HTML & templates / Re: Responsive small screen template

« on: Today at 03:59:31 AM »

...2.not necessary (press MediaKeys on keyboard or lockscreen on cell phone to see title)...

Does mozGetMetadata benefit the majority who use Chrome/Apple/Android/Opera/Edge, or is it better to do, a non-verbose:  document.title=decodeURI that works efficiently for all? 

Maybe I should have said that I'd like an AudioPlayerLight:
Play button
title=filename
available shuffle+repeat
do not want moz-only parts

Audioplayer 6&7: 
1).  Play button doesn't start initial playback. 
2).  Browser title doesn't change to file name.
3).  Can I have 'compact' version without meta & without thumbnail?
4).  Doesn't play capitalized extension .MP3

RE:  #2 above:  mozGetMetadata doesn't work with other browser (and doesn't work with untagged mp3); however, title=filename works for all cases.

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: Help with Hardware Selection - New NAS

« on: March 02, 2021, 08:34:28 PM »

Note: 
Single-threaded Windows HTTP servers (there's many to choose from) have a requirement:  more-cpu-than-ethernet
This is done by setting properties of the ethernet port to 100mbit (to prevent gigabit flooding crashes).
No gigabit because, more-ethernet-than-cpu = crash 
So, if you need faster than 100mbit, (if you want a no-crash gigabit server) then you need Linux. 

Exception:  It is possible to buy multi-threaded windows server software that works almost as well as paying nothing for Linux.

Options list:
Free single thread windows server software (HFS and many others) with ethernet set to 100mbit
or Paying for multi-thread windows server software, for gigabit aka 1000mbit
or Linux (NAS or DIY)

HTML & templates / Re: The Throwback (retro) template. With large folder and mobile support.

« on: March 02, 2021, 08:51:18 AM »

Here's a version of Throwback, with more efficiency.

Compressed scripts that load-only-as-needed, use less data.
 
+ Audioplayer is easier and plays mp3, m4a, ogg, aac, wma, flac
+ Photoviewer/slideshow also shows image file name

Can the new audioplayer 5 or 6 do Shuffle+Repeat (can find and play a cached file when I drive through a no-signal area)?

For your 'classic' audioplayer in Stripes.tpl, how do I....?
something like <script> function ap(){
if(!document.querySelector('a[href$=".mp3"]')) return...

Well, how do I load the audioplayer6.js with the existing retry; but, only if files like these are present?:  '.mp3','.ogg','.m4a','.aac','flac','.MP3','.OGG','.M4A','.AAC','FLAC'

P.S.  Existing loader script is: 
<script defer src="/~audioplayer6.js" onerror="setTimeout(()=> this.src='/~audioplayer6.js',509)"></script>
So, that's the part that needs filtered to, load the audioplayer, only if music exists.  Halp?

Having fun with my new Stripes template, which  I made for"unconfuse" to help users focus. 

Even with Throwback, a relative asked me: "What is this for?" and then she said: "I can't use this."  Wow.
I tried again with the Stripes template, with different results:  Same person merrily downloaded files. 

It is an interesting puzzle that a different appearance changes users' expectations of what they should be doing.

For example, other templates with server-management top menu causes all users to expect that they Should be doing server-management.   
Stripes template does the opposite, by causing the user to expect that they should be downloading files.

HTML & templates / Stripes, the template for simple and easy

« on: February 20, 2021, 11:56:39 AM »

Stripes has a very clean layout that helps focus the users. 
Anyone will be able to use it easily.

+ High efficiency for multi-user workload.  Caching.  Exceptionally Sturdy.
+ Support for:  Phone/PC, large folders, basic users, any connection type.
+ Data savings because adaptive scripts aren't sent until they are needed.

Template Install:  HFS menu, HTML Template, Change file.
Kudos to DJ for the login, delete, and music shuffle player.

Beta / Re: version 2.4

Slight bug in "Please wait server busy"

Error:  Blocks multi-user browsing 
It is slightly too aggressive, and probably should be based on connections-per-second. 
Also the please wait delay is a little bit longer than necessary (delays real humans, often). 


Feature request:  Upload status available on Every page (available on the same page as the menus) so we can 'if uploading then no archive'
Feature request:  Archive status available on any page (available on the same page as the menus) so we can 'if archiving then delay upload'
Purpose is:
I'd like these with numeric result as %number-addresses-uploading% (on Every page, not just special upload section) and %number-addresses-archiving% (just packing the .tar file); so that I can throttle/delay other activities so that they don't clash.   Could also limit the # archive ongoing to 1 (by refusing to start another until the first is finished) and not doing either while uploading (to avoid interrupted upload).

Bug reports / Re: HFS stops receiving connections until program restarted

« on: February 18, 2021, 11:27:22 PM »

On very fast internet connections the speed-limit is especially likely to cause the quasi-off condition.
However...
One limit increases reliability:
Max simultaneous downloads from single address  (is good)
Use only that one.   Try setting it to 1 or 2

My suggestion doesn't stop the old retry-flood = exit, nor the newer quasi-off condition.   We still need a "watchdog" in Events, which would test the loopback 127.0.0.1 for alive (with .load 127.0.0.1/favicon?); and if no response, server off, then slightly into the future server on. 

Edit:  5 second time before server on, so that the overload cause/bot has given up or gone elsewhere?
Edit2:  Also, server off server on = server off.  (not useful)  So, I think that we have to quote server on to make it run last.
Maybe this:  server off, if not server off then server off, else {:server on {.if not server on then {:server on:}.}:} can run in the correct order to change the quasi-off condition to server on?   For server on, it may be necessary to check&loop until server is really on?
The key is this order:  server off, Look Over There!!!, server on{:server on:}
Edit3:  Only the .load macro + loopback can be used for watchdog purpose (must make an http request for watchdog test).

HTML & templates / Re: The Python Template Interpreter (PTI) Plan: suggestions?

« on: February 14, 2021, 11:21:52 PM »

I'm not versed in this programming, but do have suggestions about where to prevent macro: 
Prevent macro execution at drive root and  OS critical (c:/ & c:/windows* & c:/progra*) folders.
Prevent macro execution at same folder that contains HFS.exe, because takeover risk.
Prevent archive at webroot (./) because archive all is overload (archive can't work then).

P.S.
Also a question:  Can macros be run non-block/async? 
I ask because, if you run a macro loop in HFS then it is completely stuck until loop end (this condition serves 1 or zero users).

HTML & templates / Re: The "white" template: FTP-like, fewer functions

« on: February 12, 2021, 10:29:21 AM »

With:
Bold Folders, added label folder
added graceful auto error handler
added back label for easier navigation
HFS2.4: unauth forwards to Login  (no login buttons shown)
Upload & new folder (only shows for users that can upload)

Looks almost same, except easier.
