Extra Information Box
Overview The Extra Information Box can be set to appear with the Topfield Information Box and/or with the Topfield Progress Bar.
Date and Time
Current date and
time.
HDD Free Space
Reports
the free space in GB or MB on your HDD followed by and estimate of the recording time
available based on the parameter MbPerMin (default is 56). I calculated the
average MB per minute by recording several shows and then looking at the size
and number of minutes reported in the file menu. The actual MB per minute varies
depending on the channel and the program. If you don't like the number I have
calculated then edit the ProgressBarKeys.ini file and put in your own estimate.
If the calculated recording time available is less than the parameter
HddFreeHours (default=4) the box will display with a red background.
Estimated Disk
Full Time and Date (EDF)
The third box
reports the estimated date and time your disk will be full based on your current
timer setting and available recording time calculated in box 2. If the hours to
the EDF calculated is less than the parameter HddTimerHours (default=48) the box
will display with a red background.
Estimated Disk
Full Time and Date
(EDF) Calculation Example
Current date and
time 11/07/04 14:00
Timer 1 records
daily at 18:00 for 60 minutes.
The EDF will be
13/07/04 18:00 as the calculated
available disk space on that day would not be sufficient for the timer duration.
There was sufficient disk space for the timer on the 11/07/04 and 12/07/04.
