Hello Duncan and Wout,
I fixed the issue where you can have ITEMS which may not be a tuple
(like in the case of web radio). So Duncan with the new patch you
should be able to use webserver without any modifications and
(hopefully) no crashes :-). Before adding child resources to twisted I
check to make sure the each item is a tuple. If you think users may
use lists, then we need to add that check as well. But I think we are
good to go for now.
As for images, I modified the code to scale images that are larger
than 800x600 to 200x200 (maintaining aspect ratio of course). Does
that answer your queries Wout? May be we can make the 800x600 value a
config variable. Or you guys decide what would be a proper value. This
change will speed up image downloads. Oh I also made sure that when
you click on the links the original image files are opened.
Yes I see that TV recordings work now. Excellent!
Regards,
Chandan
