No renderers, still info in System Information list - JST1963 - 11-28-2019

Hi moOde fans,


RE: No renderers, still info in System Information list - DRONE7 - 11-28-2019

You see where it says "OFF" next to each feature not in use ?? ;-)

If the info was left out 1) Users would want more info. 2)Users would not be aware of some features.

Hi moOde fans,

Sysinfo's main purpose is to document all the important settings. I tend to agree with @DRONE7 that omitting sections because the feature is simply turned off might cause confusion.

There is a Features Availability Bitmask that can be used to control whether a particular feature is visible in the UI. For example if you are never ever, ever going to use Spotify and don't want to see it in the UI or in System info then you can set the bitmask to the appropriate value and Spotify will disappear.

Well, I need a way to see all the important settings in one snapshot regardless of whether a setting is on or off. Also leaving all the sections in place enables easy debugging of the Sysinfo script itself. The last bug was in the Airplay section.

That first sentence resonates with me. I think the snapshot should be a diagnostic tool. If users post the output (unedited please!)  then others can quickly grasp the current status without having to fill in the missing bits from memory.
