I agree, but if you were thinking of having Winamp to automatically start the visualization as a "work around," DON'T do it. Deria and I spent about a week debugging that problem with my setup. What happens, is you can NEVER get back out of the visualization when using it this way.

mlbdude, this could just be me, but with the most recent dev version and 1.9 of the Winamp plug-in, the Sage screensaver is interferring with the visualization again. After the 10 minutes goes by, the Sage screensaver takes over. I didn't realize it until just yesterday, because I noticed that my screensaver was set to 0 minutes...must have happened after a reinstall or something?

That was an addon I did to Deria's menu. When I put in his new menu It was lost. When that menu is stabalized (it might be now) I will put back in that code.

Great. Thanks.

Any inputs to my PM from yesterday? Just wondering if you got it.

Hi everyone

Happy new Year.

Unfortunately the new year disagrees with my list of recorded shows. Where where is a single show (ie not a "More" and then a subgrouping) all recording dates from last year are showing as "Today". I presume that the sort is done on the month and day fields so SageMC thinks that they are in the future (the date is correctly shown in the show details).

Interestingly where recordings are grouped as "More" the dates are appearing correctly.

Cheers

Eric

I cannot reproduce this. SageMC actually uses the entire printed date to determine the Today marking. Are you using XMLTV by chance?

I'm seeing this same thing.

I think I saw the same thing, a couple recordings that I know have been there for a long time, I think showed up in "recent recordings," which surprised me, since it's a series that doesn't exist anymore, and currently, I have it set for "First Runs" so that I don't get any more shows recording right now...but I'll have to double check for sure...

mlbdude · #**1448** 01-01-2006, 05:33 PM

Maybe recordings from 12+ months ago? This could be possible.

big boi · #**1449** 01-01-2006, 05:53 PM

does this STV provide the ability to export show info as XML files? or can i use malore's import with this STV to gain that capability?

Muchacho · #**1450** 01-01-2006, 07:16 PM

On recent build I am no longer able to import nielms import to change default padding. Is there a way to work around this? Thanks!

big boi · #**1451** 01-01-2006, 08:15 PM

The back button on your remote.

Are there any plans to add sorting of recordings by original airdate? I love this STV, but no longer use it because many of the shows I watch have been on the air for quite some time and I like to watch them in order. It's the only thing that keeps me using the original sage stv.

You can change the setting in the Sage properties file to

"mlbdude/use_left_as_back=true"

Then the left arrow button will back you out..

big boi · #**1456** 01-02-2006, 12:20 AM

nothing on the mouse though? maybe it's better if i use my remote more and mouse less in navigating sage. i think i'll keep the STV for a while based solely on the queue capability built into the UI. the sage music player has been making me nuts and this one is a nice upgrade.

I was meaning the left arrow on your remote but it will also work with the left button on the keyboard. The SageMC STV works really well with a remote. I don't think Mlbdude ever really meant for it to be used with a mouse/keyboard. He did add the left button property recently though which really helps with a keyboard.

@mlbdude
Yes I am using xmltv (with owilsky's plugin at the moment but demideus' plugin when the recordings were made). Anyhow the problem seems to have resolved itself. I rebooted Sage a couple of times yesterday as as switching xmltv plugins seemed to cause Sage a hissy fit, maybe that sorted it out. When I reported the problem Sage had been running over the new year.

Sorry no.

DRB · #**1460** 01-02-2006, 08:10 AM

One quick question about installing the dev. build. I am sure it will lead to many more. I think I read the new files are in XML. So after I do the update, I followed directions on the wiki page, do I then need to go to settings and pick a new STV? I am going thru this because I need to install the winamp plugin to import and play .ape files.

Thanks
