Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
Hey all, Sorry for abandoning the plugin a few years back. If you were wondering what happened to me, I ultimately moved to Japan for work, sold my place, and all my Squeeze hardware went into storage. Without any hardware, endless parsing updates, and Logitech dropping support I lost my drive. I'm back living stateside, but all my stuff from before is still in storage. Instead I've been using Sonos... I like the simplicity, but there's no screen so no SDT... I'm glad to see that the community has kept SDT going. Great work. SDP completely dropped out of my mind until now... there's a website that I need to parse for other reasons and it resurfaced.

I think what you have described accomplishes what I'd be looking for, that is: If viewing current conditions don't shift. -- YES If viewing today and it changes to 'observed' then switch to tonight. -- YES If viewing tonight and today is no longer 'observed' switch to today. -- YES If viewing other (10day/custom/etc.) don't shift. -- I never look this far out, but this seems reasonable. Would love to see this implemented, although I realize I may be a party of 1 looking for this change. H. I wasn't thinking about Touch user's who use Custom Clock. My solution was for non-CustomClock players and I'd basically simulate the up/down remote button press based on the above conditions. To make CustomClock happy I'd actually have to shift the data as that's how Custom Clock gets its data from SDT. Shifting the raw data is a bit more tricky. I'll have to think about that more... perhaps Erland can provide a setting to simulate the same... -Greg GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 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

In my case, the high/low temperature (%f) switches from a prediction to observed and the precipitation probability (%x) switches from a prediction to a blank. Like all of us, I hope this can be fixed. Two other nits. In my script I use %y to state each period. %y generates Tonight in upper and lower case and TOMORROW in caps. Any way to make consistent? Also, %x generates PRECIP 20% or RAIN 10% (all caps) while most of the rest of the criteria generate upper and lower case results (e.g., High 77% or Partly Cloudy). Once again, any way to make consistent? Of course I want to be consistent. In this case it sounds like you're using Custom Clock on a Touch as non-touch players automatically show in all caps when presenting. Custom Clock pulls raw data from SDT via API so it's grabbing inconsistently stored data. I can easily make them all consistent so that Custom Clock gets them that way. What is desired- Rain vs RAIN I assume?

There may be ways to simulate the old way, but they likely require a rewrite to how SDT processes its data retrieval and caching between players and data refreshes. SDT is just a hobby for me. Unlike Custom Clock the plugin is free and very few people donate. With hosting fees I probably provide it at a lost financially not even considering the time spent coding.

ajkidle wrote: Hi Greg - just wondering where things stand with this. Are you expecting a beta 3? Also, any update on the feasibility of restoring the old behavior? The usefulness of forecasts on my Touch/Radio has diminished quite a bit resulting from weather.com's redesign. Sure would be nice if they provided a more stable data source. I forgot to post it here, but I actually posted 5.9.16. I'll do a formal post in a second. As for feasibility... all the data that was provided previously is still posted, it's just that you now have to hit up/down instead of it automatically shifting throughout the day. It's funny because way back when I recall people complaining the opposite that they wish it stayed on the last selected mode instead of automatically shifting! So what is the ideal case- If viewing current conditions don't shift. If viewing today and it changes to 'observed' then switch to tonight. If viewing tonight and today is no longer 'observed' switch to today. If viewing other (10day/custom/etc.) don't shift. I have to dive into the refresh code but I could probably implement this.

Instead, it tells me Observed Today is cloudy with a high of 40. A criticism towards weather.com ... shouldn't a weather forecast be, well I don't know, a -forecast- about the -future-?! Greg, are you forced to pull the data in this manner because of the new site layout? Or is it possible to have things they way they used to be? I think most users of your plugin are used to the prior behavior. I fear I'll shift my problem 12/24 hours forward if I pull period 1 instead of period 0, but I'll give it a try. Right... I agree, I like the old way better and yes it's because of how weather.com is now presenting their data. Each placeholder in their page used to automatically shift throughout the day and instead now they stay the same and become that 'observed' stuff.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
Attached is 5.9.15b2. I've made many updates to the parsing logic as I have found some notable differences in some of the content by location and snow vs. rain. As part of the snow vs. rain changes you'll likely need to update the display preferences for each player not to include 'RAIN' as 'RAIN' or 'SNOW' is now included as part of %x. To match with weather.com's new way of presenting data 1/2 of the day there will be a 'TODAY' and the other half will be 'OBSERVED TODAY'. Observed today represents the overall conditions that have occurred today as well as what the observed high was. Hit up/down on the remote in the morning vs. evening and you'll see what I mean. Please let me know how it goes. If you experience any '-' in the upper right hand corner please look at the logs to see what is failing and also provide me with what weather identifier you're using.

