This plugin provides a global NotificationBar.

The idea
The idea is to give the same kind of notifications as we know it from Smartphones.
That gives you some opportunities fore example:
- Start update all your plugins in the background and get at notification when its done (or with a progress bar)
- Get a notification when your favorite show starts
- Get a warning if MP can't connect to the TV-server
- etc
Note! - These thing mentioned above is not a part of this plugin, but its a can be if the developers of above decide to implement the NotificationBar functionality.

    Great idea...

    Some thoughts/questions:
    • How about multiple notifications? Either multiple lines, or some way to switch between notifications?
    • The user should have a way to "dismiss" the notifications like in android
    • How can a plugin add a notification (Inklude a dll, use a MP message,...)
    • Different types of notifications would be nice (progress vs. info)

    :D

    [*]How about multiple notifications? Either multiple lines, or some way to switch between notifications?
    [*]The user should have a way to "dismiss" the notifications like in android

    - This is the first version, so the user can not himself dismiss a notification. This lays in the hand of the plugin/developer.
    - In case of multiple notifications, it will switch between them every 6 seconds

    [*]How can a plugin add a notification (Inklude a dll, use a MP message,...)

    - You have to reference the DLL and just add the notification (using the iNotification interface)

    [*]Different types of notifications would be nice (progress vs. info)

    - Information and Warning are supported. (any other ideas?)
    - Progressbar can be set independent the type

    Fantastic idea GetWell, looking forward to see something like this in MediaPortal for such a long time!!!

    I hope that this project won't die and that many developers will be interested in implementing notifications for their plugins (TVSeries, Moving Pictures,...)

    Many thanks for all your work and please, keep the thread up to date ;)

    Best regards,

    Aitor

    bodiroga - I'm glad you likes it!

    The first version is already uploaded and waiting for approval.

    Now I have to contact developers and skinners :)

    Great idea.
    Maybe it can operate thru delegates?
    As I know MP-TVSeries provides some of them.
