STV Imports: Imports for V3 Updated 20/Aug/2005

[nielm]

Just a quick note to say that several of my imports for 2.2 are known not work to very well with the V3 STV, so here are v3 specific versions:

The main differences (unless otherwise indicated) are that the Detailed Setup item will be added to the bottom of the scrollable Customize panel (instead of a new Enhancements panel).

Unless otherwise indicated, the links are to the updated download -- See the original versions for install/usage instructions, and also see the General Module Installation Instructions

Official V4 versions:

• Dynamic Main Menu
• Salsbst's Weather Report Suite
• IMDB Search
• RSS news feeds
• Comskip Playback support (see separate thread)
• Multi-Function Stop
• Multi-Speed FF/REW
• Info Popup
• Delete Partial Recordings
• Default Record Pad

Obsolete items

• Include Archived Recordings -- obsolete -- use the filtering options in SageTV3's Sage Recordings screen.
• Malore's custom Guide menus -- obsolete, now included in SageTV3 stv

IMPORTANT: you cannot import into the default STV file : you have to manually copy it to a new file, and unset the read-only flag.

IMPORTANT: Any bugs that you think are in Sage (as opposed to being in these modules) should be re-tested in the original, as-delivered SageTV3.STV before submitting a bug report (-- it is always possible that a module messes something up!)

IMPORTANT: After each new beta release of Sage, you should re-import any modules into the new STV (otherwise you would be using an old, possibly buggy STV).

PS: I am sure that Sage would also prefer that you beta test the V3 in it's original format!

(I don't remember: do you have other kids?) Congratualtions! ... and, watch out! Both of our daughters were born before that point... and then we got sent home from the hospital w/o a Users Guide! There's a little bit of anxiety the first time you get home, sit down with a brand new baby, and then realize... "now what do we do!?"

Congratulations
The expectation must be the first [version 1] considering all the time you’ve contributed to SageTV in the past.

Well ... You Beta test until you get it right ...

It's always the same ... hardest on the first one ... easiest on the youngest ...

OH ... And Congrats Nielm ... Kids are a blast ...

[nielm]

(I don't remember: do you have other kids?)

yep... 2.5yr old girl who sure does not know what is about to happen!

[White94Cobra]

Congrats! I remember just putting our first in the car to go home. The sudden wave of new responsibility hits you hard and fast.

Thanks for all you do nielm! It is much appreciated...

[silkshadow]

[nielm]

[Crashless]

You're on FIRE today Nielm!

I'm guessing today wasn't the day.

[RedCoat999]

Congrats on the soon-to-be newborn. Hope everything goes well. I've got a 2.5 year old daughter, and a 3 month old daughter! I book on being a big sister was a real life-saver. She loves talking about being a big sister.

[buzzerbee]

Congratulations from me too! Thanks for all you do for us!

I've installed all four of these, and they seem to be working fine!

[srothwell]

Can someone please make Salsblst Weather Suite as a plug-in?

This is the thing my wife and I use all the time and would rather stay at v2.2 than lose it!

BTW, Neil, does your Webserver work OK?

Thanks!

[puffyelms]

At the risk of adding more non-topic posts...
Gratz Nielm. What you do for sage (as well as the other developers) is much appreciated. Will test this stuff out when I get home. Work has me flying out during the week and didn't see beta before I left.

yep

[srothwell]

By the way, Niel, congrats also.

I also have a little one who is almost three and my latest is just turning 7 weeks old.

I forgot how much I liked sleep..... good luck!

Well, I discovered an issue or two with some of the imports.

In the Malore's Custom Guide stuff, when I pull up Guide 3, if I then try and pull up the "Group By" menu item, it does not show anything I can select. If I press select, it groups them by language.

In the multi-speed FF/RW, the buttons it uses for the rewind/fast forward are the |<< and >>| (these are the ones normally used to skip forward and back on most remotes I've seen), not the << and >> (which are the buttons that normally indicate a rewind and fast forward). Is there a way to configure it differently?
