See attachments:

Check your properties file:
ui/epg_num_cols=4
ui/epg_num_rows=7

The manual for SageTV should have the full list with what they do.

Another way I know of (similar to what nielm said, but w/o renaming) is to move the file to another recording dir while SageTV is closed, as mentioned in this FAQ: I moved a SageTV recording to the library. Is there a way to move it back out of the library and into the SageTV Recordings list again? (It says 'library', but that's because that's what the Recording Detail screen calls it: "Move to Library".) ... at least it worked the last time I tried it.

I know you're not really taking feature requests anymore, but I have one anyway . Would it be possible to add the ability to set a preferred tuner for each favorite? I don't mean just setting tuner priorites in the properties file. Is such a thing possible via Studio? I have my Fusion working via Stealth's HDNE plugin and I want to specify my SD tuner for SD shows and HD tuner for HD shows. Thanks.

How do your channels map? You might be able to restrict your favorites so that they only record on your HD channel, thus restricting it to your HD tuner.

[flashbacck]

N/m it's not really that big a deal anymore. My main concern was that SD shows recorded on the HD tuner end up letterboxed, but I figured out how to edit the aspect ratios so that wouldn't really be a problem anymore.

[flashbacck]

Ok, how about the ability to set tuner priority within Sage? Rather than exiting and editing Sage.properties. Is that possible with Studio?

This is not possible with Studio.

nice job on this stv, mlbdude!

finally got my sage running again after 2 months layoff while i remodel and the one new addition that i have never used is comskip.

what exactly do i need to get it running?

i have comskip 1.64 downloaded and i'm assuming that i need dirmon? any special place where this stuff needs to be installed to?

thanks and sorry for being a lazy dumba$$!

[stanger89]

Yeah, Dirmon is probably the best way to do it, although I think the STV can do it also (I like dirmon better since it cleans up orphan'd files).

Basically just install Dirmon, point it to comskip and your video directory(s), and set up a processor. You'll want something like this:
Command line:
O:\Apps\SageTV\comskip\comskip-0.64\comskip.exe (I have hide checked)
Command line options:
--ini=O:\Apps\SageTV\comskip\comskip-0.64\comskip.ini --videoredo (don't need the --videoredo if you don't want the project files created)

And under triggers I have:
Does exist: mpg OR (nothing)
AND
Does not exist: txt OR vprj (don't want the vprj if you don't have --videoredo specified).

[technazz]

Just an annoyance. When i go to change the whats playing either From My Videos or My TV the OLDVideo info will show up on the TOP of the screen before playing the new one. It displays for abour 2 sedconds then gos black then the new one shows up. It makse you think you selected the wrong file. Is there a way to clear this out so you dont see this anfter selecting a new video?

[Xsabre]

After viewing a DVD the comskip becomes disabled even with it enabled in the option view of the recorded show.

Has anybody figured out how to re-enable comskip after viewing a DVD? (Without restarting Sage)

[Naylia]

Hey guys,

I just released a skin for XLobby which integrates pretty flawlessly with SageTV and the SageMC skin (currently only supports Blue Two...the other themes are coming).

Check it out over here and let me know what you think. I'm really trying to make this an option to provide all the funtionality in Xlobby and leave the PVR job to Sage. It even goes stragiht to the My Tv view so you don't have redundant main menus.

I'd especially love your feedback mlbdude and I have an issue with Sage passing focus back to Xlobby, maybe I can work this with you and we can get an option to enable a button on the my tv screen or a custom command that fixes it.

I started a thread for this here.

I have played around some more, and indeed I have no trouble when using "Play From Here". I've even gone so far as to test with a clean install, pristine properties and wiz.bin files and only about 20 MP3's in a local folder. If I hit the normal "Play This Song", I get 100% CPU. Again, no problems with the orignal V2 STV, nor with "Play From Here". I'm actually a little surprised that nobody else is speaking up, since I can't think of a single thing on my system that would be causing it.

I'm not even sure what the "Play From Here" means. But if, as you say, it has something to do with bypassing any playlists, etc., then maybe it's important to mention I have never set up a playlist in Sage. I'm just shuffling everything in my MP3 directory.

BTW, I enabled logging and when I try to change songs or wait for the shuffle to happen, an endless stream of this occurs:

(etc., etc.)


Either way, I have a fix now ("Play From Here"), so I'm happy to use your beautiful STV, but it would be nice to be sure my wife isn't going to hit the wrong button.

Thanks.

It basically sounds like there is a size limit on Playlists. I will bring this up with Frey to make sure they are aware of it or if there is a workaround. Thanks Pawn!

[jcato]

First off, great STV! I hope you're still working on it, if so I have a small (I think) request. On the My TV page, where it shows Recent and Upcoming Recordings, it would be nice if it showed hours/minutes if the show time is withing 24 hours instead of 'Today'. Something like

Good Eats.........In 17 min

or

Family Guy............3 hrs 22 min ago

Anyway, I like the look and simplicity of this STV. I think this STV is my best bet to get Meedio and Sage to look seemless.

Oh, I guess one more thing I'd like to see is the date along with the time in the upper righthand corner.

Thanks!

Would it be possible to add/modify things a bit...?

On the detailed info screens there does not seem to be a specific menu for setting the dont like flag. Yes, I know that I can set up a specific remote code to set it, but with the wife, things need to be specific....

Also, on the Movies 'page', would it be possible to 'change' the sort by title screen to include folders? It is a pain the a$! to scroll through 60+ entries of a specific show only to have to wade through another 60 entries of the next one... With folders, it would seem to be much easier to scroll through the 6000-7000+ shows.

Just my 2 cents...

[mlbdude]

I think Don't Like only shows up if you have IR enabled.

Ahhh... you are right... Why is that? If I manually record something, don't you still want/need to update the wiz.bin in case you ever start IR?

-Jason

[mlbdude]

Possibly, but to keep confusion low and to get some space back it is hidden for non IR users .

[Stuntman]

I just installed SageMC and love the look.. I had been using Cayars 17.. question is this.. For some reason I don't get the comskip options any more.. I don't get "My Menu" as mentioned in some posts and there is no comskip options in detailed settings any longer.. I use the client exclusively, and all worked great under Cayars 17.. any idea where that stuff went?? The server is still creating the comskip files.. so I know they are there.. it's just SageMCE doesn't seem to process them from my client..

Thanks in advance!
