How do you select a whole season of a TV show to download. It seems is it not possible to highlight all the episodes you want to download or select a whole season?

• Love the auto build menus.!
• Love that you can use multiple xbmc libraries!
• Love, Love, Love that you can use XBMC keys (up, down left, right, enter), while on the XBMC page! This have made the native xbmc webpage obsolete.
• Like the party mode feature. However I found that is played different genres. it went from techno to jazz and even Christmas music.

The home page is cute, but I found it meaningless after a few days. I ended up making the XBMC Page the default. I my opinion I think that having system information on this screen would be more meaningful and benifitial. Information like,

• Disk Space usage, CPU and Memory Utilization
• Sabnzbd live download feed when active. http://www.maraschinoproject.com/ has something like this, but I think this has greater potential.
• Upcoming selection (Couch Potato wanted list)
• Add a movie.
• PVR page – Can the Network logos be used?

Having page for each application is good if you want further information, but the main page should be you one stop shop!

Thanks for the compliments! The xbmc party mode is an xbmc-ferature, i have no influence on the genres, sorry.

I would like to review the dashboard/homepage widgets sometime. A 'currently downloading' widget would be nice indeed. As for the 'add movie' ability; i would like to keep the interaction on the dedicated page. So adding, removing, starting, stopping would go on the page for couch potato, xbmc, sick beard or whatever module it is related to.

I did not work on the PVR stuff. I do not even know how to use it. So that is basically just as-is.

The thing with the diskspace is also on my wanted list, but i do not know how to do this. In my case, i have Sabnzbd, xbmc and HTPC Manager all 3 on a differet system, for which device should i show the disk size? And how do i determine the disk size if HTPC-Manager is not running on a system connected to the disk?

No and yes. The Updater in HTPC-Manager is fixed. I did not test this on a synology but i have not received any complaints about it. However, the Synology Package is NOT fixed. The package was created by someone else and i have no idea who it was. I have no Synology nor the experience building packages. Im afraid i can not help you with that. We need someone who can build a new package using the current source, or update the package.

Today i came up with a possible workaround.

PHP Code:
Try replacing your htpc/updater.py with the most recent versionhttps://github.com/styxit/HTPC-Manager/blob/master/htpc/updater.py
And the default.js file in interfaces/default/js with https://github.com/styxit/HTPC-Manager/blob/master/interfaces/default/js/default.js

after replacing the two filesrestart HTPC Manager and run the updater from the menu or from the commandline
From now on the updater and all new features should work.

This can not be done from within HTPC-Manager. Sorry. Only downloading and searching for one specific episode.

Actually, the Logos are read from the TV Back end once they are configured.
Is this a feature that will be added in the future? I find when adding a new show this is helpful, also with sab the ability to select multiple downloads or clear the history.

I don't know. If there is someone who thinks it is useful they are free to add/create it.
Any chance we can get a sexier login page? Like couchpotato has.

When looking at this commit i have no idea what it looks like.

HTPC-Manager does not handle users at the moment. The access restriction is done through the CherryPy server. CherryPy uses HTTP AUTH to allow or deny access to HTPC-Manager. This http auth is handled by the browser itself, and can not be style using html or css. I anyone wants to create a nice login page. They would also have to create the entire login and user management functions, because those things are currently not handled by HTPC-Manager.

Check out https://code.google.com/p/psutil/ regarding system info
(2014-01-05, 19:31)hellow Wrote: [ -> ]Check out https://code.google.com/p/psutil/ regarding system info

So you would lik the disk usage (and maybe syteminfo) for the system HTPC-Manager is running on?

I think the most people would use it that way, but in my case this would be useless.
I run HTPC-Manager on a raspberryPi, while sabnzbd, which downloads everything, runs on a different system. So the disk usage of my RaspberryPi would be useless for me, i need the disk usage for the download system.

The sabnzbd api provides some stats about the disk usage, so maybe 2 widgets is the way to go. The user can decide which one to show:
- Widget showing system AND disk usage for the local system using psutil
- Widget showing disks stats from sabnzbd.

I have 32 bit Windows 7, am I not going to be able to install PIL?

Any thought on supporting Plex? (Yes I realize I'm on XBMC forum)

I am also curious as to where the HTPC Manager folder goes

Thanks for creating what appears to be an awesome piece of software. And sorry if I'm repeating a question already asked, but there are 33 pages atm in this thread

Thanks!

Maybe somebody already answered your question about. Plex .. But I created an "issue" on GitHub a while ago.
https://github.com/styxit/HTPC-Manager/issues/16

Maybe you can find your answer here.

Yeah i'd love to have system info, like cpu, memory, disks. I assume most ppl have everything installed on a "server"

I just tested, it don't seem you access to mounted disks(only tested windows.) This is how maraschino solved it: https://github.com/mrkipling/maraschino/...skspace.py

I would think having the information of the machine XBMC is running on is more relevant since that is the machine of primary concern and would match up with what XBMC dipslays on screen. But it would not hurt to add both. The XBMC system and the HTPC manager system if running separately. If you are running Linux, many of these services really do not use much resources and are installed on the same system.

Monuted Disk Space is Must. That is probably the only thing i liked about Maraschino.

I don't know about a widget, but this morning I added disk stats to the sab module....total disk size, disk space remaining and to top it off total download remaining.
