There is a plugin that does most of that, https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/plugin-imap-pop3-email-manager-72872/

Thanks for the link, I just thought the basic functionality of unread email notification +/- # unreads would be nice to be integrated into infoservice as the plugin is bundled with streamedmp and other applications. also i wouldnt want to read emails on my htpc. thanks

Hi all,

Not sure if this is possible without something changing in MP-TVSeries, but it would be cool if as well as "recently added" episodes you could choose "recently aired" episodes to be displayed via InfoService. Or if you could choose an MP-TVSeries DB view to base the list on; for example, I have a custom view that shows recently aired but unwatched episodes only.

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Some RSS feeds contain tags or other information that would be nice if those could be 'filtered' out. Regular Expression support to create multiple noise filters would therefore be a very nice enhancement to InfoService.

On an example feed such as: Inside Movies

I could then create the following RegExp filters:

• Filed\sunder:\s.+?\r*$
• Continue\sreading\s.+?\r$
• Permalink\s\|\sEmail\sthis\s\|\s\|\sComments

Which results in a much nicer readable output, because as it is, the ouput is as follows:

Filed under: Movie NewsYou can't keep a great comedian down: After 28 years, the life of John Belushi is being resurrected for the big screen.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, 'The Hangover' director-producer Todd Phillips and 'The Pursuit of Happyness' screenwriter Steven Conrad are developing a biopic about the late comedian's life, the rights to which Warner Bros. recently acquired from Belushi's estate. Phillips will produce (but has not committed to directing) and Conrad will draft the screenplay.Continue reading 'Hangover's' Todd Phillips Developing John Belushi Biopic Permalink | Email this | | Comments​

But with the noise filter support, it would become:

Now I know RegExp is not for everybody, but an expression request thread, alike how it's done for MP-TVSeries plugin, can just be added to the forum with perhaps a few generic filters included by default.

Thank you.

Seems like a nice thing to add RoChess. What do you think default generic filtes should be?

I have few ideas, perhaps, clearing multiple new lines and multiple spaces, trimming spaces (beginning and end), removing links(?), ...

Seems like a nice thing to add RoChess. What do you think default generic filtes should be?

If you provide me with enough sample data of how InfoService displays it now and what the desired result is, then I can create a common 'noise filter' for those, that can then be used as default. I only use 2 feed providers myself, so I would not be able to generate enough sample data to make a "works for all" filter.

I've helped on the default noise filter for MovingPictures and the default filename RegularExpression on MP-TVSeries, so I don't mind lending a helping hand for a few filters on InfoService, but then I need to get as much 'raw' -> 'desired' sample data as possible from feeds that are deemed popular by your users.

PS: Easiest would be to supply the parts that need to be removed such as:

"Filed under: *****"
"Continue reading *****"
"Permalink | Email this | | Comments"

Where a user took the time to find out the 'fixed' values they want removed, that never change between different feed items. That will save me a lot of time then.

Also the Regelar Expressions will work best to filter if not everything has been stripped away already. For example if all the [CR]s and [LF]s are removed, it will be extremly difficult (not impossible of course) to create powerful expressions.

I'm on a feature roll

For the ticker mask, please add support for %itemnumber% or however you want to call it, that indicates the numbered position inside the feed of the item. That way a ticker result can be generated that looks like:

"%itemnumber%: %itemtitle%", which will look like:

"1: Feed item number one +++ 2: Feed item number two +++ 3: Feed item number three......."

Would it be possible to add a "latest albums" (added to the music database) so that it would show up on the Basic Home, just like MP TV-Series?

RoChess, your suggestions + few others + many bug fixes and improvements are now in InfoService SVN, waiting for next version

Hi all,

Not sure if this is possible without something changing in MP-TVSeries, but it would be cool if as well as "recently added" episodes you could choose "recently aired" episodes to be displayed via InfoService. Or if you could choose an MP-TVSeries DB view to base the list on; for example, I have a custom view that shows recently aired but unwatched episodes only.

It should be possible to do (recently aired, recently watched + watched filter). However probably not so soon because it will take some time.

Would it be possible to add a "latest albums" (added to the music database) so that it would show up on the Basic Home, just like MP TV-Series?

Emph

Again, it should be possible to do by reading MediaPortal's MusicDB.


Will think about implementing both suggestions, thanks for the ideas!

I also use MP with my 13.3" laptop while getting back home from work on the bus. And I sometimes need to be able to see the remaining battery percentage (and duration left if possible). If these properties would be added to InfoService, skin makers (at least Tgx - BlackGlass/Nova) could show these properties - if they are available (which is for laptop users running on battery) - on Home Screen, video OSD etc...

in advance...

I think this is better suited for HTPCInfo plugin, if it doesn't already support it?

HTPCInfo is really heavy & cumbersome for my taste. It also occurred to me that HTPCInfo might be better place for this, but everyone has their reasons I'm aware that not every feature request here would see the light of day.

Any hope for this??? I really would like to see Battery percentage on home & OSD screens.
