From the errors I think it has to do with setting the virtual devices for whats on.
If you have an event set with an action of "Set the Whats On virtual devices" but there are no channels selected.

Check your hstv events and either set the "Set Device Strings" event to inactive or go to admin/ data/ channels page and select a device code for at least one channel.

If that doesn't fix the error, let me know if the error is happening at a recurring interval or if it's when you go to a particular page.

Any update on the upgrade including the guide? You may have posted it but I'm not sure where to look.

Sorry, I forgot to post it last week. I'll try to post it this evening.

[jayman13]

Cool. Thanks.

Thanks. It looks good on my computer but on my iphone it gets scaled down. Anyway to fix this?

Sorry, I answered my own question by adding zoom: 250% in the hstvbody css...

One other thing though. I've run into another snag. I have two TV's that sometimes can be on both at the same time. One is usually me watching monday night football and the other is my wife watching lifetime or some such. How do I deal with both of use using the guide at the same time? That is, if she presses the channel for lifetime how can I program it so it launches the event to change the channel on her TV only and not mine? Would there be a way to have two different web pages? One to launch a script and another to launch another script based on channel pressing? Also, could we create our own pages? Say for instance a sports page. Kind of arrange all of the sports channels on one web page, that kind of thing? Thanks though, this is really cool.

I could modify the call to the script to send in both the channel number and the HS user name. From that you could modify the Select area to run a different event based on the user name. You can nest Select statements.

That would also work for setting up the different pages. Create a user called Sports and then in the hstv setup for that user, select the sports channels you want to show.

Here is an exaple of a nested select statement.
The first select is capped to show which of the case lines go with which select.

 SELECT CASE userName
  CASE "jayman13,sports,movies"
   Select Case sChanNum
    Case "DIY"
     do_something
    Case "ESPN"
     do_something
   End Select
  CASE "AnotherUserName.chickFlix"
   Select Case sChanNUm
    Case "DIY"
     do_something_different
   End Select
 END SELECT 

If you think that would work for you I will add the user name this weekend.

Yeah, that should work, thanks! One other thing though. It looks like the page gets cut-off. I have all the channels on there up to channel 254 but none after on the page despite the plugin having active channels beyond this, like channels 278 - 400 something. Is the page finite or is it supposed to include all the channels? Is there a way to include all the channels on one page?

Where are those glassy buttons coming from? I don't see them in the zip install. And the reference in the style sheet... I don't have that in my HS directory either.

Where are those glassy buttons coming from? I don't see them in the zip install. And the reference in the style sheet... I don't have that in my HS directory either.

Put this in your style sheet if it isn't there already:

.hstvtablerowodd {
background: url('/images/HSTV/touchRowOdd.gif') no-repeat;
width:380px;
height:115px;
}
.hstvtablerowodddiv {
margin-left: 10px;
}
.hstvtableroweven {
background: url('/images/HSTV/touchRowOdd.gif');
width:380px;
height:115px;
}
.hstvtablerowevendiv {
margin-left: 5px;
}
.hstvbody {
background-image : url('/Images/HSTV/android-intrigue-800.jpg');
background-repeat : repeat-y;
}

I then made some modifications by playing with it. For instance you can change the background image to whatever you want or the images of the background under .hstvtableroweven or .hstvtablerowodd. Just make sure you put those images that you want in the images/hstv folder and that you change the css above appropriately. All I did was take a couple of images of buttons from the hstouch folder and modified them in paint to the dimensions I wanted them and then put them in the images/hstv folder. Also, under .hstvobdy I put zoom: 230%; which looks right on an iphone running hstouch.

Thanks... I'm getting it. I need to find a button that has the correct dimensions though.

Your button doesn't have to be a particular dimension.
You can modify the style sheet to make a button the right size.
In the style sheet change the hieght and width to get the background images to the correct size.

background: url('/images/HSTV/touchRowOdd.gif') no-repeat;
width:380px;
height:115px;
