As far as I know, mythtv has never had a version 2.3.0, so I don't know
where you are getting that. I would expect you to be running 0.28, 0.29 or
30.
The Steppes theme itself did have a version 2.3, but that is very old. The
latest version for the 'master' branch of mythtv is 2.46. For version 30
of MythTV, the latest version of Steppes is 30.2.
Can you please verify which version of mythtv you are using, and the
version of the Steppes theme? Also, can you tell me what "view" mode you
are using for the screenshot? List, Browse, Gallery, Manage?

Ah, you are in Mange mode. I can reproduce the problem. I will see about fixing it. |
|
Steppes v30.3 should show up tomorrow and look better with this view. Let me know if it takes care of your concern. |
|
Thanks jpoet. Also, i didn't have my glasses on - I ran dpkg-query -l "myth" and misread 2:30.0 as 2.3.0 🥇 Looking forward to the fix, and will advise when tested. |
|
Checking in on this - I'm still seeing Steppes v30.1 as the latest version. No rush, just want to make sure I'm not missing something. |
Sorry, I just noticed this. I pushed the change a couple of weeks ago. Have you tried telling mythfrontend to refresh the available themes? |
Yep, did that and also upgraded Myth to current version, still not showing up. |
|
At this point, your best bet may be to ask on the mythtv-users list or using IRC: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/IRC . I believe others have had similar issues getting the themes to update, but I don't remember the details. You will probably need to run mythfrontend with an appropriate log level (e.g. --verbose gui:DEBUG, or something like that), so we can find why it is failing. I would need to dig through the source-code, though, to figure out what log filter was needed. I am hoping someone on the users list that went though this can remember the debugging steps. |
|
ok will do - thanks. would another option be to download the changed files and replace them on my frontend? |
|
Yes, you could do that. Just clone this repository into ~/.mythtv/themes and that should do it. |
|
ha ha I don't think I'm quite that adventurous yet!! Will clone the repo and let you know how I go. |
|
It turns out there was a glitch on the MythTV theme server causing this issue. I believe it should be fixed now. |
|
Oh ok, I'll give it a shot in a day or so, thanks for letting me know. |
|
Got it!! Theme looks great, thanks. |
|
Theme looks great - only thing I noticed is the SxxExx is now not displaying, and the episode summary shows the generic show description. What's interesting is on eps where I've previously retrieved info, the ep description is correct (i.e. shows the description for that specific ep), but all new fetches display the generic description. As a test, I reset the details from an ep which had the correct info, and when I re-retrieved info, it displayed the generic info. Also, the ep title has been replaced by the filename when I retrieve info. Old eps (i.e. with info retreived when using prior theme) still have the correct ep description. Here are a couple of screenshots. The Deuce is an "old" ep, Elementary is "new"
|

Unlikely I can do anything about the "generic" description. That is not something a theme has control over. I am guessing that would be an issue with your metadata "grabber". I will look at adding the season/episode to the Mange view. Out of curiosity, why do you like the Mange view over the List or Browse views? |
|
Yeah I thought the "generic" description wouldn't be theme related. I forgot I did a myth upgrade, so I'll check the grabber script. I like Manage because I've got my stuff organised into 3 main root folders - TV, Movies and Misc (e.g. crap I've grabbed from youtube, standup comedy specials, etc). The TV shows are then organised in folders by show, season etc. From memory, the Manage view allowed me the fastest was to browse through my unwatched shows/movies/crap to see what I feel like watching. |
|
You may want to look at the Hide/Show Directory Structure option. I believe that Myth remembers that setting interdependently for each of the views. I am guessing you have it turned on for the Manage view, but not the others. |
|
OK thanks, I'll give the other views a show with the show dir turned on. I didn't realise there were independant settings for each view. |
|
Gave the other views a shot - had to enable Show Directory as well as Show Filesystem. Browse came closest to what I'm used to with the Manage view, and the SxxExx was working, so that was a plus :) |
I'm running myth 2.3.0 on Ubuntu 19.04, and the steppes theme (which i love) is not displaying the year or the tv/movie info.
Happy to provide any additional info as required. Any help appreciated.
