Suomipoeka Version 0.95Original von suomipoekaGreetings from FinlandHere's the result of close to one year of modifying Enigma2's MovieList interface. Initially I wanted more control and flexibility over the recordings from the GUI and began modifying the Gemini2 image. Finally the work has gradually evolved into a separate plugin with no direct dependencies to the underlying image, other than the interfaces of the python classes from Enigma2. This has been publicly available to Finnish users via a local discussion forum for quite a while. Now I'm posting this here also incase there may be other users outside Finland interested in this extension.Main FeaturesMovieList:- *Very* fast operation compared to the original E2 MovieList- Full directory support- More control over the movie files (move, delete, dir create, empty dir delete)- Multiselection (pressing the video-button on a movie) for all available operations (delete, move and playlist)- Files can be moved or renamed during playback / recording (Linux filesystem feature)- Files can be deleted while being played (playback will be stopped or file is removed from playlist)- Currently recorded files can be permanently deleted but the timer will remain as "zombie" in the timers list- Non-permanent delete only equals move to the trashcan which lets the recording continue- Trashcan option (if you don't like it, put "days remain" to 0 and "trashcan hide"=yes)- File operations done in the background (currently 3 shell execution unit instances, can be scaled up if required)- Files being moved across mount points e.g. from internal HDD to an NFS/CIFS NAS share (or vice versa) do not block the GUIOther plugin features:- Allows usage of different GUI and EPG languages without messing up the EPG- Automatic cleanup of done-timers- Automatic daily restarting of Enigma (prevents device crashing in heavy usage)- Possibility to speedup the remote control key inputMovieList Controls- Cursor keys: navigate list normally- Info: standard Enigma EventView- Menu: pops up the MovieSelectionMenu- TV-button: reload current directory- VIDEO-button: Select / deselect files for multiselection- OK: play current movie selection / playlist- RED: delete selected movies (permanently if "days to remain in trashcan"==0)- GREEN: Alpha sort / date sort toggle- YELLOW: Move currently selected movies (LocationBox opened if cursor not on top a directory)- BLUE: Movie home / Play last (configurable)Here's some screenshots that probably tell you more than a thousand words.. In this particular case the plugin has been installed on top of Peter Pan Neverland image.Interfaces for accessing the plugin. Configuration from the plugin menu, MovieList lauch from the extensions menu, basic initial view of the MovieList:FAQQ: What is the "cifs* files operation" setting?A: On Samba CIFS filesystem Linux creates "cifs"* (randomly numbered e.g. cifs7645) files when files that are being used by some process get deleted by some other process. For some reason these files are not deleted by the filesystem when the first process using the file finally releases it. I added this option when I was using recording over a Samba CIFS mount. This way I didn't have to worry about these grabage files left on the drive. If you're not using a CIFS mount you can ignore this setting as it will have no effect.Q: What is the "cursor to newest" setting?A: The "cursor to newest" settings simply move the cursor on top of the newest recording when the list is opened (from tv mode or playback mode). By setting on the reversed list order this effect will probably be more visible.TODO- Via record event handling show a progress bar for movies still being recorded (instead of the date+time)- Possibility to stop a recording from the file listing when the cursor is on top of the recorded movie- Some mechanism to detect if a movie is being copied to the recordings folder (and show it in the list immediately)Known issues- none at the momentNew in version 0.81:- fixed "Delete does not work if the trashcan directory doesn't exist"- fixed the movie path access limit setting- description field slightly enhanced- movie title loading from meta files (optional, slows loading maybe %1 )- icons for movie files in the list- blue / red icon depending on if movie watched or not (optional)- movie file size display in the title field- re-open after stop-press fixedNew in version 0.80:- Added button images to the plugin directory to make installation easy and avoid playing with symlinks- Added support for selecting MovieList launch button override (Video-button, TV-button, Radio-button, Quick-button or Timeshift-button)- Fixed the bug causing a bluescreen when /hdd/movie directory was not found during bootup- Fixed a few cosmetic issues with the MovieList extended description field[/b]Can be installed via the manual addon install feature available on many images. Requires GUI restart to enable the plugin. It should be fine to install v0.80 directly on top of v0.79 without uninstalling the old one. Currently uninstallation is not possible from the GUI. If you wish to uninstall you can run:Version 0.95-r0:- added option for hiding "VLC servers" directory- added long-BLUE press -> opens bookmarks- movie list button functionality optimizations- video-button long press keeps selecting more files- buttons without an operation can be seen in the help screen (also a popup dialog is shown when used)- removed change repead binary (rewrote in python), no more mipsel dependencies- removed locales (should use separate installation packages)- some minor fixesMay be some other changes as well that I forgotTODO:figure out a better solution for distributing locale packages
