A new version of Custom Clock is now available, this time with a number of pretty cool new features.
- Added integration with SuperDateTime plugin (new item types sdttext, sdticon, sdtsporttext) - Added integration with Song Info plugin (new item type songinfoicon) - Added Spectrum Visualizer (new item type spectrummeter) - Added integration with Picture Gallery plugin - Added support for single digit months, days, hours through (%m1, %d1, %H1, %I1, %m1 keywords in timetext items) - Made it possible to create a visualizer/vumeter that shows a single channel - Bundled a lot of the earlier posted styles so they are available by default. *** CREDITS TO CONTRIBUTORS *** This release wouldn't have been possible without the following contributors, give them all the credit they deserve: - *Michael (mherger)*: Did API adjustments in the Picture Gallery plugin to make the integration possible. - *Greg (GoCubs)*: Did API adjustments in SuperDateTime to make the integration possible. - *Dan (plympton)*: Did API adjustments in SuperDateTime, contributed code to Custom Clock and provided the SuperDateTime styles for the Touch - *jstraw*: Provided the excellent VU meter graphics for VU meter styles - *Rikk*: Provided the excellent graphics for the Cassetta and Notturno and SimpleGrayClock styles - *tcutting*: Provided the SimpleGrayClock style configuration Now some more explanation about the new major features and what you can do with them, I've attached some screen shots to show some concepts. Note that the screenshots are taken with Desktop SqueezePlay, due to this there are some artifacts in them that don't exists on the real devices. SUPERDATETIME PLUGIN INTEGRATION Do you want weather combined with other kind of information ? This is what this integration makes possible, you can mix the sdt* item types with any other item times. The sdtsportstyle will be improved in the next release but it can already know be used to create a Custom Clock style that shows the latest game scores of your favorite teams supported by SuperDateTime. NOTE! The sdttext item requires a new not yet released version of SuperDateTime, so unfortunately you aren't going to accomplish something like the screen shots yet. The good news is that Greg and Dan is working on finishing the new release so it should soon be available. If you are desperate and can't wait, there is a beta version in the following thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=541843#post541843 PICTURE GALLERY PLUGIN INTEGRATION Ever wanted to show your own photos and combined them with other information ? For example, showing currently playing artist or the current time/date ? This is now possible through the new "galleryicon" item which shows random images from a favorite image list defined in Picture Gallery plugin. SONG INFO PLUGIN INTEGRATION Do you like album covers ? Are you tired of always showing the same image when a specific album is played ? You don't have album covers in your library but want to show them anyway ? If this is the case you should look at the new "songinfoicon" item type which makes it possible to get random images from any image source supported by the Song Info plugin. If this sounds interesting you should really try the bundled "LastFM Artist Image with visualizer" style. It rotate artist images of the currently playing artist on the left half of the screen and show a spectrum visualizer on the right half of the screen. It's hard to explain all these integrations in text, you really need to try them to get a feeling what's possible. Remember that for a specific integration to work you need to install the corresponding plugin in your SBS. This of course also means that these integrations won't work on the built-in server (TinySC) on the Touch. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: SDTRadio.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=9816| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68269 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
