I think the code you want is actually in
mythtv/programs/mythbackend/httpstatus.cpp and is just proxied by
mythweb so lack of Perl/php shouldn't be a barrier.

A bit closer... I found the bit shifts ">>10" and changed them to ">>20"
for GB but still need to find where to change "MB" to "GB"...

Thanks,
Richard

It's a bit further down the same file:

int nUsed = g.attribute("used" , "0" ).toInt();

...

os << " <li>Space Used: ";
sRep = c.toString(nUsed) + " MB";
os << sRep << "</li>\r\n";

If it were me to avoid them getting out of sync I would move the >>10
and the naming of the units next to each other, by making the
attributed and nUsed and friends use bytes as the units, and doing the
shift in the latter bit of code right where the "MB" (or "GB") was
appended, but maybe that's just me and perhaps you are looking for the
smallest change to make.

Ian.

You could put a rule around it to scale the value to MB, GB, TB, or PB (or
higher) to keep the value within the 1 to 999 range and display to three
significant digits.

That will adapt to everybody's setup for a few years.

I don't disagree and thought about that, but that's beyond my C/C++
ability. As Ian said, I'm just looking for a minimal change.

Thanks,
Richard
