Just wondering if this import still works with the current sagemc? I've been only using the backgrounds/graphics from this one for a while.
Thanks,

Someone mentioned that there may be a problem with the Movie Times import with the latest SageMC STV. I haven't upgraded to the new STV yet but will try to do that later today and load this one two. I'll let you know if I find a problem.

Thanks!

I had loaded the latest SageMC and things looked like they installed correctly for me. I noticed a couple of hickups in the debug log from the import. I didn't check yet to see what it affects, but nothing too obvious. I will resolve those issues and maybe have a minor update this weekend. I also went from SageTV 6.0.19 to the latest 6.1.4RC and do not see a problem.

Actually with the latest SageMC STV I did find that on dialog boxes, the active button is blue and does not show the text from the selected item on the button. That must be one of the conflicts I found in the log.

Yep, i love ITv and the current version really needs to be updated. Please who ever the author is, when is the next update coming out?

Any updates on updated icons?? I like this style a lot... and would like to see any icons that fit this theme.

Also, why the need for the Import?? It doesn't really look like there are any significant changes to the layout.

Hi Morgan, I hope I'm not bugging you. I'm curious if you have an update for iTV to match the latest SageMC version.

I would imagine the import covers things which are not handled by graphics. To make all menus black, etc.

Is anyone using the latest SageMC? If so, what kinds of issues do you see with the iTV theme. According to Morgan, he needs to do an update to make the latest feature look right. I could have heard Morgan wrong, but he mentioned he would have an update a week ago.

[Morgan111]

Sorry for the delay. I had gotten a start on it and think I can finish it up today.

Without the updates there are some inserted boarders that don't appear, and on some dialog boxes, the text of the highlighted selection cannot be seen.

Cool! Thanks. This was the only missing piece to my new sageMC setup. I'm guessing you will let us know in this thread?

Sorry for the delay guys. Didn't have much time and wasted too much of it chasing a problem that didn't really exist.

The new import should work fine with Dirk's latest 6.3.2c STV. If you have the graphics already installed you can just download the xml import file here

The full installation can be found here.


I still would like to make some additional enhancements in the near future.

I had a few from Eric but could use a few more. I do like the ones from the iSage theme although I was initially concerned about using the exact iTV graphics

Morgan, sorry if what I'm asking sounds ignorant. But, is the iTV theme compatible with the below graphics add-ons?? If so, do they match your theme? Which would ones do you recommend?

Glassy Show Icons, Glassy Show Icons, Squared, Color Coded Guide Bars, Glassy Selection Bars, Color Genre Icons

I have not tried all of them but they should be fine except for the selection bars. Well you could even try the selection bars. They really change the overall look but you may like them that way.

You can try grabbling some/all of the graphics from my new Liquid Theme and it's Alternate Graphics download as well. The naming conventions are all the same so you can mix and match to your heart's content.

Here is an example screenshot with a look somewhat similar to iTV...

How would the glassy selection bars affect the MovieTimesMC and WebRadioMC addons? I like the way MeInMaui's selection bars look in the main menu. But, i'm not sure if it will screw up the look for the other addons that don't come with SageMC.
