Hey,

I like these kind of plugins like this one. I would more like mytorrents with a bit more compact design.
Please look at my sketch idea of main screen and tell me if it could be developed or not.

Thanks, vrm.

Hello,

vl002001
You're welcome. If anyone else could confirm it too, that everything works i will edit the blue3 skinfiles and upload it to the [URL="http://code.google.com/p/mp-mytorrents/]MyTorrents HomePage[/URL] as a new package.

vrm
Definitely looks very interesting your skin design. I think it would be possible, just a few questions

• What will be displayed in this sidepanel if you select something else than active torrents or torrents in general
• Those labels at the bottom of the page, should be continuously updated, shouldn't they?
• The "Status" thing at the bottom, is it a label or a button? If it is a button what will it do?
• Will every information be displayed in this "main" screen or did you have subscreens for some in mind?

In general, what do other users of this plugin think about vrms' idea? Which one do you prefer, the one in place right now or the idea of vrm? Please post your opinion.

Furthermore i am still very open to suggestions and feature requests. Also bug reports are welcome, if they are not to severe

not sure i like vrm's either, but something definitely needs to be done with the skinning eventually. it's very functional but it's pretty ugly

how about keeping vrm's top row
but removing the left pane and instead show the complete list of torrents, but with a header for each label in a bigger, bold font? so you can see everything at once but still know which shows are under which labels?

and how about having little logos beside the buttons, like a rss logo and status bars so you can quickly tell the progress of a torrent. the htpcinfo plugin has a really nice layout for streamedmp that you might want to copy.

anyway, none of this stuff is too important, just some suggestions. i'm fine with the way it is now actually.

Yeah, it's good to hear that you find my idea interesting

[*] What will be displayed in this sidepanel if you select something else than active torrents or torrents in general

Let's see them one by one.
ACTIVE TORRENTS now only shows the active torrents but it would be great to see them separated: Downloading and Seeding buttons on the left side, list of downloading torrents by default (this avoids blank screen on the rest).
SEARCH TORRENTS: no change needed.
WATCHLIST: I don't know what it is (I mean I can't use it), but a listcontrol aligned to right would be enough.
RSS: same as watchlist (it doesn't work for me, though. I see two list element but nothing happens when I press OK on remote).
LOG: options aligned to left (they don't work for me too), outputs (if there are any) aligned to right.
SETTINGS: listcontrol to the right side.

And when there is no any element in the left side, either a nice picture (related to the plugin) or a minihelp should be displayed there.
I think it's important to insist upon the StreamedMP's regular layout as much as possible.

[*] Those labels at the bottom of the page, should be continuously updated, shouldn't they?

Just like uTorrent's WebUI, plugin should refresh them continuously (in every screen). Since this is an info stuff, no need to refresh in every 3 secs so as webui does.

[*] The "Status" thing at the bottom, is it a label or a button? If it is a button what will it do?

Of course, it's a only a label. And of course, status bar should be permanently displayed in every screen within the plugin.

[*] Will every information be displayed in this "main" screen or did you have subscreens for some in mind?

I'm not sure what you mean.
Again, I think menu bar on the top and status bar at the bottom should be permanent.
Plugin should start with:
display all the torrent labels on the left (having the default control) and first label's content on the right.
OR
display ACTIVE TORRENT's option buttons (downloading, seeding, perhaps inactive and completed too - more buttons look better) on the left and list of downloading torrents on the right by default.
Maybe the second one is the best.

That's all

my tracker doesn't allow to download torrent files w/o authentication, so my FR is to implement this or to implement cookies)

Hola Ixreb,

i think i tortured you enough with my bad spanish

Sorry that it took so long now, but i was in RegEx hell due to those nasty accents you have in spanish. This should work now, i hope

  <tracker>
    <name>DivXTotal</name>
    <url>http://www.divxtotal.com</url>
  </tracker>

This part goes into the beginning of the MyTorrent.xml to define the tracker.

    <engine>
      <name>DivXTotal</name>
      <tracker>DivXTotal</tracker>
      <sort>

      </sort>
      <sort>

      <options></options>
      <pages>1,2</pages>
    </engine>

And this part goes into the searchengine part, but perhaps you have to increase the number of pages

Hi!

Works great. Thanks! I have tried it and just had to change some code, because It don't worked very well. But only I have changed "(?<TId>.*?)" instead of "(?<TID>[0-9]*)" and it works perfect. I don't know why it did not work the other way.

Thanks again

I take a personal insult in this, especially the "pretty ugly" part . Could you make a mokup to illustrate your idea a little bit better vl002001? Or even better get together with vrm and we can work out a new style which hopefully won't be "pretty ugly" .
What I came up with, to beauty the skin a little bit more, is probably a sidepanel which would automatically hide in one side for the menu, keep the idea with the statusbar on the bottom and display everything in the main part of the window. For the different categories, I thought about something like tabs like from a browser. The next few days I will use my non existent paint skills and try to make a picture. The first one laughing about it, doesn't get the new version

vnizzz
Sorry, but I didn't find anything on the login thing yet. I found something in the project wiki. Did you already try here the part about authentication? If yes please send me a pm with the tracker url so i can at least get an account and have something with which i can experiment.

 

[CaNe|]

Ok here is my proposal for the reskin of the plugin.

Like I said the first one laughing about my nonexistent MS paint skills, will NOT be included in any version update whatsoever



So here is my proposal. The main menu will be on the left in a hide able panel. In the center area there would be the information displayed. Mainly in listviews with the appropriate values. For the torrents i thought we could do something like shown in the image. Drop the active torrent section, put the categories if enabled on top like tabs in a browser and on the right a hide able panel with "filters", which would mean that you have 3 (or more) checkbuttons for seeding, downloading and stopped. So for example if you check seeding and downloading, only the torrents of these two kinds will be displayed. It would also be possible to add a "Sort by: " field to the right panel, for example sort by Category or sort by Label which exchanges the Checkbuttons with the "tabs" and otherway around.

Please tell me what you think about it.


Greetings

i think that looks beautiful! i was gong to do a mockup this weekend when i had some time, but i think it's unnecessary. looks like you have everything under control.
