In the Landing Zone the 'All TV Shows' menu item is hidden by default. Goto 'Edit Landing Zone' to change it.

Thx...BMT did the trick!

Yay, my PlayOn server just suddenly showed up!

I updated via plugin manager, but I don't see a Phoenix2.xml to change to? Am I doing something wrong?

Just to clarify... you see SageTV7.xml and Phoenix.xml but not Phoenix2.xml?

[zeit0dn1]

I see the SageTV7.xml but neither of the Phoenix xml files. (in the C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\SageTV7 directory)

I can find the Phoenix.xml file if I navigate to C:\Program Files\SageTV\SageTV\STVs\Phoenix\Configuration, but there is no Phoenix2.xml

I am trying to change it in the "detailed setup->Advanced->Set Full UI" setting.

I also did a filesystem search for my sageTV directory and Phoenix2.xml does not exist on the filesystem.

UNinstall and then re-install the Phoenix UI plugin. Until you see the Phoenix2.xml in the same directory as the SageTV7.xml file, it means that either the Phoenix UI plugin is not installed, or the plugin didn't extract correctly.

Are you installing P2 from the plugin repository or upgrading the original Phoenix UI...as you need to install P2 specifically as they can coexist.

[Naylia]

A little promotional material on MR.com for folks who don't make it to the forums often.

Thanks for the write up!

Ahh, OK I installed P2 specifically and now have the Phoenix2.xml.

I chose it in the setup menu and the entire interface locked up. I restarted the HD300 and still locked up with a corrupt looking interface. I looked at the SageTV directory and found a SageClient.properties.autobackup with the right timestamp and replaced the SageClient.properties (with the service stopped). I started the HD300 back up and now it works and I am able to navigate, choose settings/customizations and view TV, etc.

I kept the bad SageClient.properties if anyone wants to look at it.

Thanks for the help.

Is there a way to alter the font size? I don't see anything in the options.

[bialio]

There isn't a way to change the font. P1 also has always been a bit difficult to use on smaller screens.

For me I never read the small text so it doesn't bother me. I know what the movie's I have in my collection are about, I don't need any hints

[Naylia]

It's not even just reading the detailed info, but even the name of each TV Show or Movie is a little on the small side at enough of a distance (namely lying in bed on the other side of the room). This is less important with areas that have good banner fan art, but when in a UPnP view it's just a wall of lil text. It's still legible, but a wee bit fuzzy and that's with my 20/15 laser surgery vision.

[bialio]

File an issue if you want to - I think having a 'large font' mode might be reasonably easy.

btl.

[Naylia]

Submitting ERs! This is like going into work

[Naylia]

Issue 173 Submitted - However, it's incorrectly flagged as a Defect which it certainly is not.

[sflamm]

I currently have P1 2.3.409 installed (phoenix-core 2.3.47) - and have read that P2 can co-exist.

I have the following questions:

1. Will P2 run if I remove P1? (or is P1 required)
2. If I run P2 with P1 do I need to update P1? (in other words do I need to update the underlying jars like phoenix-core to use P2)


Thanks in advance.

[bialio]

P1 and P2 are packaged together - So if you update phoenix UI from the plugin manager you will get both of them. To install P2 you just need to select Phoenix2.xml as your STV.

btl.

[sflamm]

Ok - which means it will all be updated together.

That leads me to the question... what happens if I run the latest P1/P2 on one of my SageTV software clients (to experiment) and the SageTV server is running an earlier version of P1? (is there any dependency)
