Anything you feel is missing? Make a feature request. Let me know, i have done some requests from time to time before.
I use VNSTAT on PFSense to track my usage. Anyway to make a simple interface that would pull in Daily/Monthly/Yearly totals of Usage? Something like this implementation - https://github.com/lienma/UpsBoard
Its not likely that ill add feature like that, mostly because it does not i cba with data quota and so on. Its isnt a fixed provider in my country that uses that. However i will keep it in mind, and if there is a lot of requests i prob gonna end up doing it anyway... I did like the weather from upstat board and i have thinking about adding "Services to the dashboard" where you can quickly see if nzbget, sab, torrent clients are seeding/downloading/idle and what speed they are using.
Since I started using this manager, I imagined what could be the perfect interface and I think that a simplified interface, smoother, better organized and more interactive would be 'user-friendly' to my family members and will make more sense for them.
Instead of the current sections, the user interface could be organized around sections: Dashboard, OnDesk, Wanted, InProgess, AddContent, Monitor ; rewritten this way:
Section [AddContent] interactive, step by step:
What would you download? (movies, TV shows, music albums, ...)
To know who to call? (cp, sb, hp, ...) and what folder to download content.
Would you like to:
Will be using cp, sb or hp depending on the previous answer.
- Manually download the torrent?
As currently proposed in Transmission interface, but could also accept local .torrents files.
- Manually download the newsgroup file?
I never used newsgroups, so I don't know how it's working.
- Manually download from a file hoster?
Will be using PyLoad.
Cell to research/adding the desired content.
Depending on the previous answer, displays a dedicated cell.
Display the result of the research or display the file download progress.
Displays search results if title search, otherwise display current download (torrent, newsgroups or file hoster)
Section [InProgress] shows downloads in progress/finished, organized by tabs for: torrents, newsgroups, file hosting
Similar to existing interfaces.
Section [Wanted] displays the desired content in waiting, organized by tabs: movies, TV shows, music artists.
Similar to existing interfaces.
Section [OnDesk] displays the contents of XBMC/Plex organized by tabs (similar to the current display) and offers possibility to stream or local download of contents.
Possible tracks: cakebox-light (github).
Section [Monitor] displays the server informations, more comprehensive than the current display.
Possible tracks: seedbox-manager (github) ezservermonitor-web (github).
Otherwise, here are some more reasonable suggestions: ^^
@Hellowlol does it make sense to you ? do you want me to open an issue with this ?
@Snipees Thanks for your requests, its obvious that you have used alot of time and effort on it!
A [Dashboard], similar to the current one, with display of current downloads. There will be some sort of current clients, like sab idle speed 0, nzbget idle speed 0, transmission seeding 100 kbs etc, i havnt decided if it gonna take the torrents aswell, it would be alot work.
Section [AddContent] interactive, step by step: I like the idea, i can see it has some use for kids etc. But i will not work on this request since i dont have use for it and it will be more clicks.
Otherwise, here are some more reasonable suggestions: ^^
For the Dashboard: display current downloads. Ill keep it in mind. PRS welcome For Transmission: allow downloading from a local .torrent file request forfilled For Transmission: add a combo choice of the category of file: movies, TV shows, music. (to select desired folder to download) Accepted if supported by the api Integration of PyLoad with an interface similar to the current Transmission interface I will not work on this. But PRS are welcome Added a section for local download of content (see cakebox-light (github)) Maybe, PRS welcome Upgrades of the Statistics section (see seedbox-manager (github) ezservermonitor-web (github)) Maybe, PRS welcome
I locked this since its intended to be a place where I write down ideas, thing that I consider to add to HTPC manager. Please made a new issue for each future request/issue
