Thanks for the info gugahoi.
Quote:To start off - and this is possibly a linux to windows difference - is that the paths to sickbeard are not correct. What I mean is, by default you have something like "computer:[port]/sickbeard/comingEpisodes" when in windows is just "computerort/comingEpisodes" and the sickbeard URL is "computerort/home/"These sorts of things are different for each person so obviously mfp is unable to know this before the user puts the correct one in. I myself have sickbeard setup with the webroot setting so it is accessed at sickbeard/comingEpisodes but I agree, if sickbeard's default setting is to not have a webroot then the default setting should be changed in mfp to be clearer. It is possible to also put a description of each setting in the settings page so it is easier to setup.
Quote:Another thing I noticed is that when modifying the MFP settings part in the settings page (nav bar) and saving the changes, they could not be seen until the entire page was reloaded since the navbar is not updated. Maybe only with that part of the settings the entire page should be reloaded, including navbar?Good idea. I'll add a refresh button.
Quote:I forgot to mention also that maybe you could increase the size of the text boxes with url's in the settings page so that this way the user can see the entire url. At the moment most test boxes end up with something like "http://usernameassword@" so I can't really see the full URL. There is no need to save space in those pages in my opinion.The settings page is in a proof of concept stage at the moment. There are lots of these improvements which can easily be made to improve the ease of use.
Quote:Lastly, the recent movies widget only loads randomly. Sometimes it doesn't load at all, but the recent tv shows always loads immediately. Not sure if they are related but seems like they do the same thing.This is the only real issue as I see it. Have you looked in your webserver's log to see if there are any errors reported when the page loads? Also what happens if you move the recent tv/ movies /media library widgets into different positions? I was experiencing this but am not any more after removing erroneous css links.