I've gone ahead and posted 5.9.14 Alpha 2 to http://code.google.com/p/grebrown-projects/downloads/list . As mentioned previously you'll need to manually install this version verses using the repository. Once I have a more final version I will post it to the repository. In this version I've continued my focus on fixing parsing issues related to more common display items. Since the content is now spread on more pages I have to make extra HTTP fetches and had to tweak some of the related logic and refresh dependencies. I also fixed the 'Donate' link accessible from the plugin setting page (hint hint!). You can also donate via gregbrown.net. All donations are much appreciated and encourage continued support. What's next- -Fixing MLB parsing (yes it appears to have just broke too...) -Correcting parsing on more of the missing fields -With the new page layout the number of possible periods is now variable based on time of day- Current/Today/Tonight/Tomorrow/Tomorrow Night. 'Today' disappears after a certain point in the current day. Previously it was a fixed number where if today was no longer relevant then tomorrow night would appear but now tomorrow night is always available. As such I need to evaluate how to best get the extra period in there dynamically. Hopefully I didn't hardcode any array/hash lengths previously. -Previously the long weather description text was all on a separate page.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
Looks like weather.com revamped their site as part of their 30th anniversary. For current, today, and tomorrow I think we'll have to hit three pages (http://www.weather.com/weather/tomorrow/60614 too) instead of 1. Ugh. -Greg BoomX2 wrote: I also noticed that SDT started having problems parsing weather.com at about 8 PM local last night for me. With just a quick look at the changes weather.com made to their site I can see this update will take a while to work through. The information that used to be parsed out of one URL has been spread across at least 2 URLS. For example what used to be on http://www.weather.com/weather/today/66062 is now on http://www.weather.com/weather/right-now/66062 and http://www.weather.com/weather/today/66062 I'm pretty tied up for the next few days, but might be able to take a hack at it later this weekend unless someone else can get to it sooner.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
Given the weather.com overhaul there's a good amount of HTML fetching and parsing to fix. As I make updates to correct I'm going to post 5.9.14 'alphas'. If you're interesting in using them you'll have to manually install instead of using a repository. Once everything is looking pretty good I'll post a release to the repository. Alpha 1 is posted to to http://code.google.com/p/grebrown-projects/downloads/list. It includes the more 'common' current condition data elements (temp, hi/lo, conditions, precip, humidity, dewpoint, icon). Use up/down on your remote until you're viewing that particular view. The other views won't look right until I get to them. I'm also doing my best to 'wrap/catch' parsing exceptions so that if any HTML tags break going forward it'll be less likely to bring the whole plugin down.

Today I saw a tornado watch appear on my Boom, a real rarity in Philadelphia, even though a tornado touched down last week and added on to the excitement from an earthquake, yet another rarity that was felt by few, days before. I wanted to see what folks thought about adding an audible alarm that would draw our attention to severe weather alerts. We have a lot of options in how we control the alarm clock, so a severe weather alert with similar audible features might meet most peoples preferences. Would you consider adding this feature? I'd love to hear what others think too. Hi Joe- Thanks for the suggestion. This was either discussed before or maybe I just contemplated it when I added the weather alert support. Audible alerts would be cool but they present some challenges. Which players should the alert be played on? If the player is off should it turn it on and play the alert? What if there's an existing playlist? Should it add or wipe out the existing alert? What if repeat is enabled? Any different behavior if a player is already on? What about volume levels or if a player is on mute? What also complicates things is that the code would have to keep track of alerts that it's already done an audible alert for. Currently the code sort of wipes the data state with each data refresh so the alert would play over and over with each refresh. None of these things are rocket science to handle, but would require many configuration options to make everyone happy. In the end it would likely over complicate the configuration. I'm also a bit cautious on any liability that comes with it. :) So in the end at the time I decided it wasn't a path to go down :) Of course that could always change depending on feedback.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
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.

