Sagetv hangs when trying to use Utility Import

[wayner]

I think I posted about this before. I am using SageTV Client V9 and trying to import a settings file from the server. But after I select a file to import it hangs at saying "Loading..." There is no issue using this settings file on my extenders or on the server.

Here is what shows up in my Sagetvclient_0 file:

I think there were some changes in how server side files are accessed by clients, that may have affected this (it was not an API call that was used much). In any case, it seems the client is unable to fetch the settings file from the server. In the meantime, you can likely copy your exported settings file from the server to the client, and have gemstone import it with Import Settings (Local).

It's very likely this is fixed in Gemstone2. If I had to guess, this issue would be from the different in path separators between the client and server, and it inadvertently 'fixing' them the wrong way.

Can you open an issue on G2 github site...see my signature.. Then i wont forget to review this and fix if needed.

G2 has changed under the hood a lot so the import and export likely need reworking too.

Manually transferring the file from the server to the client and then importing did the trick.

One other thing that I have noticed in the past is that you sometimes need to reload the UI to get the new menus to be reflected after importing. You might want to force a UI restart. I have manually done this by restarting the client or extender.

I will post the issue in Github.
