20.7.4.RC30 has arrived......

Advertisements

I have RC30 on my Roamio and some shows that normally do, aren’t getting skip date either. Namely Gotham and Arrow. The Late Show is also hit or miss with regards to skip data.

On a side note, some shows do have skip data, but no skip icon. That’s not a new bug though.

And like others, there’s no show images anymore. There’s no just a generic image with text. This was definitely working yesterday.

Oddly I never ran into any of the bugs RC30 was supposed to fix. The only one I see now and then is the fail to pad bug which has been around for years now.

 

In addition to the missing thumbnails in My Shows, I’m also not seeing any logos for Netflix, Amazon, Xfinity, etc.

For example this should show the “Prime Membership” logo:

 

Yep, same with my XL4 and mini's A92 & A93. Those are still on RC18 too.

It seems it's only on the Roamio. When viewed from another TiVo my artwork shows up. When viewing another TiVo from the Roamio no artwork for the other platforms. Even under devices there's no artwork showing the other TiVo's.

Only artwork is the popcorn bucket for what to watch now.

 

I guess I am just the lucky one this time - both of my Bolts are running RC30, and I noticed absolutely no changes of any kind after they updated. Everything working the same as it was, all logos there, etc. etc.

That doesn't seem to be related to RC30 (at least on ours) as it happened before we got RC30.

On certain Comcast 720p converted channels (mpeg4) I'm still seeing the same 2-5 second playback freeze after trickplay. The channels that were originally 720p that were converted to mpeg4 seem to be working better, but not the ones that were down-rezzed from 1080i. Try Golf Channel, frex.

The picture freeze issue still exists on the Roamio at least, on Comcast, ever since 20.7.4 came out.

 

Is yours only on FF1 or also FF2 and FF3?

I guess I don't totally understand the new designations for Amazon video. I was doing a search for 'Lady Bird' and it came up for 'Prime Video' so I thought - cool. I followed the link but it was not available for Prime, rather a purchase/rent option.

It's not the amount (as it was like $2.99 or something like that), but it was odd as there used to be separate designations for Amazon rent/buy and Amazon Prime. It said Prime so, stupid me, I assumed it was available for Prime members. You don't get to know what the deal is until you click through to Amazon. No likey.

 

Perhaps you missed my post? -> 20.7.4.RC30 has arrived......

Stupid names, but the Search functionality is still there.

 

Yeah, I sure did. Thanks, Joe.

I don't know why they need to confuse stuff. Good grief. I'm getting older and, unfortunately, getting really stupid as I do so I just don't need more stuff to confuse me.

 

What exactly is new with "Sports Pass" with this update?

 

I believe it is some underlying support for recording all playoff and tournament games vs. regular season.

 

For those of you with missing icons on Roamio, I'd like to check in and see if the problem resolved itself? It's possible that logos were reloaded during a nightly update and may have fixed the issue. Can anyone confirm?

Also, I'm trying to understand the exact problems that have appeared. I believe I'm hearing the following:
- Missing App icons (Netflix, Amazon, etc.) next to the app menu items
- Missing network logos (FOX, ESPN, etc.) in program details when shown on My Shows or Find By Channel screens

Additionally, are there missing thumbnails which used to show images from a program and now only show a generic thumbnail?

 

Oh man, I hope this solves the issue of having to reboot the TA and Bolt several times over to get the Bolt to finally recognize the TA agan. Last time I had the issue, took me 4 reboots of the TA/Bolt to get the Bolt to finally see the TA again.

Since my Cisco TA has it's own issue every few weeks or so, requiring rebooting, this is welcome(if it fixes it).

 

I just checked my Roamio and the artwork is still missing.

The main thing missing are the show specific thumbnails. That's the thumbnails across the top in My Shows and when you drill down into a specific show that's been recorded.

However, I'm starting to develop an appreciation for the default/generic thumbnails that are different for different types of shows. Suspense. Childs programming. Legal. ....

I'm not sure about the network logos. When watching live TV and I press the info button, I do see the logo. But when I look at recorded programming I'm not seeing it, but I'm not sure what I should be looking for, so please don't go by me on that part.

I am also not seeing any app artwork on the TiVo Central screen, but I don't use that very much so I'm also not sure what it should look like. I think I do remember that there used to be icons next to Prime Video and YouTube ..... Those are missing now.

Also, if you drill down into explore show (from a recording) and look at Cast. All the tiles show up for the actors with names, but no pictures.

 

I can confirm on my Roamio Plus I’m missing thumbnails for recorded shows or those displayed in TiVo Central, i.e. I just see generic thumbnails. Also missing icons for all streaming apps as you noted. And channel logos are missing next to recorded shows or when searching as you noted above but are present in the guides. Couple of snaps attached. Just rebooted and still all missing.

 

The thumbnails up top with the classic UI are in what's called the Discovery Bar. Under Settings, User Preferences, Customize Discovery Bar you can select what is supposed to display. I set mine to "My Shows". However if My Shows is empty, or you do a Search, the thumbnails may change. Sometimes it seems random. Trivia over.

 

Thanks guys. We're continuing to investigate. I hope to have a fix today.

 

Same results here...missing program icons and the app icons aren't there. But, I did notice the network icons in the active tuner section grew supersized (3 out of the 4 big networks seemed to grow)! At least I can see which tuner to switch to from across the room without my glasses on!
