Working on a very basic statistic report, app for a lack of a better term. I wanted something super simple, that pulled in Plex's now playing info with a bit of server monitoring so I could very quickly see what was happening on my PMS on a single screen, particularly mobile. This is a web based app, but with an emphasis on mobile screens. My ideal is to have this look good on mobile, tablets and up on a second desktop screen.
I'm no coder - but luckily my other half is. I said - "hey build me this" and he said "okay..."
This is for my personal use, but I figured I'd ask other folks what they'd like as well and I'll gladly release it when we're done. He has the code finished mostly and all is working, I'm still tinkering with the UI. Trying to flush out ideas...
Easily implemented info such as now playing and CPU stats was what I was looking for. That's done... what other 'simple' things should we add that I haven't thought of?
Attached is the extremely basic outline of what I'm working on for the UI on mobile. Obviously, this is a very simplified sketch and not my finished design...
Additional ideas that I'm thinking about for a second screen on mobile, or also displayed on a desktop - and keeping in mind this is my asking my partner 'hey, can you do this?' -and it may or may not be as easy as I think it should be...
- Upcoming TV shows from SB
- Upcoming movies from CP
- Recently downloaded from SAB
- Recent notifications from PO, possibly Twitter (easier)
- Next recording from ArgusTV
This is a polling script, easy peasy with no database, so I do not plan on any historical data. I'll leave all that fancy stuff to the wonderful ljunkie (for which we have borrowed a cup of code, kiss nom nom nom).
