Utility: SageTray - SageTV tray application

The file in the download seems to be the same as the previous version.

BTW: If the file in the downloads section wasn't updated properly, see this post for info about updating a file in the download section.

Ok, just re-uploaded the file. Try again ...

Thanks k10ck3r. This is a cool app.

I was able to get it to work, but it seems as though it keeps popping up all the time. It will even pop up over my full screen SageTV app. Does that have to do with the update delay?

hmm, I downloaded the 1.01 version and still get a crash.

Not sure why it won't run for me.

Must i create a config file before running it? All I did was extract it from the zip file and double click it.

thanks,

EDIT: I found out why it crashed. I save all my plugins on my RAID server. I just ran it from the server and it crashes. When I copied it to my local machine it runs fine. I wonder if it has issues creating the config file via the unc path?

The Regular Poll rate determines how often it checks for updates. If something has changed, then it shows the popup. I will have to add an option to control when popups occur and also whether or not users want the popup to always be on top, since I just realized that it will generate a popup with each channel change while watching tv. (I use mine just for recording, so I didn't consider this case ... but I will add some customization options that should help you out.)

Yes, .NET apps normally have issues when not running on a local drive - something to do with untrusted zones. I will do some checking and see how I can work around this....

A few changes are included in 1.0.2. Given the input from Armondole, I have added a couple of preferences for controlling how the popup behaves. You can now set whether or not the popup is always on top and whether or not is is shown when changes are detected. (Clicking the icon still forces the popup to be displayed).

No matter what I try I can't get sagetray connected with my server.

I have no password with nielm's webserver either.

The machine I'm trying to run it on is my client with Vista.

any pointers?

I would check to make sure the GetStatus plugin is configured correctly to allow a connection from another machine. By default, it only allows local host connections. This is done by setting the following line to 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1 in the .properties file:

nielm/getstatus/bind_addr=0.0.0.0

The only other thing I can think of is to make sure the right Ip Address is entered in the Server Address field for SageTray.

Version 1.0.4 has a few relatively minor changes:
1) The "always show on top" has been defaulted to false instead of true.
2) There is now an option to launch the SageTV Service Control panel from the context menu.
3) Modified the behavior of the default button. This used to save the changes automatically. Defaulted settings must now be saved just like any other changes. (This allows user to cancel a reset-to-defaults action if reset was selected accidentally).
4) Fixed a couple of string format issues for the "now-recording" information (There were some extra spaces in the string).

The update isn't showing up in the downloads area at the moment, but I noticed that some maintenance was being performed on the downloads area this evening. Hopefully, it will be back online soon.

I am having trouble downloading. I see version 1.0.4 is there, but when I try to click the download button, I get an error message about having insufficient privileges. I downloaded 1.0.0 before successfully.

Try again... the download section update seems to have changed an option so that all new files needed to be approved first.

Just uploaded version 1.1.6. The 1.1.x series uses a new popup format that is color coded and aligns the data in columns so that it is easier to read. Numerous bug fixes and usability issues (like no longer stealing focus when the popup is shown and not fading the popup when the mouse cursor hovers over the popup or the tray icon) are also implemented.

This refuses to load in my setup, I use no login for the webserver. I can see the getstatus output in my browser fine...

Any pointers

This is what I would check:

1) Verify that both getstatus and webserver plugin information has been added to the correct .properties file (SageClient.properties file should be updated when using SageTv without the service and Sage.properties when using the service)

2) On the SageTray PluginTab,
a) Verify that the IP address for the server is entered correctly
b) Verify that the ports are set correctly for the two plugins

3) If running the Tray app on a machine other than the one with SageTv installed, make sure that the nielm/getstatus/bind_addr is set to 0.0.0.0.

4) It sounds like you have the webserver working, so if everything seems to be configured correctly, but still isn't working for you, try to verify that the getstatus plugin is working by using SageMon.

Version 1.1.8 has been posted in the download area.
Changes from 1.1.6:
1) Can now specify when popups should be auto-displayed (used to be on all detected changes). Can select to auto-display when state changes occur and/or when schedule changes occur.
2) Fixed conflict resolution logic so that the app now understands resolved conflicts (and turns off the warning indicators)
3) Added more instructions to the About screen.

thanks for the updates, love this utility!

Hi all,
A quick note to point out that there is a small incompatibility with the latest version of the webserver. An update is currently under test and I should be able to put out a new version this weekend.

[k10ck3r]

Ok, version 1.1.10 has been uploaded. It turns out the required modifications were fairly minor. Please let me know if anyone has issues with the new version. This version also corrects a small bug where sometimes the currently recording show also appears in the pending recordings list.
