Disk Space-o-meter

shred444 · 2006-11-15, 14:45

Another feature,
Possibly a disk space meter that will let you know how much recording time is left when you press record on a program. Maybe this bar can be filled with another color to reflect how much space this recording may take up.

I've got plenty of disk space, but im always worried that im going to record just a little too much.

Seen the plugin TV Diskspace?

Rhys.Goodwin · 2007-01-06, 07:24

I see the plug-in "TV Diskspace" under process plugins and it's enabled. How do I bring up a display showing how much diskspace is left? Or is that not what this plug-in is for?

I believe TV Diskspace is used by MP internally to check if you have enough space and deleting recordings that you have watched if needed.

There is a plugin called MPinfo that will show you how much space is left and also an estimation in hours based on your recording profile.
I'm sure it still in the plugins download section but if not I'll mail it to you.

use Mainboard Monitor icm with the plugin: My status that gives you HDD space left and other PC info

My Status plugin is good if you need more info from your system but it requires Motherboard Monitor to run which is no longer developed(I Think).

Here is the MP Info plugin attached.

Can you tell me how can I install this plugin? I put the dll into the C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal.svn\plugins\windows\MPinfo .dll
and xml into the C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal.svn\Skin\BlueTwo\
Mp was restarted but I dont see this plugin.

Sorry I can find it under My Plugins.

It works but I dont understand where does mpinfo take the hours from? I think it needs the avarage mpeg2 Mb/sec parameters but it is hardcoded in the plugin. Am I right?