tcutting;581032 Wrote: I've always (at least as long as I can remember) had similar display on the Controller, so I don't think that's due to latest update. Also, I've asked the question before about how to format on SB3 or Boom for extended forecasts, and never got an answer. Codes work for current, and next couple time periods, but beyond that they seem to display what they want, and couldn't find anyway to change. The extended forecasts are actually somewhat configurable. I know I outlined it in a post somewhere in this thread... regardless... you have to go edit the preference file yourself and restart SqueezeServer. In Windows they're in- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Squeezebox\prefs\plugin\superdatetime.prefs For each player you'll see something like- weatherformat1b: - %t/%h %1 - %_5/%_7 weatherformat1t: - %y: %v - %_3: %_0 weatherformat2b: - %f %a(%c %g) - %_0 weatherformat2t: - %s - %S - %_3: %_5/%_7 1b refers to screen 1 bottom, 1t is screen 1 top. Same for 2 if you have a Transporter. The first line for each is the display preference for the non-extended periods. These are set via the normal player config screens. The second line for each is for the extended forecasts (the ones you want to change). For these you have to edit the preference file manually and restart. They have their own % macros- %_3 ='day'}/; %_4 ='date'}/; %_5 ='highF'}°/; %_6 ='highC'}°/; %_7 ='lowF'}°/; %_8 ='lowC'}°/; %_9 ='precip'}/; %_0 ='condition'}/; If you have 'custom' period displays these show up after the first two.

plympton;565165 Wrote: Greg, Any way you can post your parsing methodology? Since this seems to happen fairly frequently, it might be better to teach us how to fish, so to speak. :-) Hey Dan- Basically each data provider in the plugin has a 'get' and a 'got' subroutine. The 'get' makes a asynchronous HTTP request and the 'got' is run when the HTML response comes back. It then parses the HTML. I used to just use regular expressions to parse the response HTML line by line, but that was pretty tedious and not very efficient. For most parsing I now use a HTML tree builder library that parses the HTML as a tree that I then walk to find the data elements I need. You can look at the 'gotWeather' routine for an example. Another thought - I wonder if it's possible to abstract the parsing a bit so it's read from a config file? Something along the lines of skipping X characters for Y field, or skipping to XX string for Y field? This way we could just figure out the new format and post the config file changes. I'd be willing to help out getting it prototyped, but I don't want to go through the Perl brute-force figuring out what you're doing. You know my love of Perl. :-) This has been discussed a few times in the past and I appreciate the offer to help. Unfortunately given the complexity of their HTML and flexible nature of HTML I don't think there'd be an easy way to abstract the parsing logic. -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 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

To have a better understanding please navigate to http://www.weather.com/weather/today/Munich+Germany+GMXX0087 in a web browser. From this web page you'll see that it shows current conditions and a section for 'Next 36 Hours'. As you hit the up/down remote buttons the display alternates between current conditions and various periods. By default the names of these periods will be shown on the top line if you're using a font that supports 2lines. The period names will be something like 'Today', 'Tonight', 'Tomorrow' and they will automatically shift as the day goes by based on time of day. The high/low shown will match whatever is shown for that period on the web page. Only either high or low are shown per period. Basically only one of them actually makes sense. In the morning the low has already been reached so you should care most about the high. In the evening the high has already been reached so you should only care about the low. Make sense?

Next make sure you're viewing the correct period. You can cycle periods via the up/down remote buttons. Some periods have icons no matter what, but you don't need those. Just keep hitting up/down until you find one that you want. -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 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

stevekgoodwin;540030 Wrote: Thanks Greg, that will be great but there's no rush. Nappies and work are time consuming things. If I get to needing the latest cut I'll let you know. To prevent collisions each SDT extension could ask for a %prefix, although I'm not sure programmatically is the right approach. If the allocated prefix was not consistent it would be annoying for users as one person's config won't be transferable (or even as Slimserver versions change and the SDT extensions are not updated in sync). Maybe it's an registration system? I could grab (say) %XA[.*] and the next thing could have %XB[.*] and so on. Which breaks the printf model a bit but shouldn't matter. The only caveat with the addMacro thing I'll need is to make sure the macros are replaced in the order they're added (eg array vs hash) to make sure %X10 and %X1 don't cause weirdness. Thanks! Steve. For now to keep things simple I'm allowing a custom plugin to register whatever macro it wants. It'll be up to the plugin developer to ensure that they're not using a duplicate. On my CTA bus tracker plugin that I'm working on I allow the custom plugin user to define the macro name. -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 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
Anyone live in Chicago? I created a new plugin that utilizes SuperDateTime's external API to display configurable bus ETAs. By using the external API I was able to create this plugin in a matter of hours, pretty cool. I figured I'd release this on a smaller audience to get any feedback before posting it officially on the website and main repo. Please give it a shot by adding the following repo- http://www.gregbrown.net/squeeze/repo2.xml . When configuring you'll see that it supports custom % display macros. These work the same way as % macros work in SuperDateTime. Basically you'll define a custom macro for a particular route you're receiving and then you can use it in SuperDateTimes player settings like any other macro. You'll need SuperDateTime 5.8.16, which isn't out yet for the custom macro functionality :) though so please don't configure any custom ones yet! -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 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

stevekgoodwin;537036 Wrote: Thanks! Definitely the way to go, although I think I need to enhance the extension mechanism slightly. I've had a look into OceanTides and the others, and they seem to create their own page of data to display. What I'd like to do is to piggy back onto the printf style %X mechanism in the replaceMacros function -- that way users can choose information from different providers on the same screen -- I don't think that's possible with the extension API? If replaceMacros called replaceMacros in extension modules. That'd be handy! If that's the right approach let me know -- I'm happy to suggest/code the change to the core SuperDateTime to support this. A potential issue clashing with future % codes. My code uses %X[FMK]\d+(eg %X3 or %XF99. \d is 1-99, and optional letter specifies a conversion to Fahrenheit/Miles/Knots). My other thought is that in a perfect world where you got paid for this (!) it'd be nifty to refactor the various core providers into their own SuperDateTiem extensions (eg one for MLB and NLA, wunderground, etc). That could encourage more take-up of extensions (although create a bit of work in the first place for probably very little gain). (Aussie users, give me a few weeks to get this fit for human consumption, new baby etc). Ahh... that's correct. I do not currently provide a mechanism to have your own % macro data. I only allow additional cycling items. Good idea but might be a little tricky to implement. Would probably need to make them %x and we'd run into the risk of two plugins using the same . Outside of weather it would have been 'cleaner' to have each of the data providers be standalone plugins that use the API, but then each of them would have to have their own configuration, etc and it'd be a pain to keep them all current with any changes necessary for them to keep working with changes to Squeezebox server. -Greg -- GoCubs GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 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

I've gone ahead and added a new Perl sub that allows you to add your
own custom % macros. It's very simple-
addMacro('%X1234','VALUE');
SDT will basically search for whatever value you pass in as argument 1
and replace it with argument 2 with each data refresh. Call addMacro
for each custom macro you'd like to add.
This will be in 5.8.16. Not sure when I'll post it, but if you're
ready for it lemme know and I can quickly post.
Thanks

If you know a bit of perl you need to expand the .par file (it's just a zip (into the parent directory)) and then edit Plugin.pm and remove getLongWeather in %providers around line 224. Comment out the getLongWeather bit with a hash and change the last , in the previous line to ); Worked for me, but I don't rely on anything its fetching. my %providers = ( ..snip.. '11' = \getStocks); # '12' = \getLongWeather); In other news I've written a new provider to go fetch info from bom.gov.au. It's official weather and more regularly updated than weather.com, and sometimes less weird than wunderground's results (it also has better coverage than weather.com) Handily bom.gov.au provides data 3 formats, so no HTML scraping (I've got a Squeezbox V3). Is this the sort of thing that should be tidied up and placed into the main branch? Or should it remain an oddity? However... the more of these things placed into the main branch the further it diverges from its original intent, and I really don't expect the original author to have too much interest in maintaining Australian weather. I haven't gone to the length of updating the UI at the moment. Happy to do that if there's interest. (I apologise if this has been covered in some shape or form, 150+ is too many to read). Good to see someone expanding the functionality of the plugin. Instead of altering SuperDateTime's plugin.pm SDT does expose some functions via an API for making a independent plugin that adds a data provider to SDT to easily add its own display content. If you search the forums I've provided some details on the API in the past, you can also look at http://gregbrown.net/squeeze/SuperDateTime/OceanTides/OceanTides1-1-0.zip for a dated (may need tweaks to work with latest Squeeze Server) example. There are a couple more examples at http://code.google.com/p/mdmplugins/ Like you said instead of bloating SDT for something like this it'd be best to create a simple plugin that SDT calls when it's doing refreshes that will handle the new parsing and pass back the additional display info.
