Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
I spent some time this evening playing. I addressed some of the bugs noted, and added some fields which were missing. The main change was to combine what were multiple wunderground queries (2 currently) into a single one, which should lower the number of counted "hits" by 1/2. It should have fixed the unrounded/rounded wu temps. Should have sunrise/sunset for current and today forecasts. I am just uploading the updated Plugin.pm file - but I had to "zip" it to get it to upload to the forum. +---+ |Filename: Plugin.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16831| +---+ tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=14327 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
Just wanted to give a thanks to all the work that people who can comprehend programming have done. I got the WeatherUnderground version working and so far so good on my Touch, heck there have been a few bugs that I've been dealing with since the last time it broke that never really got fixed, that are now working correctly, so I'm really happy with that. Since I don't really use the scores part anymore, I'm just glad to have the temp and forecast handy. It is amazing how used to seeing it there you get and what a shock it is when it stops working! Sure I could look it up on the iPad, but to just glance over and see the temp, damn that's handy.

You're doing a lot of work generating a PCM stream that is not 44.1kHz/16 but I have a feeling that you need tell LMS the stream format before you start stream audio data so that LMS know whether the player can play it the stream native or whether some processing is needed (e.g. if play is Sb3 and stream is 192kHz - LMS needs to set up resampling). So I think the plugin needs modification for non 44.1khz / 16 bit streams and offhand I do not know what needs to be changed. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102551 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

For the Radio/Touch/Controller icons, there are .png icons in a plugin sub-directory, and they are named to correspond to the 'icon' text (clear, cloudy, partlycloudy, etc.). I probably just named the wrong icon to "partlycloudy.png".

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] WaveInput Setup Troubles
I have been somewhat successful! After going with the solution in post 47 of this thread (the snd-aloop method) and overclocking my Pi's, I was able to play the stream with no problems to my clients. I essentially used arecord to grab my line in (with -D hw:0) and then pipe it to the virtual soundcard with the syntax "aplay -D hw:2,0" So I'm about halfway to my solution with this. Now, I just need to bring the audio recording/streaming up to 24 bits and 192 kHz sampling. However, if I try to set my format to S24_LE in the command line "arecord", it complains that it is not an acceptable format for aplay. When I change it to S32_LE, it apparently records fine. Then, I record from the looped soundcard and play it back on hw:0 and it plays fine out of my speakers (so I know the audio is recording/playing correctly). However, when I try to use the plugin in LMS, no sound comes out, and it goes from the pause icon back to the play icon after a few seconds. When I change the sample format back to S16_LE, it works fine. Same thing happens when I try to edit the format in the custom-convert.conf file. If I set it at S24_LE or S32_LE, the plugin responds the same way as I described before. I can modify the sample rate though with no issue (I have set it as high as 192 kHz with no problems). Does anyone have any ideas? To be explicit, I'll write out the commands I use/procedure I use below: 1. I type the statement "arecord -d0 -c2 -r44100 -fS16_LE -D hw:0 | aplay -D hw:2,0" into the terminal 2. I then use the favorite I named "Stream" with the URL "wavin:hw:2,1" 3. I get playback on my devices 4. If I change the "-f" field to S24_LE, I get an "aplay: set_params:1081: Sample format non available" error. However, I can definitely record and playback on my hw:0 card with S24_LE 5. If I change that "-f" field to S32_LE, it doesn't complain anymore 6. If I then use arecord -d0 -c2 -r44100 -fS32_LE -D hw:2,1 | aplay -D hw:0", I hear the music I'm recording play back out of my speakers fine. 7. When I use the WaveInput plugin, the button goes back to play a second or two after I push it 8. Changing settings in the custom-convert.conf file provides the same results I tried to check the log, but I see nothing unusual come up when I use the plugin. Just doesn't work. Any ideas?

Maybe there isn't one for partly cloudy on the Radio? FWIW, running LMS on Windows with a Radio and a Touch here in New England. Earlier today both showed the 'sunny' icon. Now they're both showing the 'overcast' icon. Both were/are correct at the time I looked. Although I never noticed a 'party cloudy' icon when in fact it was. Which is not to say the device wasn't showing it. I just wasn't looking. I will try to pay attention to it as tom'w is supposed to be party cloudy all day. > > 2.

The reason you get duplicate entries for COMPOSER is probably because
it's scanned both by Custom Tag and Mixed Tag scanning module. If you
are happy with the way LMS standard scanning scans for composers, keep
it in Mixed Tag scanning module settings in the "Composer tags" field.
If you want the Custom Scan scanning, keep it in the "Tags to Scan"
field on Custom Tag scanning module settings. You need to perform a
rescan with both Custom Tag and Mixed Tag scanning module for the
changes to take effect.

Hopefully this is also caused by the same problem as above.
Generally you should either mention a tag in the Custom Tag scanning
module or the Mixed Tag scanning module but not in both.

They are technical and was intended as a temporary solution until
Logitech implemented the real thing, unfortunately Logitech never
prioritized it and even though I try to do as much as possible the time
is limited when you also have to handle day job, family, ickStream and
other things. I know they are technical and confusing and hard to setup,
the advantage is that you can do pretty much whatever you want when you
understand them but the disadvantage is that it can be a bit challenging
in the beginning until you start to understand how it works.

