right now no... but do you mean videos? 2nd row, 3rd from the left button?

[toricred]

I'm not using the Sage remote, but it is the one linked to Sage TV Recordings.

razr, I just updated to this latest one and noticed two thing. First, it seems like you added the SageTV logo to the bottom right corner, which pushes the TVE lists up a row. I don't see an option to disable or move that.

Second, there's a bug with the TVE options menu. I had an option in the right panel selected and moved off the left panel menu item and then went back. The option I had selected in the right panel was not displayed or "jumped to". It was actually selected, but off the screen. As soon as I moved up or down, it jumped to display the selected item.

Let me know if I didn't describe that second one well enough. It was a tough one.

BTW, thanks for the update! I'm really glad the filter options stick now!

That is from mapping to the default Header and Footer that I introduced in 1.02... It was easier to get the header correct to just link to the header and footer menu directly... I'll see if there is a way I can make displaying the footer an option (or make it smaller). I'm not going to get rid of it completely though... bc personally i want the footer there... that's where the diskbar is displayed normally Can you open a ticket at the project site so i don't forget?

nope that was described perfectly... and I've noticed it before... iirc i fixed that in one of the last sagemc releases but not sure... Can you bug that too?

you're welcome

[Skirge01]

Of course. I think that's the least I can do. All bugged.

I'm not sure if TVE is the problem or not, but I can't get fanart to display for new series. I think the problem is that these series only have fanart for individual seasons. The fanart is being downloaded by the latest version of BMT.

Yup, that's it, same behaviour...

Thanks !

Thanks for the quick turn around on the new build. Unfortunately, it looks like there is a new bug.

If you have "Play Options" set under (Tv Explorer Options -> Navigation -> Episode "Select/OK or Episode "Play") and try to play an episode. It will not play the episode you have selected, instead it plays the first episode in your episode list.

I tested under both "Select/OK" and "Play" options. If I set these to "Play" instead of "Play Options" it works fine.

I've gone ahead and bugged for you on google code.

have you verified in the bmt webui that fanart does in fact exist for those series? Is it all fanart (ie posters / banners / backgrounds) or just one of them? What series? I have added series recently and fanart is displaying properly for me. I am calling phoenix_fanart_GetFanartXXX calls so if the bmt webui is showing fanart existing then it should work. If you zip up the ..\logs\phoenix.log, ..\ortus.log, and sagetvclient_0.txt logs I'll take a look at them. You can either post them here or send them to sagetve @ gmail . com

That is correct, brand new bug and it worked fine in 1.02.

You got it and yes it does it every time and no matter how you have the sorting ie, latest recording, season/episode, etc.

[razrsharpe]

[Peter_h]

Thanks for the update. Looks like there is another bu... I'm j/k.

Build is flawlesss, thanks again for the great plugin.

After each episode ends and Sage asks to delete the recording, whether I answer delete or keep, the TVExplorer interface locks up. The only way to get a response is by pressing the exit key to exit out to the Sage main page. This is happening on my HD200's, HD300 and Mac Placeshifter.

Any ideas how I can troubleshoot the issue?


Thanks!

[Skirge01]

This isn't happening on my PC client and never has. Have you tried on a full client? Also, do you have any other plugins installed? If so, try disabling all of them, except for TVE and see if that changes anything.

I'm with skirge... do you have the multifunctionstop plugin installed?.... I dont think sage asks to delete the file at the end of playback by default. Needless to say i have the multifunctionstop plugin installed and it works just fine... on the client and extender... Can you explain your setup more and the exact steps to reproduce?

[HokiePerogi]

I don't run any full clients to try it out on.

As far as steps to reproduce....watch recorded show on extender or placeshifter, let it finish. Answer do not delete (or delete and set watched). At this point Sage brings me back to TVExplorer, but the only remote button which works is the home button.

I run the following plugins:

Basic sleep timer
BMT
Comskip Playback
Enable/Disable Favorites
External Apps
Jetty
Multifunction Stop
Phoenix Fan Art
Play on for SageTV STVi
SageMyMovies
SageTV Web
SageTV Mobile Web
Season and Episode Number in Details
TVExplorer
TwiT.TV

[Peter_h]

I have almost all of the same plugins installed and have no issue on HD200, HD300 and client.

[HokiePerogi]

I went from 2 GB of RAM to 4 GB (3 usable) last night and disabled a handful of unnecessary plugins. I know, I know, I killed the scientific method. Anyways, so far, so good on my HD200 extender. My sample set is only two shows watched to completion since making the changes, but both times TVexplorer was responsive after deleting an episode.

[razrsharpe]

uploaded a new build that adds two main things (%watched overlay for each episode; there are now 2 delays for controlling when the fanart and episode list is displayed) ... see the v1.05 change log for details

-#8 - Enhancement - Add % watched overlay
-#33 - Defect - Fix scroll bar display issues - Group and Episode scroll bars are not same width
-#34 - Enhancement - Add option to set the width of the Filter Select Panel
-#35 - Defect - Add separate configurable delay to display the episode list when browsing groups
-#36 - Defect - TVE "Allows" you to play future recordings
