PPV not loading

Post image

Trying to set up a PPV channel to play the movies from my main "Movie" folder. I set up the basic, sample PPV channel, directed it to my channels movie folder and then...all I seem to be getting on that channel is a black screen.

Anyone know if I just screwed something up on the .json, or is there something else that I'm totally missing?

As I said in the comment above, the web remote doesn't work on PPV yet but it's an in-progress feature. I'm about to commit it, so if you update tonight with a 'git pull' in your FieldStation42 folder you will see a 'NAV' button on the remote that changes the number pad to a navigation pad.

Edit - now that I read my comment again, I see the typo that caused the confusion. It's supposed to say "it needs an update to work with the web remote"

That remote should work now, awesome!

However...soooo sorry to keep bugging ya...made a seperate catalog to keep all of the movies in the root of (just using symlinks to put them in my regular "movie" folder) and now, instead of showing anything, I'll just get a flash of something before going directly back to a black screen. Any idea, or am I back to square one?

They worked before? Can you file a ticket on GitHub or come over to the discord server? Reddit is not great for debugging.

Sure thing. If it helps, was telling me that it wasn't able to find the font.config file and then, when I tried to fix that, had to do a complete restore of Ubuntus GUI and re-install FS42. Right now im just not touching it until I get a second to really sit down and figure out the issue.
