New media extender FAQ
I've started a new SageTV Media Extender FAQ. For now, it is closed to user-submitted FAQs and I've only added a few things to get it started. Please reply here with more Qs that might go there.

Are there any plans to support DVR-MS files? I will be switching over from MCE and have some DVR-MS recordings I would like to keep.

I still can't find any information on 5.1 audio other than DD and DTS. For instance it states that it can only do stereo Vorbis, but it doesn't say anything aditional about mp3, aac, wma, flac. I'm not sure how to interpret that.

Will the Svideo output correctly work with a 16:9 widescreen at 720p? or are the widescreen formats only available by HDMI?
Is the quality of the SVIDEO output on a 16:9 / 720 screen similar or better than the same out put from the Media MVP? |

New Remote
The new remote for the HD Extender looks really nice. Is there any chance Sage will sell just the remote (for example, to use with USBUIRT or Hauppauge IR receiver, or to replace lost or damaged extender remotes)?

That's why I would use it, but the first poster said that he had a 720p TV. My guess is that he ran out of inputs and/or doesn't have any HD content to stream.

If the HD Extender works out well, I may use it's component inputs and retire some of my other stuff hooked up. |

Multiple sound tracks, subtitles and button locking
Does it allow to choose the sound track (language) from an mp4 file? Does it allow to choose which subtitles to display? E.g. Nero allows to create mp4 files with two sound tracks (e.g. 2 different languages, or 5.1 + stereo, or regular movie soundtrack + director's commentary). The same goes for subtitles.
Does it allow to disable the front panel buttons or at least lock them? E.g. to prevent kids to messing up with the system I would like to disable the buttons and allow to use the system only via remote or perhaps configure that I have to hold home button for 10 sec before the front panel buttons are enabled. The same goes for remote. Is it possible to configure pint which needs to be entered to unlock the keys on the remote (similar to the cell phones). |

This should also work the same as on the MVP -- meaning I don't believe it can show closed captions. Look for the CC plugin in the List of available customizations. Edit: I added this as a FAQ. I'm sure someone will correct me if that turns out to be wrong... Quote:
---------------- An aside to no one in particular, since this happens a bit too much lately: Please don't PM me (or post) to ask if I've seen your question and/or whether I've got an answer for you. If you've posted something, then yes, I've seen it, unless I simply haven't been on the forum since it was posted. If I didn't post a reply, then that could mean: 1) I don't know an answer & don't feel like posting "I don't know" all over the forum, or 2) I might have an answer, but I've got other priorities at the moment and can't try things out yet, or 3) someone else answered and I don't have anything better to add, or 4) some other reason(s), probably good one(s), that I can't think of right now. If you are looking for tech support, please see the bottom of my sig lines. Thanks. - Andy

Will it be possible to remap the existing buttons on the Remote? For example, if I wanted the Videos button to take me to my imported videos folder instead of recordings is there a way to do this?
