailed Setup/Multimedia) got set to something different than 'If Active'. This has been reported before, but I can't figure out what would be causing this. Just set the option back, and it should be fine ...

Dirk

[geogecko]

Yes, and the option is in your regular setup, I believe under multimedia, video menu options, set to "If Active."

It appears to be getting reset every time you close and restart Sage.
