Windows Desktop Gadget Updated for V5?

[BrettB]

No but there is something called the 8gadget pack that I was going to try.  The server doesn't have to do anything  but if you wanted to host it like UJB did for cncb then we need the ability to download .gadget extensions.  Like I said not a big deal.

Yes. I use the 8gadget pack to display the NextPVR gadget on my Windows 10 laptop. It's really nice having that handy display of the current and upcoming recordings as well as the free disk space for the default recording drive right on my desktop.

There is a call to get the show details giving an event id:

http://localhost:8866/services/service?m...id=1096305

It turns out what UJB allowed was a way to link to NEWA to update or cancel a specific recording.  The current browser only has scheduler.html available

Interesting. I never knew it allowed updating or cancelling recordings directly. I've never used that. I just like to be able to do a quick check of the upcoming pending recordings. I know it does have a link to just go to the NEWA website which (theoretically) would now just go to the web UI.

Brett I have it mostly figure out but what margins and width are you using? I can't get a nice display with the defaults.

I think I'm just using defaults. The Display settings show 130 for the width and 0 0 0 0 for the margins.

The Schedule settings show row height 30. And here's the Recording Schedule item HTML:

Code:

"<div class='RecordingTitle'>" + rec.Title + "</div><div class='RecordingSub'>" + (isRecordingNow ? "-" + rec.Stop.format(gTimeFormat) : (date != today ? date : rec.Start.format(gTimeFormat))) + " " + rec.ChannelName + " (" + rec.ChannelNumber + ")</div>"

Show Main Border is checked. And show channel logos is not checked.

I have had this out on the wiki for a few months now but never got around to announcing it so here you go.
