STV: MlbDude2 1.8.7 - July 5

[kny3twalker]

is no one having issues with the add favorites or search for shows screens
I feel like an idiot if I just need to do something and I am waiting for a reply about whether this is problem and will be fixed

[gplasky]

No you're not crazy. I can confirm thje same issues and I'm using VMR9 and 3D acceleration. Also, after you finish clicking in your letters and if you move your mouse over the alphabet, the ghosting goes away after a couple swipes. On your Main Menu, the vertical line you're seeing is (I think) actually a 3d shadow effect that goes up the left side and along the top of the screen. Maybe because you're using overlay it is showing up as a solid, vertical line.

any chance of a hdd capacity indicator like malore has?

also, is it either/or on the upcoming/recording windows on the main menu?
i'd like to display both...

[kny3twalker]

it will do current recording and upcoming at the same time

I just wish mibdude would confirm these issues

feel like I have a pvr 350 and I'm dealing with Frey
LOL just kidding

Hi

Has anyone noticed that when you exit Sagtv you loose the names of recordings from the shows in recordings section? It is a real pain!

I like the idea of having a capacity free indicator, but I would prefer for it not to say xGb, I would rather have hours in relation to the recording capacity. What do you think.

Also would it be possible to have "Archived Shows" on the main menu, I do not use the music jukebox, dvd player or picture stuff. Perhaps this could be added as an option.

Cheers

Dan

This is a weird thing that I'm seeing using the June 5 and 6 update.

Using this text in my sage.properties:
ui/main_menu_button_image=
ui/main_menu_epg_enabled=true
ui/main_menu_epg_text=Program Guide
ui/main_menu_livetv_enabled=false
ui/main_menu_livetv_text=LiveTV Guide
ui/main_menu_mlib_enabled=true
ui/main_menu_mlib_text=Media Library & DVD
ui/main_menu_schedrec_enabled=true
ui/main_menu_schedrec_text=Schedule Recordings
ui/main_menu_setup_enabled=true
ui/main_menu_setup_text=Setup
ui/main_menu_sleep_enabled=true
ui/main_menu_sleep_text=Sleep Mode
ui/main_menu_sr_enabled=true
ui/main_menu_sr_text=Recordings
ui/main_menu_srmenu_enabled=true
ui/main_menu_srmenu_text=Recordings
ui/main_menu_tv_enabled=false

I get this screen:


I have 2 Recordings!

Selecting the first brings you to the normal recording screen, but I can't help but notice it says SageTV Recordings instead...


Selecting the second brings me to this interesting Schedule Recordings screen...notice the title though...and notice _another_ Recordings menu option at the top. It will bring you to the above screen.:


Here's my real Schedule Recordings menu:


Anyone know why? Something in my sage.properties file?

My lines are like this:

ui/main_menu_srmenu_enabled=false
ui/main_menu_tv_enabled=false

I'm guessing that this line: ui/main_menu_srmenu_text=Recordings (which I don't have)
might be something MlbDude is working on but isn't ready yet. Since he said he'll be away for a week and wouldn't be here to explain it, just change "ui/main_menu_srmenu_enabled" to false for now will give you just one "Recording" line on the main menu.

[KJake]

oh man I feel dumb now. I never noticed that there was a srmenu_enabled and a sr_enabled...doh!

[kny3twalker]

well I just right click on the main menu and enable them recording and future recording from there

I was going to download this skin and give it a wirl, but after reading all the issues, I may just wait. I'm also confused, WILL there be ONE (1) file that I can download and get all the fixes and the latest version?

I do not want to have to download and install several files to be up to date, not when they are being released this close together, also would like to have install and use instructions of the features. I found your web page, but now wonder what has changed from what I read.

Could there be a message put out when all bugs are fixed, and when there will be a single download and install page to copy and print?

This skin really adds to the functionality of SAGE!

[thatdude90210]

Here's a tip, keep a shortcut to the "OriginalV2" folder on the desktop. Installing or upgrading is usually nothing more than just dragging and dropping a file or two into that folder.

[Mr_X]

MlbDude - nice work! Thanks for all your effort.

I noticed one thing that may be a bug. The "Upcoming Recordings" minibrowser will list shows that have been marked to not record (i.e. "Watched" or "Do not like", or "Do not record")

Also, any chance of fixing up the default Sage "Upcoming Recordings" screen to remove all the blank space???

the problem are only in the scheduled recording section when you goto serach and favorites
if you already have your favorites setup and do not serach every night for programs in the serach then you are ok
and it is still usable just not pretty very beta and alot of ghosting
everything works fine
if you want to use it
you download the original release then the update
the original release has added pictures and the update just replaces the old STV file
so you can install whenever without needing them all

also download this as well
http://download.sage.tv/STVUpdates/OriginalV2.stv

it updates the frey's STV file

This is sweet, dude! I totally admire the work you are doing making the interface more attractive and intuitive!

I noticed that some of the screen backgrounds are still in the deep blue rather than the ocean green. Are these still in progress?

Also, what is the best pixel dimensions for the channel logos so that they are re-sized proportionally?

Thank you for your time and effort on these customizations. They are greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Rob

also the blue backgrounds are mistakes
mlbdude should be back soon and hopefully can get out a fix fast

[ldavis]

mlbdude,

Thanks for the great work on studio. One question that I have is could wildcards be used in the naming of folder images for the video library. So instead of "folder.jpg" could we be able to use "*.jpg". I have a large number of video files and renaming these would be a problem.

Thanks so much for the reply and URL. Greatly appreciated!

[mlbdude]

Well, I am back. Thanks for all the great testing everyone. I have posted an uptade (1.5) to fix the bugs posted here. Hopefully I did not miss anything.

kny3twalker,
I notice the black bars when using Overlay as well with the Preview window. This is something Sage or the decoder is doing and I don't have direct access too. I may detect if Overlay is being used and try to compensate but not sure if I want to go that far.

any chance of a hdd capacity indicator like malore has?

Probably not. I let Sage handle my recording space so it is always at just a couple of GB free. I will keep it on the list though.

KJake,
That menu you stumbled on is something I am working on. It is an effort to redo the "flow" of the menu structure and limit the number of menu items on each screen. Not sure where I am going with it yet.

Also, any chance of fixing up the default Sage "Upcoming Recordings" screen to remove all the blank space???

Have you tried the Interleaved version of this menu?

[Mr_X]

Have you tried the Interleaved version of this menu?

DOH!!!

Ignore my comment about the upcoming recordings mini-browser. My newness is showing. Sorry!
