Release note:
This plugin is written by BUYUKBANG to improve total performance of Azbox HD and add some
missing features! However its name remains as "Priority Manager", it now makes more than
its name offers. Here are the features of Priority Manager:
* Priority Manager automatically changes the priorities of the processes to give optimal
performance for the menu being used. I tested all processes one by one, decided their
effects on the performance of all modules and prepared a bug-free (hopefully) and complex
logic to cover all possible usage cases.
* Priority Manager provides power saving! Smudger's power measurements show that
Priority Manager decrease power consumption of the box from 25W to 23W while watching an
SD channel and from 28W to 24W while watching an HD channel.
* Priority Manager provides password protected hidden channel list feature. This will
cover missing function in Azbox and so that you will be able to prepare a separate hidden
channel list which you want hide from people not knowing your password. Default channel
list will be automatically replaced, so that any reboots / electricity problems will not
reveal this second channel list.
* Priority Manager can move plugins to internal HDD or USB storages.
* Priority Manager upgrades Busybox from v1.0 to v1.16.
* Priority Manager enables Cron usage.
* Priority Manager optionally automatically mounts CIF and NFS shares when remote server
is online and automatically unmounts CIF AND NFS shares when remote server is offline, so
protects file manager from freezes when remote goes offline after the shares mounted.
* Priority Manager optionally creates swap file on your HDD/Flash disk which will help
RAM by caching some part of the memory. Priority Manager not only supports creating swap
file on internal HDD or usb HDD/Flash disk connected before Azbox boots, it also supports
creating swap file on usb HDD/Flash disk connected after Azbox boots by continuously
checking for new USB devices.
* You can backup or restore /DISK2 and /PLUGINS folders with just a simple button from
user interface.
* Priority Manager optionally takes backup of /DISK2 and /PLUGINS folders in user defined
periods in background.
* Priority Manager can execute user selected programs after going into SLEEP mode and
the kill them after return from SLEEP mode. By using this feature running resource
intensive programs like transmission, aMule, azepgmgr in only SLEEP mode will be
automatically managed without user intervention.
* Priority Manager increases internal storage (DOM) speed speed up to 20% by changing
its working parameters.
* Priority Manager provides "Deep Sleep Mode" which automatically kills all unnecessary
applications and improve downloading speed when box goes to sleep mode.
* You can reset all system passwords with just a simple button from user interface.
* Up on deactivating or uninstalling Priority Manager, if related features activated in
/DISK2/etc/PriorityManagerSettings.txt, Busybox downgrades to the orginal version,swap file
and cron is deactivated all mounted shares are unmounted and plugins are moved back to
original place. A complete rollback without reboot requirement is performed.
