[mythtv-users] Announcing Mythtv Sidebar Gadget for Vista!

[Robert Longbottom]

Hi,

I've created a Vista [1] sidebar gadget that shows Mythtv status.  If 
anyone is interested, you can get it from the link below. (Obligatory 
screenshot is there too)

http://www.codeplex.com/mythtvSidebarGadget

It shows encoder status, guide data status, disk space and upcoming 
recordings.

It's my first sidebar gadget, and I've only tested it on my setup, but 
it's not doing anything clever so hopfully it should work for other 
people too.  If it breaks your PC / Mythbox / desk / chair / neck, don't 
blame me!

I've got a few ideas for possible future improvements, such as a popout 
to show more upcoming recordings, see if I can work out how to detect 
and alert on conflicts, links to Mythweb, ....

Send comments / feedback / flames to the list.

Enjoy!
Robert.

[1] Yes, thats _Windows Vista_ and I realise this is mainly a Linux 
based list, but I have a Vista laptop that I use a lot and thought I'd 
share in case anyone else likes the idea.
