STV Import: SageMC MovieTimes Movie Listings v0.64

[gplasky]

Did you add the menu item Movietimes to your menu? In SageMC right-click or alt-O on the menu screen where you want to add it. Choose Main Menu Options. Go to New and slide over to New Internal Screen. Scroll down to Movietime Main and select it. Type in what you want to call it. (MovieTimes) Now click OK. Go to File and slide over to Save Menu file. It is now on a menu and you can choose it. You can left-click or Alt-O on that menu and move it up or down in the menu order. Don't forget to save it.

Ok, I think the problem was that I added the menu file before configuring everyhting. I just added it again and now it works, but I can't play trailers, I don't think it is downloading them actually, think it is just downloading the jpg files.

Keep getting an error in the log, it doesn't find and download trailers, anyone else experiencing this? "........... Found existing media: Marley and Me.jpg

There may be issues. It only downloads about 6 movies for me. The week before I had over a dozen.

Mine seems to be downloading everything. I just deleted all trailors and will see if it gets everything. What quality are you using? If using an HD qulity try changing to "High" and see if that changes anything.

[gplasky]

I actually had it set at HD1080. I had it set to high the other day. I'm going to delete everything (posters & trailers) to see what I get.

As you can see it won't run as a user without a password. Create another user, add it to the Administrator group and give it a password. (Some people will also run the service as Administrator if it has a password.)

(...running vista...) I can double click the exe file and it will run fine. I try running it through the task manager (and yes, I am an admin with a password), nothing happens except the task scheduler says it successfully ran.

How did you make out? Everything is running fine but I have no trailers downloaded, just.jpgs.

Look back in this thread one page.

I am getting what appears to be lag when watching the trailers. My profile is set to 1080, but I am using a powerline ethernet network with supposedly many times over capability. How would I know what is causing the lag - the ability of the computer to spit out the file fast enough, the network connection, or the HD200 to play it back???

I didn't see that post, I'll try that out tonight. Thanks.

So I deleted all the posters and the trailers and reset the config for High. (Not HD1080 or HD720) I got 18 trailers downloaded. So it's working for me.

Can you post your config file so I can copy some settings from it?

[Morgan111]

It looks like I get everything for HD480 but it has trouble getting some movies when HD720 or HD1080 are selected. I believe it should check for the next lower quality when it fails. I check with the keymaster to see if there is something amiss now.

Here is my config file that works fine:

Turns out that mine was set to high after all. I don't know why it isn't downloading trailers for me?

[Dean_H]

I cannot play any trailers through Sage. I'm using SageMC (latest) and have the latest movie times. The files are all downloaded (.MOV files) and I can see them and play them through windows. When I double click them in windows, windows doesn't know what to use to play. If I choose PowerDVD, they play just fine.

Sage gives the choice to play the trailer for the movie, but when I click "play trailer" all I get is the circle of death. The machine hangs. If I ctrl-alt-delete, I see that one of the cores (processor) is pegged at 100% (shows a 50% total load). The machine will sit there until I stop the sage process from running.

Any ideas? Movie times works a few months ago. I've not tried it until recently, and now have this problem.

[panteragstk]

Has anybody had trouble getting the plugin to find their zipcode? When I put mine in it won't find anything. I must be doing something wrong.

[Dean_H]

I still can't play MOV files.....it just hangs Sage....anyone with an idea?

[Shield]

Can anyone run their "mtsa config.xml" or their scheduled task to see if this runs? I'm not able to get even the stand along version working right now, and I can't help but wonder if it's not a firewall issue on my side....
