@TAGinside thanks. What’s download station, and why would you use it?

I have my synology NAS, and have never heard of this.

| Ah, downloading movies and tv shows, I don’t do this anymore.

Merci beaucoup! A cool module and useful to me! A header and an auto hide-function would be cool, so that the module disappears when there are no active down- or uploads!

Thanks again and stay safe!

@sdetweil
Hello yes is for peer2peer downloads

TAGinside

@bugphunk

That’s a very good idea actually I have just a message. But I can add a header.

hey look my version 1.2 on branch master

This update enhances the MMM-Synology-Download_Station module with the following improvements:

Automatic module hiding: The module now automatically hides itself when there are no active or finished downloads to display, improving UI cleanliness and reducing clutter.

Header handling fix: Removed manual header creation in the DOM to prevent duplicate headers, relying on MagicMirror’s built-in header management for consistent appearance.

Icon color management: Moved icon color control from CSS to inline styles in the front-end JavaScript to ensure reliable color rendering of status icons across different environments.

New pause status icon: Added a distinct pause icon with appropriate styling for tasks in the paused state.

Code structure and style improvements: Cleaned up DOM generation logic for better readability and maintainability.

These changes provide a smoother user experience by making the module more dynamic and visually clear, while keeping the codebase clean and consistent with MagicMirror module development best practices.
