[ FEATURE ] Visual improvements suggestion list

[wimpyrbx]

I'll use this thread to include some findings of visual improvements that would be cool if would be evaluated as additions to psy, once a new template base has been put in place. These are examples and similar stuff could be used instead to achieve the same. If nothing else at least I've shared my thoughts :)

PIECHART
piechart to show number of episodes and divide between wanted, snatched, allowed etc.

SORTABLE TABLE
a quicker sortable table than the ones used on /home/ now. it's sluggish/slow to my feel.

ICON SET(S)

once ffprobe or similar is in play (if it happens) and we get codec metadata.. the possibility to display this information as icons would be very nice addition. also if the images can be put in sets so that the users can select which set they would want to use.
example:
slick/iconsets/set1/
slick/iconsets/set2/
etc.. with filenames being "1080p.png" in both sets.

FANART BACKGROUND
as introduced before and already used in sickrage fork. possibility to have fanart background at 0.1 opacity intervals in settings.

more to come :P

For reference; Plex web player also uses some nice icons to display resolution, media/audio codec etc.

Also; Messages like this:
"There is a newer version available (you're 2 commits behind)— Update Now" should not rearrange the page content. What i mean is that it should have a locked place where this notification shows up like on the top menu bar, instead of placing below top menu like now where it takes up place on the content.

Even better these notices could also be informed about using a notice icon like when you have errors in the log like this:

Show chooser could also be moved to the top bar so that it is available from whatever page you are at.

For /home/
Have the possibility to have a dropdown to select which shows to display.
Either ALL or a selected source directory

[wimpyrbx]

For renaming/scanning.
It would be brilliant to have something like this:

At the moment there is no way to see the progress of these tasks as they run in the background. Not sure entirely about the architecture behind these tasks and if this is possible to get back from Python while running, but it would be cool.

[wimpyrbx]

use ajax or similar calls to avoid page reloading when clicking "update kodi/plex", "rescan", "force full update" etc buttons.

Example: clicking rescan could just initialize the job in the background and then using ajax or similar one could every 5 seconds or so check if there is an ongoing rescan going on and have an icon like this:

https://www.ucs.br/site/static/img/capa2016/loading.gif

to indicate a job is running for that show.

Closing this as it has been added to the #282 Master Feature List to track all feature requests. Discussion specific to this feature can continue in this thread.
