FANatic Monitor

Information
After failing in setting up the "My SpeedFan" plugin, which seems to have died in 2007 I decided a new system monitoring plugin for MediaPortal has to be developed.
With the working title "Speedphan" FANatic Monitor is the first MediaPortal plugin I've made and the first time I (was forced to) use C# - in the meantime I'm a Python developer.
Description
FANatic Monitor is a plugin which wraps up the information gathered from logfiles of the most famous Fan/Temperature/Voltage monitoring tool "SpeedFan" by Alfredo Milani Comparetti into a neat, lightweight MP plugin.
Compared to "My SpeedFan" this tool requires only a very short and easy to do setup and has a way clearer and more flexible output.

Downloads
Dependencies
- MediaPortal 0.2.3.0 or later
- SpeedFan (at least a version with Log support)
Installation
- install SpeedFan (SpeedFan - Access temperature sensor in your computer - download the newest beta build if you want to have correct temperature readings on multi core systems for CoreX)
- enable logging in the configuration of SpeedFan
- check the "Logging" box of every sensor you want to have displayed in FANatic Monitor
- use MPInstaller to install the MPI package, or extract the ZIP package to your MediaPortal folder (source included)
- run FANatics setup
- if your SpeedFan folder was not automatically detected by FANatic, please specify it
- for every sensor in SpeedFan's config having "Logged" set to true please specify the type of the sensor in the "Sensors" part of the setup - this will define the unit of a sensor-reading's value (°F or °C for a temperature, rpm for a fan speed, V for a Voltage)
- run MediaPortal
Roadmap
0.0.0.2
- perhaps a neater look, some custom icons
- configurable sensor reading threshold
- threshold alarm on threshold reach
- you tell me
Issues
- fanatic.xml config file's layout is pretty ineffective; I was too lazy to improve the MPXMLConfig class stolen from My Speedfan; perhaps will redo it in some upcoming version
Version history
0.0.0.1b:
- sensor hover didn't work
- invalid installer MPI for custom skins now fixed
- initial release
