New Plugin: SystemStatus

[nkh]

How many days of EPG do you have?? I can only get about 8 so it fits nice. I'll try and figure out a paging method.

Do you think this may have a use??

I have this problem too, it says I have 51 days of EPG data, but most of them are from the recordings I haven't deleted, maybe you could make it count only future dates? or the two past days and then only the future days?

Other than that the plugin works nicely

Sorry, I'm working on that at the moment.

Other than that, I'm pleased you like it.

Ok, version 2 already. Fairly major upgrade to all of the EPG display code

Have spent a bit of time on this.
-Now handles more than one page worth of EPG data
-defaults to the current day
-displays icons to show if there is more data to view
-have removed the commonGBPVRUtilities.dll from the zip file - you'll need to get
that from the wiki (not using the new one yet Jeff).
-Prettied up the skins a little.

Hopefully it works better than yesterday's effort.

Works great for me now! Any chance you feel like publishing the source code? I'd love to add support for 5 drive letters!

I must say the source isn't pretty. But here goes.

If you want me to add anything to it let me now. I might add a module for listing upcoming recordings.

I'd like to add a bit more to the Power section.

Lastly I might put some stuff in there to control the EPG section, like clearing it, updating etc.

Hey psycik; hoping you might be able to help me.
I tried the SystemStatus plugin (the original, then version2), and neither seems to be working for me. I just get the dreaded "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" window when I click on the system status button.

I went looking for a log file but couldn't find one that seemed to reflect the cause for this error. Any suggestions?

[psycik]

I'll have a look at the code....it might be a bit foobar.

[psycik]

I've updated it. Had some problems with the skin. Not quite sure why.
Version 2.3

"You the man!" somehow seems appropriate to say... seems to be working perfectly now. Many thanks!

Hey there again, psycik; just a quick question. Is there any reason in particular that my cpu usage jumps up to and stays at 100% when I'm checking the EPG status?
