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

    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.

    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!

    Regards

    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.

    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:

    There seems to be an ongoing problem that some users have when trying to install MP 1.36. I regret that I do not know the cause of this problem, and so cannot suggest a solution. However, I can suggest a workaround that (hopefully) will work for you. The workaround is to: Completely uninstall MP, MySQL, and MariaDB. Perform a...

    I don't think so, because MP has no way of knowing at which timestamp the external player stopped playback. Best way to achieve this would be to use an auto-resume feature in your external player itself. (MPC-HC can do that, I don't know about VLC)

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...
