Chippy,
I noticed the same thing a few releases ago of the squeezebox server
software. I found it was limited to the ticker style of text scroll.
Any plugin that uses the "ticker" style of text scrolling such as RSS
news feeds is jerky and can't be adjusted with the pixel rate settings
you mentioned above.
As a work around for SDT scores I changed "Text Scrolling" setting from
ticker to slide style on the SDT player setting page. Then I found that
at least on my Boom Squeezebox players the slide wouldn't work quite
right. I fixed that by changing a couple lines of code in the "sub
screensaverSuperDateTimelines" section of the plugin.pm file.
Around about line 6863 I changed from:
Code:
--------------------
$hash = { #Game center text
'overlay' => [ $overlay{$client} . $status, undef ],
'center' => [ $displayLine1{$client}, $displayLine2{$client} ],
};
--------------------
To:
Code:
--------------------
$hash = { #Game center text
'overlay' => [ $overlay{$client} . $status, undef ],
'center' => [ $displayLine1{$client}, undef ],
'line' => [ undef, $displayLine2{$client} ],
};
--------------------
Also around line 6877 I changed from:
Code:
--------------------
else { #Sport scores/stocks in large text
$hash = {
'overlay' => [ undef, $overlay{$client} . $status ],
$nowshowing{$client}{'justify'} => [ undef, $displayLine2{$client}],
};
}
--------------------
To:
Code:
--------------------
else { #Sport scores/stocks in large text
$hash = {
'overlay' => [ undef, $overlay{$client} . $status ],
'line' => [ undef, $displayLine2{$client} ],
};
}
--------------------
I'm not sure whether these changes will work for any other players. I
only have a Boom to test it on. In fact you may be able to get by with
just changing the Text Scroll setting to slide. The bug I had with the
slide setting may be limited to the Boom.
Let me know if it works for you.
Good luck,
Don
PS - Once you get the slide text scroll working you may also need to
increase the "Game Interval" value on the Advanced SDT setting page.
