Here we go again
I optimized skin and added a nice help text - be sure to read!
As I said before you SHOULD activate drive C because of formatting of the skin.
All other drives should be grouped automatically, not assigned drives show a respective message.
Just copy the content of the attached ZIP into your PVHD folder (overwrite).
Have fun!

I read and do the same as displayed (text would be better than picture, for copy/paste)

Yes, I read that but, I explain it and why in 3/ b)

1/ The only C: checked :



2/ With E: checked, more than C: (please look at 2 times E: displayed)



3/ With your config :



a) rectangle can't contains all infos.
b) Here is a problem : we already see that there is scroll for drives here BUT, you (and me) know that probably C: is not the drive where free space is critical.
Then, before E: appears, others impatients users who will not wait scrolling could think OK, there are place in the disk, where it could not be the case...

Also, same problem in scheduled :

Right - better I use the wording "This drive is not activated"

a) rectangle can't contains all infos.

a) unfortunately correct - have to think how adapt the size of that display
b) Scrolling starts per skin standard after 20 seconds - I´ll reduce that one for DFS to lets say 5 seconds

If a day, in "recorded" (wich is I think, more used than scheduled), would be great to adapt here too.

b) Scrolling starts per skin standard after 20 seconds - I´ll reduce that one for DFS to lets say 5 seconds

Can be a solution or, completely avoid C: display.
(My wife will never wait for 5 seconds).

Also, if you have GFX ideas for DFS plugin enabled/disabled instead of default one, a bit like I made for FileExplorer, I'll take it

Enabled :



Disabled :

Hmm, recorded screen is very full - not sure I can find a suitable place (maybe in the description field at bottom

I used the configuration from my last post for a quick test with your latest settings_general.xml, where C:, D: and E: are fixed drives/partitions, F: and H: are USB sticks, G: is a virtual drive and I: is an optical drive.

1. All drives are enabled, G: is probably the drive with 0% shown twice, H: is only shown as a red dot.



2. Drive D: is disabled, the last drive as a red dot is probably I:, the enabled optical drive.



Regarding the layout, it might be easier to show in e.g. mytvrecordedtv.xml only the drives that are checked in the config of DriveFreeSpace and to present in Settings perhaps by means of menubutton all drives on several pages, where the physically not present drives are e.g. grayed out or marked differently.

@framug What do you think about this DFS inTV Recordings?

 

[catavolt]

G: is a virtual drive and I: is an optical drive.

Not sure whether DFS recognize those correctly Therefore the glitches may appear
Sorry to edit your post but images in fullscreen consume to much space ...

@framug What do you think about this DFS inTV Recordings?

Oh year !!
Not tested yet but may be, try to not hide the chair ?
I mean, maybe take all the black rectangle above (more length) but, with less width...
What do you think ?
