Drive Free Space Plugin (1 Viewer)

[daniel_1980]

Hi,

thanks a lot to rambo!

This code did it for me:

<control>
<description>Drive space</description>
<type>label</type>
<textalign>center</textalign>
<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
<id>37483</id>
<posX>147</posX>
<posY>680</posY>
<width>160</width>
<height>300</height>
<font>font12</font>
<label>#Drives(T).AvailableSpace.Data</label>
<visible>yes</visible>
</control>



Perhaps it might be helpful for somebody to add that the code must be inserted above the lines

</controls>
</window>


Next question:
Is it possible to do some math with the free space values, like calculating the available time for recordings, when assuming a typical bitrate?
E.g. typical bitrate 4kiBit/s, available space 12,3GiB => available time 25190s = 6h 59min => 6:59h is displayed

Sure it is possible but ofcourse not thru the skinengine since that's all about presentation, not calculation.
So you'd have to write a (process) plugin

Hi.
I changed my code in mytvguide.xml again, because there was a collision with the tv-preview. Now it's better ...

<control>
<description>Drive space</description>
<type>label</type>
<textalign>center</textalign>
<textcolor>ffffffff</textcolor>
<id>37483</id>
<posX>35</posX>
<posY>520</posY>
<width>160</width>
<height>300</height>
<font>font9</font>
<label>#Drives(V).AvailableSpace.Data</label>
<visible>yes</visible>
</control>

<control>
<description>Progress Bar</description>
<type>progress</type>
<id>20</id>
<posX>130</posX>
<posY>520</posY>
<width>200</width>
<height>30</height>
<label>#Drives(V).AvailableSpace.UsedPercentage</label>
<texturebg>progress_background_tvhome.png</texturebg>
<lefttexture>progress_blank30.png</lefttexture>
<midtexture>progress_mid_white30.png</midtexture>
<righttexture>progress_blank30.png</righttexture>
<visible>yes</visible>
</control>

Hope this helps anway ...

Hi quake2rambo,

thanks a lot for your code - that saved a lot of time for testing for me!

Bye

progress bar images

Hi guys, let me first say that this is a WONDERFUL plug in: THANK YOU SilentExcept!!!
I'm using Blue3 as skin and the text is ok but now I'm trying to add the progress bars.
I have these files:

osd_progress_background.png
osd_progress_indicator.png
osd_progress_left.png
osd_progress_mid.png
osd_progress_mid_orange.png
osd_progress_mid_red.png
osd_progress_right.png
progress_back.png
progress_bg.png
progress_mid.png​

I don't have a clue how to integrate this into the xml file to display 1 bar with 2 different colors (used/free).
Am I right that I have to change the height/width anyway?
This is what I have now:

  <posX>320</posX>
  <posY>55</posY>
  <width>100</width>
  <height>20</height>
  <label>#Drives(D).AvailableSpace.Data</label>
  <texturebg>progress_bg.png</texturebg>
  <lefttexture>progress_blank30.png</lefttexture>
  <midtexture>progress_mid.png</midtexture>
  <righttexture>progress_blank30.png</righttexture>

A helping hand is very much appreciated.

Hi,
height/width means how thick/long the displayed status is.
and
<posX>320</posX>
<posY>55</posY>
means the position (counted in pixel). The count begins in the upper left corner of your display.
That's all ...

 

[Peter2]

Hi quake2rambo, thank you for your reply.
I had already figured out the positioning but what about which files to use to really get a progress bar, being 1 bar with different colors.
From what I can make out of it, there is only 1 bar defined, what about the other one & which image files should I use?

 

[quake2rambo]

I think there it is not possible to get a warning by color changes. You can define the background and the progress via image files with ONE color. And what color you want to use, it is on you.

 

[SilentException]

there are lefttexture, midtexture and righttexture tags in the progress control. maybe you can do something with that Peter2?

edit: oh nevermind.. i just saw you did that.. there is no way to show it the way you'd like..

maybe you can do some red->green gradient for progress bar?

 

[Peter2]

Guys, I don't get it.
If you look at this users screenshot: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-47/drive-free-space-plugin-54798/index3.html#post378860 you see he has a progress bar with a 'transparent frame' of a white line (resembles osd_progress_background.png) and a blue bar 'in/on top of' it.
The blue bar seems to be in proportion to the frame (background) just like the numbers (used<->total disk space) above the bar.

How can I get something like that?

TIA
