Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver
^^ OK! Thanks for the help. Seems the code/ID I was using was no longer valid. I'ver change to another and I'm at least getting some results now (IHIGHWYC2). However, the display seemed different. Indeed I'm sure the layout strings for the superdatetime value were different or have changed? eg: It was displaying F instead of C for temps? When trying to display "high/low" (%Z) if only displays something line "HIGH 13°", which is odd given it shows the current temperature as 16°! This is explained down below in (*1) Also if I move forwards to days ahead (it offers me SUN, MON, TUE, WED), the time stops being displayed on the information. ie: The display is different yet again. After looking at a screenshot of what was my old settings I think the display config was changed. It had seeminging been changed to:- Code: Icon3-Line Line 1 & 2 On On %y: %v %z %t/%h %1 RAIN %x Line 1 format string (display 2): %s - %S Line 2 format string (display 2): %f %a(%c %g) (*1) Note it's showing the feels like temp instead of actual temp, hence why you get the odd result of today's high being lower than the temp it showing. My old setting, which I've now returned it to:- Code: Icon3-Line Line 1 & 2 On On %y %v %Z TEMP %T %1 Line 1 format string (display 2): %s - %S Line 2 format string (display 2): %f %a(%c %g) As a final comment on the days display (SUN, MON, TUE, WED) the time still is not shown? shuttle sn45g, athlon 3200+, 1024mb, xp pro (sp2), speedtouch780, squeeze box 3 slimserver version:7.4.1 - r28947 - operating system:windows xp - en - cp1252 - mysql version: 5.0.22-community-nt NeilF's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13059 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] Someone recommend me an Android app for my 10" tablet to control my sqeezebox please
Can't say I'm impressed with it :( 1) Moving down lists (eg: of artist or albums). The scroll bar on the right is fiddly. Sometimes it loses the fact you're still in the option. Just A-Z letters down the side would be easier, more reliable and more intuitive. 2) When presented with a list of songs. Why not have a couple of buttons - One to play now, and another to add to playlist, and a third to offer all other options. ie: Why do I have click on the track to then have another set of options. Why can't I just add it to the playlist via a single click? ie: Imagine trying to add 5 tracks to the play list. With a dedicated button (+") shown alongside each track, click-click-click-click-click, each done. But currently you have to duck in out of 5 sub menus. 3) Album art not appearing in lists (eg: search lists). Does in currently playing list though?

Orange Squeeze it is then... Shame none of the can use the greater screen space of a big tablet. I'd love the screen split up so there was a dedicated playlist showing on one side...

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Someone recommend me an Android app for my 10" tablet to control my sqeezebox please
Tried the free logitech one and a couple of things became obvious as problems to me:- 1) It really didn't use the 10" screen to best effect. 2) Moving around your music and playlist is a little painful. 3) You couldn't even re-organise the order of your playlist. With so much screen space I'd ideally like a playlist on the right, and the browser on the left. And you can just drag tracks across from the browser into your playlist. And indeed even drag the songs in your playlist into different orders... Anyonre care to recommend me an android app that will make good use of 10" of screen, and give a good friendly interface?

I removed the old/new SuperDateTime folders from plugins. I removed/unticked SuperDateTime from the plugins list and restarted. I then reticked it in plugins and restarted. There was no difference/improvement in the SDT display. Strangely there was no SDT folder created in my plugins? So, I unticked the plugin again (restarted). Installed SDT in the plugins folder manually, and reticked it again (restarted). There was still no difference/improvement in the SDT display. On the Squeezebox I get a cloud icon and the time, but no actual values at all (eg: Just "Temp" with no temperature after it). Is there anyway to see what version of SDT the SqueezeCenter things it's really running? And the fact when I unticked SDT in plugins, and even removed the SDT folder from plugins, my Squeezebox display looked exactly the same, maybe means that SDT isn't running on Squeezecenter even when it's ticked?

That seems to work perfectly apart from two things:- 1) In 'Now Playing' when holding play I get save playlist?

Yes, if you can detect where you came from, and when you exit (or the is an option) you return back there that sounds funky! + better IMHO to the stardard FF & REW behaviour which always takes you to 'Now Playing' I believe!? -- NeilF shuttle sn45g, athlon 3200+, 512mb, xp pro (sp2), netgear dg834gt, squeeze box 3 slimserver version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - windows xp - en - cp1252, perl version: 5.8.8 mswin32-x86-multi-thread, mysql version: 5.0.22-community-nt NeilF's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13059 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39114 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Apologies... Let's say I navigate to browse>artist>album>to a particular track. I then play that and want to FF thru a bit of it... I would expect to press FF and that's it. I would _not_ expect to have been taken out of 'browse>artist>album>track'. Why should I have been? Infact this is exactly what happens (strangely IMHO). So if I now want to play another track off that album, rather than just pressing down or up, I have to navigate all thru the menu from 'Now Playing' to 'browse>artist>album>track'? See where I'm coming from...? It never clicked before with the existing FF and REW that is throws you into 'Now Playing' rather than where you actually were. Mainly because it's somewhat painful to use, hence this entire thread :) So, it seems even with the existing FF and REW, once you've done it you're taken from where you were, to 'Now Playing'. And the best behaviour with the scanner plugin, is basically to replicate this... OK... Not ideal (IMHO) but ok(ish) :) Still think there should be FF and REW just like a CD player on the track you are and that's it...

Huh? All I want to do is FF and REW in a friendly manner... So in an ideal world (as the default FF and REW is clunky) find some easier way to FF or REW, eg: by using the 'scanner' plugin. What we've seemingly found so far is we can map a key to go directly to the scanner plugin, but then when you've finished with it and want to exit you are either:- a) Left in 'plugin' b) Left in 'now playing' Your solution seems even more removed from a friendly solution in that after you've FF or REW, after X seconds you return to Now Playing, and then on any key depression you're back in the scanner where you don't want to be (if you did you'd just press the specified key again?). On finally leaving the scanner (LEFT arrow) you are in 'plugin'. Or have have I mis-understood? I must admit the FF and REW functionality is a bit of a let down for me. The scanner plugin is far better than the default bahaviour, but on exit it leaves you away from where you were when going into it. eg: You have to navigate all the way back to the browse you were previously in...

As I previously said - maybe you missed it - I got it to work (to test it) by changing all definitions of play.hold to the suggested line. So at least while playing a track, holding play goes into it. The plugin works a treat but the problem is when you come out of it, rather than being where you previously were, you're in 'plugin'.
