Sage Media Server driver (beta)

[Dean Roddey]

BTW, I am supposed to be sending the command to the player driver, right? I.e. the Command field and the PowerOn and PowerOff commands? Or am I supposed to be sending something to the server driver?

Keep in mind that these boxes take very little power. I leave mine on all the time so I don't have to worry about power status (since power has never really worked with the HD100).

While I would certainly like the power button to work, it isn't the end of the world if it doesn't. Just leave the box on.

Yes the command gets sent to the Player driver. Alternatively, you could try to send the appropriate command among:

XTC:killall miniclient
XTC:killall sagewait
XTC:killall waitpower
XTC:reboot

Is this the latest version of the SagePlayer driver (which is what I'd use for extenders)? I can't seem to change the port, its greyed out at 9100.

yup that's the one I am using... of course, I got mine setup before the "can't change the port" issue started...
you may want to use this one instead:

supposedly it fixes the port issue... and congratulations, you get to be the Guinea pig test subject to see it it really works...

Alrighty then.

As requested, player should now allow for change in port.

Updated to version 2.9 for Sage Player driver.

Confirming that this works, finally have my control back.

Glad to hear.

Hey folks. I'm having a problem with Sage and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction for troubleshooting. When I try to play a movie from CQC through my extender, it does not play. The screen changes as soon as I send the play command like its about to play, but then nothing happens. If I press stop, it goes back to the Sage menu. I can play the videos directly through the Sage extender. I'm using MyMovies as my repository and it is pointing to the correct location. Any idea where I can start looking to see where things are breaking down? I've attached a log dump of the SagePlayer and SageServer drivers in verbose.

Thanks,

Does Sage require an actual file or can it play a directory? By default MM only stores a directory and that's what being passed. If Sage needs to be told what to actually play, that won't work. Someone who knows better may later say it doesn't require it. But in the meantime, update one of the movies in MM to point to the actual file (.IFO or whatever), and save it and reload the MM repo driver and try to play that one and see what happens. If it works, then problem solves. Else, wait for the better answer from somehow who knows.

As of 4.5.5, some changes were made to the networking stuff. The shipped versions has been corrected (and it is the latest version AFAIK.) So if you are using any non-shipped version, you'll want to remove it and use the shipped versions once you move to 4.5.5 and beyond.
