SageMC version error warning on V9

[jmv]

I had several issues when installing V9 yesterday, most of which I have worked through. I still have one nagging issue, which I can live with but is annoying. The server running SageTV v9, also acts as the client on my kitchen touchscreen. Everytime I go to the main screen in SageTV the following warning pops up...

"You are running SageTV version SageTV V9.0.14.568. SageMC requires at least version 7.x!"

This doesn't happen on my HD200/300 clients running SageMC.

Any thoughts on how to get eliminate this warning (I'm guessing with MEinMaui gone I'm SOL...but hoping someone has a workaround.

In terms of my options (in order of likely choice)
1) Live with it
2) Attempt to move my Server to a Linux box / unRaid and run the windows client SW on the Kitchen touchscreen / Windows server (will test later today a V9 client on my office PC to confirm this doesn't happen in all windows client and server)
3) Migrate to a new interface (gemstone?)...need someone to confirm that they are running a pure touchscreen interface on something other than SageMC

You could dig into SageTV Studio and edit the STV. I'm guessing it wouldn't take much effort to just disable the version check (I'm assuming that it actually does work ok, and it's just a meaningless warning because it doesn't recognize v9).

Gemstone is not fully touch friendly. I am hoping to make G2 touch friendly but that's a way off.

I suspect you are using an old STV as the one in the V9 plugin repository doesn't have that message in it.

Tiki and JREkiwi...thank you so much for your hints.

My settings screen says I am using SageMC STV version 6.3.9a, .jar version 6.3.8 and current STV File SageMC_169-1.xml; my clients use SageMC_169.xml...the difference is that I imported the touchscreen menu into the Server version...

ok, I used notepad on my SageMC_169-1.xml and it contains this code in the .xml:

    </Action>
    <Action Name="SageVersion = GetProperty(&quot;version&quot;, &quot;&quot;)" Sym="PRQST-1215397">
     <Conditional Name="!StringStartsWith(SageVersion, &quot;SageTV V7.&quot;)" Sym="PRQST-1215398">
      <Action Name="Message = &quot;You are running SageTV version &quot; + SageVersion + &quot;.\n SageMC requires at least version 7.x !&quot;" Sym="PRQST-1215399">
       <OptionsMenu Name="" Sym="PRQST-1215400">
        <Theme Ref="171" Name="OkDialog"/>
       </OptionsMenu>
      </Action>
     </Conditional>
    </Action>

I then opened SageMC_169.xml and found the same code...but it was a little different. I can't read or interpret either. I learned Basic, Pascal, and Fortran 30 years ago and retained close to Nada...but after I replaced the 169-1 with the 169 section of code, no more warning!!! YEAH!!!

code that is OK with SageMC version check (from my SageMC_169.xml file):

    </Action>
    <Action Name="SageVersion = GetProperty(&quot;version&quot;, &quot;&quot;)" Sym="PRQST-1215397">
     <Conditional Name="Substring( SageVersion , 8 , 9 )*1 &lt; 6" Sym="PRQST-1215398">
      <Action Name="Message = &quot;You are running SageTV version &quot; + SageVersion + &quot;.\n SageMC requires at least version 6.x !&quot;" Sym="PRQST-1215399">
       <OptionsMenu Name="" Sym="PRQST-1215400">
        <Theme Ref="171" Name="OkDialog"/>
       </OptionsMenu>
      </Action>
     </Conditional>
    </Action>

It might be possible to edit the xml directly, but I wouldn't recommend it. Studio is built in to Sage. It's a graphical editor that generates the XML code.

On the client that is having the problem change the STV to use SageMC_169.xml then import the touchscreen menu on that one
