[QUOTE="GaryMartynUK, post: 1008890, member: 125768"] I've since tweaked my set-up so I have two versions of the skin file. One has two lines of text from the plug-in and a progress bar. The other has a semi-transparent background, a percentage display on the progress bar and only one line of text from the plug in which I think looks better, but you can take your pick. There is a zip attached with all the files you need. To set-it up you need to do 4 things. 1) Copy image files [LIST] [*]Copy the image files from the Media directory in the ZIP file to C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan\Media [/LIST] 2) Pick which skin file you want (They are BOTH for Titan skin only) [LIST] [*]Pick one from the images below [*]Copy the relevant one from the 'Skin file' directory in the ZIP to C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan. [*]Rename your current mytvrecordedtv.xml file to keep it safe and rename the one you copied in to mytvrecordedtv.xml [/LIST] 3) Install the DriveFreeSpace plugin [LIST] [*]Copy the DriveFreeSpace.dll from the Plugin directory to C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\process (or C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\process for 32 bit windows) [/LIST] 4) Configure the DriveFreeSpace plugin to fit your skin choice [LIST] [*]Access the plugin via the MediaPortal configuration [*]Select the 1 drive you record your TV programmes [*]Set up the Gui Text and Gui Text (total for all enabled drives) fields as per the instructions below each skin image below. [/LIST] [B]No background two display lines[/B] [ATTACH=full]132224[/ATTACH] For no Background two line skin in DriveFreeSpace plugin [B]GUI text[/B] put... [I]TV recording capacity[/I] [I]%freespace% of %total space% %unit% available[/I] then in [B]GUI Text (total for all enabled drives)[/B] put...

[I]%uspercent%[/I] [B]Note if you want to use the DriveFreeSpace plugin for other things[/B] As I only use this plugin for this one feature I have used the value for 'all selected drives' in the skin and then only select the one drive in the plugin that I use for recording. If you want to use the plugin for other things you will need to recode the skin file to use the specific drive info that you need. I did it this way so that I could use the same skin file on all my HTPCs and simply change the selected drive in the pluging config to point to the recording space. It is D: on my Main HTPC but Z: on the others and one quick change in the plugin makes it work rather than needing different skins on each machine. [/QUOTE]
