My version of PlayOn doesn't have anything named ESPN Network anywhere, I have no idea what you are talking about.

First of all, thank you for the excellent update EP!

I'm able to import my queue's with no problems at all however I'm now getting the message,"You shouldn't be seeing this, check to make sure you have the PlayOn plugin installed!”.

The message goes away and then the "content is being buffered" appears and the video then plays.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin several times but it still appears......

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Hmm, that's a new one. Sounds like 7.1.7 might have broken my STVi a bit, thanks for the report, i'll take a look.

Thanks for the update! It fixed the issue with my kids Naruto Show? Is there a way to have sage download the shows that are in que prior to viewing?

Nope, sorry. I understand how handy that would be but Hulu/Netflix/etc. are streaming sites so I respect that and don't enable any kind of downloading.

Glad this fixed your issues though

I think I may still be having the Queue Importer issue. I deleted all of my PlayOn files but I still had the year problem after reimporting. So I deleted all of the files again and I went into BMT and deleted all the metadata. I rescanned for all media files in Sage. I then Manually updated the queue and then rescanned again. All looks good except for a file that I added to my queue in the middle of these processes - this file would have been in the queue and then rescanned and it shows up with the () at the end of the movie name and the Fanart and metadata is gone.

edit - Nevermind after deleting this movie in BMT it is showing up properly - but now my TV shows for both Hulu and Netflix aren't showing up?

As long as the videos are there, aren't being overwritten every night, and have enough info in the filename for BMT to properly identify them then Queue Importer is working fine. You'll probably just need to wait another day for Sage/BMT to get back in sync.

Okay after trying uninstall, reinstall, reconfigure...blah...blah...blah

I finally found a setting in sage about using a temp directory for streaming internet video. (ONLINE VIDEO OPTIONS under the CUSTOMIZE menu in the DETAILED SETUP)

Oops...it was set to a directory that no longer existed.

Changed and poof!

Things are working again normally. Wow. It only took me 2 weeks to accidently stumble across that.

ESPNNetworks is available to people who have Time Warner Cable or Verizon FIOS. To get it to show up in PlayOn goto the PlayOn Settings > Channels > ESPN > Options. Under Options there is a check box to show ESPNNetworks. You have to log into the site with your browser and then it will show up in PlayOn.

Wow, good catch. There's no way I could have seen that from my logs.

Ahh, gotcha, I can do that. Can you navigate into ESPN networks manually through the PlayOn menu and post the log (see the link in my signature for details)?

After deleting my PlayOn files and reimporting the Queue all seems well for now. I don't know what I did wrong before - perhaps I hadn't deleted all of the old files?

Anyone else having this issue?

Video's work and everything it's just annoying.

Just wondering if I have something set incorrectly.

Thanks!

I think that is a live streaming service. I looked at the playon site and that isn't listed as one of their channels. It would be cool if they added it since it is a live service. I'd be really happy to be able to watch MNF again without going to a friend's house or to a bar.

Is there a way to get the Amazon VOD Prime Instant Video folder to show up when Amazon VOD is selected in the Playon settings (Playon -> Playon -> Playon Settings -> Choose which PlayOn Items to show in the Main Menu).

When you select Amazon VOD from the PlayOn Main Menu it only has the standard Amazon VOD folder and not the Prime Instant Video folder.

If you click on the PlayOn menu item from the main SageTV home screen and then on the Amazon VOD, both the regular Amazon VOD and the Prime Instant Video folders are there and work normally.

The update is great...thanks for all the effort it must have taken to make this work and look like it does!!

The .flv file shows up in it's correct folder but it's 0 bytes. I have the latest version of the playon plugin for version 7 and the most recent version of playon installed. I've tried reinstalling both with no luck. Also, I'm using Diamond but I don't think that is the issue.

Ok, I tried accessing netflix through a browser and got a DRM error message. Now I know that has to do with Silverlight. So I checked my version of Silverlight and it's 4.0. I've read around the internet that 4.0 breaks things for some folks. I downgraded to 3.0 and all works well. Problem solved right? No. If I reboot the machine silverlight upgrades itself to 4.0. I have automatic updates turned off on this machine and have even went into the silverlight management console and selected "Never Update". So I'm thinking, as long as I don't reboot were fine right. Wrong, it updates overnight to 4.0! So I call netflix and they say the version of Silverlight 4 that I had is not the version to use. So I downloaded the most recent from the silverlight page. Same thing, DRM error. I call Netflix again and they say "can you reach microsoft.com" I tried and couldn't. So I fixed that. No dice. Rolled back to 3.0 again and it worked.

So that's my story at this point. I need to use 3.0 and fix it so that it cannot update either through some router rules or permissions on the folders themselves or something. Anyone have any suggestions?

Make sure you have the latest patches and service packs for Windows installed. I run netflix on both Windows 7 and WHS v1 and have not seen the issue.

Meant to mention that I had tried that.

Server is Windows 7 Ultimate w/ Q8200 processor 32 bit w/ 3 gigs ram. Video processor is Intel g45.

Yeah, its possible but you'll lose the ordering of the queue and it'll just be alphabetical. Just go into

C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\SageOnlineServicesEXEs\UPnPBrowser\UPnPBrowser.presets

And change the Netflix_Queue preset to...

Netflix_Queue:::"/search" "PlayON:Netflix:Instant Queue:Alphabetical:+2"

I am getting this error but not on my server or Placeshifter client, but I am on two of my HD-200 extenders but not on another one.

Can you think of any reason why I would have this playback error on some, but not all HD-200s? Could it be not having the correct firmware?

I have tried restarting Sage and also doing a power off reset of the problematic extenders.

Is there a log I can post to help troubleshoot?
