plugin to show HDD space left(in hours?) (2 Viewers)

[SnipesXxX]

Is there a plugin or a way to set MP to show HDD space left in hours or not?

I would love to see this too!

Edit
myStatus plugin will show you the free space (GB or MB) you have on your hdd.

How much this is in hours is not implemented, yet.

if there's interrest i could write a plugin (overlay) that displays the space in minutes left. i'm also very interested in that..

 

[Ralph]

Sure there is interest for that!
Do you need a disctraction from skinning? :wink:
Of course that would be very helpful.
It could be done as an aditional entry for myStatus plugin and/or as Overlay for your new upcoming skin nonafo.

This kind of Plugin already exists years ago for myHTPC and now it would be nice having this information even with MediaPortal.
Then I won't have to convert by myself anymore.

So, I'm definitely interested!

As I previously voiced.....I would love to see this!!

It would be nice to have it as a plug-in to overlay the information on perhaps either the "Scheduled" screen, or the "Recorded TV" screen.

ok, i'll have a look on it then!

Maybe it would be best to simply expose the information as a tag, like time and date and channel and the like. This way it can be easily placed into a skin just by referencing the tag and can be implemented as the skin designer wants.

at a closer look it seems to be a very hard task as there may be recordings with variable bitrates. so calculating might be very hard as it can switch from hdtv (f.e. sports) to sdtv (f.e. commercials) in one recording...

i'll have some more thoughts about it, but if anyone comes up with a good solution please tell :idea:
