    Beautifully designed and informative graphics, but because of the wealth of information, it might be clearer to split the text and choose the drive designation as the heading in each case, especially if more drives are added.

    it might be clearer to split the text and choose the drive designation as the heading in each case, especially if more drives are added.
    The text shown comes from only 1 (!) property of DriveFreeSpace and is the text you configure in the plugin itself - so the less data you configure, the less text is shown. There are no separate properties for the different information (like disk space total, used space, free space etc.)
    Screenshot shows my configuration, other users may use other configuration.

    Well, I decided for a maximum of 8 drives available (screenshot uses 4 times same drive C to show "full load").
    Finally I will add the respective visibility options to only show the really available drives.
    That´s it for today - have a good night ;)

    Well, finally I changed my mind and desided for only 6 drives ;)
    In DriveFreeSpace config I now use this construct:

    %drive% %labelbrackets%
    %totalspace% GB gesamt / %usedspace% GB belegt
    %freespace% %unit% frei (%fspercent%%)
    (für ca. %rectimeleft% Std. HD)

    so there are 4 lines of text shown.

    I also changed the sequence of display now from left to right (means drives C and D in 1st row, E and F in second row, G and H in third row)

    I added visibility conditions to not show unavailable drives.

    At the moment I´m looking for a possibility to make the drive letters not hardcoded, but maybe with a switch option, so even drives with other letters then C,D,E,F,G,H would be shown automatically (e.g. M, Z etc.)

    Well, that´s all for today - attached a screenshot and the new settings_general.xml for you to test ;)

    I made some updates to the Wiki page describing the <import> and <include> tags, including adding a couple of new xml examples. For the first example, I highlighted the example text and eventually found the location in the menus where I could select the CODE macro to have the example text formatted as a code example. So far, so good...

    TV Server plugins are listed on this page, and "EPG Cleaner" can be downloaded from this page. Note: I don't know what bitness the plugin has. It might be 32-bit, or it might be "any cpu". The plugin is not listed by the "MP Extensions" tool, so I don't know whether it has been tested with the most-recent MP releases. -- from...
