Refresh Rate - Realtime

[smidley]

This is probably a long shot, and probably requires more work than it's woth, but is there a way to have sab display the stats in realtime?  this would include Download speed, time remaining, free drive space, and completion time.  I have mine set to 1sec refresh right now, but I think it would just look a lot smoother if it was realtime stats.  Thanks.

Undoable. SABnzbd has a web interface, which limits what we can do.
It's also not really meant to be looked at
Set-and-forget: feed it an NZB and wait for the notification email.

We could implement a comet connection using javascript, but at the end of the day SABnzbd can provide a large stream of information so would have to be capped at updates every 1 or half a second anyway.

What about some kind of animation?  Kind of like how an online speed test website works.... I don't know a whole lot about web programming though, so I'm not sure if this is doable at all.

Undoable.

LOL. Nice.

You know I only dabble in UI and I could still think of at least a few ways to accomplish this. The constant jquery update was my first thought, but even if it's not true real time data, the estimates provided to a call to an animation would be useful enough to the average joe.

Are you volunteering for work on the skins?
We could certainly use some help in that area.