It will only look at folders within the Music folder which you have
configured in LMS Settings/Basic tab, the Multi Library library will be
a subset of all music within the folder you have configured in LMS
Settings/Basic tab.
The "Included Directory x" parameters will help you specify that any
files within any of these directories should be included in the
library.
The "Excluded Directory x" parameters will help you specify that the
files in these directories should not be included.
So as an example, if you specify:
Included Directory 1: /mnt/music/folder1
Included Directory 2: /mnt/music/folder2
Excluded Directory 1: /mnt/music/folder1/subfolder1
It means that all music in /mnt/music/folder2 will be included and also
all music in /mnt/music/folder1 besides the file inside
/mnt/music/folder1/subfolder1
Another example is if you only define:
Excluded Directory 1: /mnt/music/folder1
This means that all music in the folder specified in LMS Settings/Basic
will be included except the files inside the /mnt/music/folder1
directory.

If you don't select any artists it means that the library won't be
affected.
If you select some artists in the "Only include tracks for selected
artists" list, it means that ONLY music from artists which have been
selected will be included.
If you select some artists in the "Exclude tracks for selected artists"
list, it means that all artists except the ones which have been selected
will be included.
You can unselect an artist by holding Ctrl when clicking it.
Genres checkboxes works the same as the artists list.
Generally, if you leave all parameters at the default you will get a
library with your whole music library but if you check/select/specify
parameters the library will be more restricted in which files it
includes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
A considerable improvement! Thanks so much for the work. Just to give you some feedback, here's how it works on older SB devices. On my Classic and Boom I have the same settings: Icon: On 3-Line: Off Line 1: %e %H %j Line 2: %y %v The devices display: [temp] [hum] [wind] [cloud icon] [current day of week] [one word forecast] The first line periodically changes, so I know it's getting updates. The second line does not change. Not sure what will be necessary to get it to cycle through current and future forecasts. I'm guessing on the Touch it shows all of them on the screen at the same time. I have switched the line 1 and line 2 parameters and the only difference is the positioning and font size (line one font is smaller than line 2).

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
Just a quick note to add: Unlike other services, Wunderground is _very_ strict with their API limits. Very, very, strict. They start you off with 3 "raindrops" which are exception allowances. Each time you exceed your limit (calls per day or calls per hour) you're charged a raindrop. After you hit zero raindrops, if you exceed your allowance they disable your API access for the remainder of the day in which your excess occurred. At least they send you email (almost in real-time) when they detect an overage. Ugh.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
Brilliant, *tcutting*. Absolutely wonderful job. Bravo for your service to the community and thank you! It's cool that you wrote this with no additional libraries, either. Makes it super-easy to install/use. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but people should be aware that there are *two* requests made for each period. One for "conditions" and other for "10dayforecast" -- so, you don't want to update your wx info any more frequently than once ever seven minutes or so, or you'll hit the free limit of your API. I'm currently using a forecast interval of 10 minutes with *tcutting*'s code. Note that you can see the API data (how frequently you've invoked the API) on the Wunderground API page. Anyone who's interested in advancing *tcutting*'s work, in case you're not aware, you can combine multiple requests into one as follows: http://api.wunderground.com/api//conditions/forecast10day/q/03057.json I've been assuming this counts as one API invocation (because it's all done in one call) for the purposes of metering... but I'm not certain. Now that *tcutting *has blessed us with a short-term solution that meets many of my requirements, I'm going to chill about this for a while. Then I'll determine whether I help advance *tcutting*'s work to date, or continue down my own path (which is *significantly* more disruptive to the structure of Greg's original code). One final time for now: Thank you *tcutting*. Thanks for your work on this problem, and thanks for sharing.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
Great! Thank you so much, tcutting. Works right out of the box. I get data for at least 5 days (did not try more yet). Everything is there: (long) day, date, temperature, high, low, pressure, humidity, wind, windspeed, rain, skycondition. And there is more I have to try, sunrise and sunset for example. Icons on the Touch seem to be ok, but I am not shure for the 4. and 5. day. May not be implemented yet. Boom is as before, great, Classic I did not try. Long day used to be short, is there a file where I can change the translations? At the settings page I do not get the contents of the string.txt file. You have to fill in the WU-key where you suppose it is right. Settingspages of the players are blank also except for the boxes to fill in the parameters. Thanks again.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Max2Play Webinterface for Mediaclients (Audioplayer, Squeezeserver, Airplay, XBMC)
Hi Jason, thanks for your feedback! We always test the WiFi-USB-sticks we sell to make sure they work with the device. It is not that easy to install the missing drivers. If you want to upgrade to a newer version of Max2Play this might become a problem. As a solution, I would suggest that you get the WiFi dongle directly from the hardkernel website rather than investing a lot of time in adepting the current Image for your WiFi dongle. Problems are: drivers for ARM-platform, power-save mode of wifi device, etc... Anyway - if you want to know more about your current (not working) wifi-dongle: use putty to ssh to the max2play device. User is "root" and password is "max2play". Then plugin in the dongle and type "dmesg". This will get you an output of the device name and maybe more helpful information. 2 x Max2Play on ODROID U2/U3 with LMS, Squeezelite, Shairport, XBMC 1 x Squeezebox Receiver 1 x Denon 1713 AVR + Nubert 5.1 System iPeng Max2Play-Image for ODROID: http://shop.max2play.com/de/image-max2play flysurfer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61064 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101856 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
