Bug#661712: dvswitch: Provide some information about the free space of the hd

2014-11-03 Thread Jürgen Weigert
How about printing the available recording time, when starting dvsink-file? This is, when someone is paying attention to placing the recording on the right disk and such. The user who starts dvsink-files should watch out for error messages anyway. My idea is, that this makes it the best point in

oh oh oh!!! print it every time someone hits cut, like part of this: 212 printf(INFO: Created file %s\n, name); and if it drops below a threshold (like 1 hour) print it to stderr also. On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 3:47 PM, Jürgen Weigert jnwei...@gmail.com wrote: How about printing

I don't see the point of doing this in DVswitch. There are applets for this and a stock GNOME installation will warn on low disk space. I believe it would be nice to see the amount of disk free where I look to check if the dvsink is working, and made a untested draft patch to do so. Something

I am using a patch in dvsink-files which turned out to be helpful. Users are concerned about location of files when starting dvsink-files, so this appears a good place to print an estimate of available recording time. See attached. There are many more 'goodies' included in

People have different usage patterns. I would not rule out what you are saying here to also be the case for me; but I'm also not sure about the opposite. I used to start dvsink-files manually before and I believe I would've looked at it then. Also; having this in dvsink-files feels quite useful
