The web interafce speed really hasn't been looked at in this release. I think we are looking for some increase when we integrate SQLlite but that's probably not gonna happen until at least 1.6.
As for multiple deletes. We could probably do an alternate recordings page using checkboxes and then the action in a dropdown with a submit button(similar to how most web based mail apps work). The interface stuff isn't too hard. The problem is dealing with Unicode. Library.rpy and a few other scripts are having issues with that now that I am working on. Python itself is very easy for any perl person to pickup, check the python.org website and the tutorials. I am mainly a perl person and found this a good place to start and then copying existings scripts and modifying to my needs filled the rest of the gap. The most likely route to go with this new page since it probably be an issue only for people grabbing so much data that you could make it an addon and put it there for others to use if they want it. I hang out on IRC on weekends and can help you with the basics if you want, but there are several other regular IRC people who do web scripts, that might be able to help you out(rshortt, k-s, and bheremans). -- Michael Ruelle [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Just wanted to pick people's brains a bit regarding the freevo web > interface. > > I am currently running 1.4 (rc4, I believe) and the web interface can be > very slow at times.
