I've gone ahead and posted 5.9.7 to www.gregbrown.net. What's new: Added stuck monitor to determine when plugin appears stuck due to failed parsing during data refresh. Fixed NCAA football showing games on non-game days. Thanks BoomX2. Fixed weather.com and map parsing. Thanks Peter, BoomX2, and any others. Fixed HI/LOW shortened text. For non-graphical players plugin will no longer crash attempting to call setCustomChar (I hope). Removed Amazon associate links from settings page as they no longer support Illinois associates. :(
I apologize for neglecting the plugin in recent months. I'll try to do better going forward! Thanks everyone for posting fixes in this forum thread. I've done my best to incorporate them in this release. This release includes a stuck monitor that should catch when the plugin is 'stuck' in a data refresh. This happens if the plugin fails to parse HTML and the exception isn't caught. In this scenario if the plugin has failed to refresh completely in the time of two normal data refreshes the plugin will force a refresh automatically. If the HTML fails to parse again this process will repeat. In the past the plugin would be stuck until someone hit the '+' remote button or restarted the server. Failed parsing is often caused by special weather alerts or HTML tinkering being done by weather.com. The hope is the HTML will ultimately parse correctly and the plugin will automatically recover. Please let me know what you think. The server log will indicate warnings when a stuck refresh is detected. There will likely be a parsing error directly above that you can post to the forum, along with your weather identifier, to help enhancing the parsing to prevent it from happening again in a future release. --------------- I want to thank everyone that has supported the plugin development by donating via PayPal with the link provided on gregbrown.net or the plugin settigs page. --------------- I have a SuperDateTime repository available to make downloading/updating easy. This repo is usually updated faster than the main repo provided by Slim Devices. To use please navigate to: Server Settings -> Plugins and add the following repository to the 'Additional Repositories' section: http://gregbrown.net/squeeze/repo.xml This will add a 'SuperDateTime Repository' to the screen that will include an option to install the latest SuperDateTime version.
