My End game is to provides something to manage the DVR from the Engine perspective, i.e. on the NAS. That for me includesHaving said that, just curious as to what the end game is here. How far do we go with an app like this? All the talk of finding a show on a webpage and having it automatically record seems like it would be way out of the scope of what is even really plausible with the system. Especially considering the somewhat limited EPG that SD provides, and also it seems something more suited for a browser plugin than an app for a NAS.
- configuration
- log file viewing
- rules management
- recordings management
- upcoming/conflict management
So, we're nearly there in terms of big features. Now tweaking and refinement needed.
I honestly am terrible at web page design. I know what you mean though, and do want to provide something more in keeping with the other tabs. Might play around with that once I get some of the other bits workingOne last little criticism... Skewmorphism is dead. Could we get some more flat looking buttons on the server tab?
You're welcome.. no compensation, just a vested interest in doing what I'm doing..321liftoff wrote:deamonrik, you are flat-out crazy I can't believe the product you are providing us; this is what I expect from SiliconDust and you are well ahead of the curve. You have made it extremely easy to implement the DVR Record engine on the Qnap NAS, and thus are helping us all enjoy the test phase that much more. Kudos!!! I hope SD is compensating you somehow with some free tuners or something!
It's a combination of fonts and web page layout. It's definitely my weaker point and I'm hoping to spend a bit more time to get it all to scale properly.Quick comment...if a show has a two-line description on the Recordings or Rules pages, then the green text (channel and "All Episodes") or the Buttons (play, delete, rerecord) is pushed down where its sitting half-way on the horizontal line separating the two episodes. I wonder if it's a font rendering issue on my chromebook browser vs what you are using to develop the page.
Which is something I'm considering for the others... BUT I want something that scales properly just in case there is something that forces an increase again. So before I do that for all the pages, I need to get the scaling properly working.. It shouldn't overlap like that.The Upcoming page looks fine, because the thumbnail images are larger, giving more room for the text and the green buttons/text.
