I've taken a look at the new webfrontend and here is what i think could be improved:
-Easier channel sorting(exporting/importing channel lists):
make it possible to export the channel list(so you get a download with a file with channel names+video source), then sort it, and then upload it to webfrontend again. Webfrontend then sorts the channels according to the order in the uploaded file(channels not in the file go at the end of the channel list). This would also be nice because users could then share their channel lists with others.
(example file:
Code: Select all
channel 1 [dvb-s]
channel 2 [dvb-t]
channel 3 [dvb-s]Video source must be adjusted when sharing the file though, but that would be a simple "replace all" in a text editor or the webfrontend could ask what to change the sources to or whether to ignore all channels with an unknown source.
?Maybe we also need to take care of duplicate channels? In that case, also add frequency or whatever is necessary to identify:
Code: Select all
channel 2 [dvb-t] [100000]-Inline editing of channel number etc and save button at bottom(like in mythweb)
-Display full episode description when hovering a show in epg
-On the screen after clicking a show in epg and selecting "edit recording rule", display show info on the left instead of top(better for widescreens)
-Make it so it doesn't matter if you click left or right edge in the sliders in Filters tab etc(not so important, but a bit irritating because one might think the buttons don't work when clicking them in the "active" edge)
-Page EPG(display only a user-defined number of channels at once).
Makes loading faster??
Bug?: In midori / epiphany (and probably all webkit browsers?) the webfrontend doesn't work correctly(flickering pages, non-hiding sidebar).
