Online Source - my wish list

At Online Source:

- Source Name possibility to move UP/Down. ( this will help organize sources by priority and speed up display at Serviio start )
- Remove button moved down. ( I had to edit many of my links and by mistake I pressed Remove few time and lost some Source )
- No thumbnails option ( for speed up, fast only links )
- Import / Export. ( Back-up / Restore Library, useful if you use Servio on 2 computers or just to make back-up and keep it safe or to share your sources )

1 and 4 are already planned

Thank you.

Another one useful if you have 2 or more Serviio servers in LAN; now you have to exit&close console, and start another console for that IP ...
- IP/identification of server where console is connected on
- Possibility to Switch/Connect console to Serviio servers listed in Server Status ( need a profile to identify as Serviio server or IP inserted manual )

why would you want more than one imstance of serviio on your network ? only reason i can think of is for beta testing and in that case 99% of users would never use the function so it would be next to useless.

Because I have an old computer as file server and tv will access files stored on HDD from him and another computers that tv will access for online stream, Youtube...

You could have the second computer access the harddrive on the old computer, that way you would only have one running instance of serviio.

I prefer not, because the file server it is online 24h / 7days, for storage & accessing files by any device from LAN ( mediaplayer, dreambox, tv, computers ) it is perfect.

I have an old Athlon 64 from 2004 that I am running serviio on Mint linux on it and it runs 24/7 and I stream all my movies from the HD in it, and I stream my online feeds from it also. This way all the programs I have on the computer are available all the time, serviio, calbre, and all my shared folders.

What do you think about my file server that now run also Serviio:
Compaq year ~199x with Intel Pentium 2 - 348Mhz 128Mb Ram, 70Gb HDD with 1.5Tb HDD on USB 2
XP Pro SP3 - with all unneeded services disabled ( ~37Mb Ram free with Serviio running ).

Any how if it is not important or to much time consumming for developers to program console to have the Switch to another server function - button, I can survive without problems, I made my .bat and from there I can select which of my server I connect, no problem.

I think that you should be fine, what I would do is turn on performance monitor and see what the CPU and memory loads are. It would probably be slower doing the initial indexing, but that is about all. You will probably only be limited if you are transcoding a few streams at the same time. Ie using 2-3 renderers at the same time.

If you do not mind can you post the results of the performance monitor if you use it, so we can use it as a reference point.
On my athlon 64 I rarely get above 1-2% load.

I never used performance monitor, will try to see if I can manage.

Here is a link on how to use it.

I would only worry about processor and memory monitoring.

This settings are ok ?
How do I see the log after it is saved ?

p.s.
On this old computer I have disabled transcoding by default because I think it it is to much for this old CPU and so little memory.

This is a log, first I try to play online TV -HD then TV -SD, and finally a movie mkv from HDD ( no subtitle support ), all this done on media player EGR-1

1 and 4 are already planned

@zip - Have you got plans to put online feeds into folders? for example i want all my iPlayer feeds in one "iPlayer" folder, all 4OD feeds in "4OD" folder ect
i would defo like to see this on next release

[zip]

I'm thinking about how to do this. Not sure if next version but should be there at some point.

[Xmantium]

i think the best way is to use Display Name, could use double forwardslash or a symbol so Serviio knows its a folder

for example
iPlayer\\Highlight Feeds
4OD\\New Girl
iPlayer\\Popular feeds
