I did not want to name this FuzzyTime, I wanted to modify this to *work with* FuzzyTime! FuzzyTime already exists; it's a plugin that acts as a screensaver and time source for other plugins. Its purpose is to let users configure a particular player to display time some minutes "fast" compared to the real time. My wife likes to keep the bedroom clock set a few minutes fast to help scare us into moving faster in the morning. I wrote FuzzyTime to increase the odds of her approving another Squeezebox purchase. :-) http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html The "FuzzyTime for other Plugin developers" section has more information about modifying other plugins to support FuzzyTime in a way that does not require FuzzyTime to be installed, and that will show "normal" time if FuzzyTime has been disabled or not configured to "lie" about the time for a particular client. Generally, supporting FuzzyTime means replacing calls to TimeF() and time() with calls that use FuzzyTime "public" APIs. Here's how simple it was to modify SuperDateTime 4.x for FuzzyTime: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyPlugins/SuperDateTime.patch -Peter -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ free plugins: http://www.tux.org/~peterw/#slim BlankSaver BottleRocket FuzzyTime SaverSwitcher SleepFade StatusFirst VolumeLock ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32975 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
