I didn't understand the previous reply regarding finding a different source for the PlugIn, updated to use weather.com instead of weatherunderground.com. Now that I see you've directed me to a different source for the PlugIn, I've tried that. It seems to update the list of PlugIns within the LMS Server Settings, but there is no PlugIn to select. Do I need a newer version of LMS? Is there something else I need to do in order for the PlugIn to load (yes, the service was restarted). Here is a screenshot ( LMSsettingsWeatherSuperDateTime.JPG) of what I see. (Sorry, navigation in this forums.slimdevices.com is confusing, seems like the parent/child thread relationship is just difficult to decipher. I hope I am replying to the original thread and can find the answers. Why does the forum always ask for a Title? I want the title to be the thread I am currently replying to.) +---+ |Filename: LMSsettingsWeatherSuperDateTime.JPG | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=25556| +---+ George geoperkins's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6291 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
I have just installed the 'Super Date Time' PlugIn (from http://superdatetimewu.sourceforge.net/repo.xml). The Settings for this PlugIn require a Weather Underground API developer key. However, when I do a Google search for such a key all I find is the announcements regarding Weather Underground's removal of the free API keys. See https://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/ Is there a public domain or known API key that will work with this Squeezebox PlugIn? Since WU is not offering a free API key for hobbyists, is anyone updating 'Super Date Time' to use a different free weather service? It is not clear whether the most basic level of Weather Underground API is free or not, there is some confusing information on their website. I went ahead and registered and filled in the "business" inquiring to obtain a Weather Data Package, but it appears that is designed for one of their sales people to harvest prospects and I am not likely to generate sales revenue, so don't expect anything. I poked around on the Weather Underground website and find it poorly organized and full of broken links. Not impressive. :( George geoperkins's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6291 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] Weather, Date, and Time v2.2.2 via wunderground still working?
I am confused, because after I updated to the last Logitect Media Server version (7.7.6 - 1521467459 @ Thu Mar 29 16:46:01 WEDT 2018) there does not seem to be any way to set a screen saver to display a weather forecast. Frankly I don't go into these settings often enough to remember what they were on the prior version. What do you mean by "changing the station number in SDT" - what is SDT? Should I be installing a different open-source release of the Squeeze Server software, and would it have a weather screen saver app plugin for the Classic player?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Weather, Date, and Time v2.2.2 via wunderground still working?
Finally getting around to attempting to troubleshoot. I found this announcement on Weather Underground (https://github.com/initialstate/wunderground-sensehat/wiki/Part-1.-How-to-Use-the-Wunderground-API) "NOTE: As of May 15, 2018, Wunderground and IBM have stopped providing free API keys. :( In order to use the Wunderground API, you first need your own API key. Getting an API key is quick and free. Go to http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/?MR=1. Click 'Sign Up for FREE!'." So I suspect that my symptom started around May 15 2018. Today I updated from SqueezeBox Server from 7.2 to 7.7.6 and then checked the logs and settings trying to see if the weather forecast would show up on my SqueezeBox Classic, but it is not. :( In the server log I see this error - Slim::Utils::Misc::msg (1311) Warning: Weather::Wunderground: ERROR No response from weather server while loading data: ERROR while getting resource http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=MSN : 500 Internal Server Error When I open that URL in a web browser I get the following message on wunderground.com's web site: An error occured: backend failure So... Any ideas how to fix this?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
I used the extension downloader to install the beta SvrPowerConrol plugin into Squeezebox Server 7.4.1 and it froze the Squeezebox Server (squeezesvr.exe). I could not stop or restart the service using the Squeeze Tray applet. I could not stop, restart the service using the Windows MMC services. I had to use Task Manager and kill the process. Then did an uninstall and a new re-install. A result of the re-install I lost all of my settings, etc., which had to be manually re-entered. Ouch. Needless to say, I will not be doing any more beta testing! :) I am running Squeezebox Server on Windows XP SP3. I would really, really like to be green and manage my server standby state based on the activity of the Squeezebox players. There is no reason to be running the server 24x7 when the music players are not on. Logitech, are you listening?!? This is definitely a consumer product feature requirement. Thank you to the community for trying to fix the Logitech gap. I'll continue to monitor this thread in hopes something stable results. -- geoperkins George geoperkins's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6291 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: FindArt plugin beta
I have SqueezeCenter 7.3.3 and successfully used the FindArt extension on a couple of test albums. Then got busy for a week or so with other things to do. Came back to SqueezeCenter with some spare time, thought I'd download some album cover art for my player. I click to search for album cover art, and now I consistently get HTTP error downloading page error message - no cover.jpg art!! I didn't change anything at this end. I've restarted the WinXP server hosting SqueezeCenter and I've powered off/on the SqueezeBox (firmware 127). What happened to the FindArt plugin that it no longer can access the Amazon.com (USA) website??? -- geoperkins George geoperkins's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6291 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49245 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Beta version of SvrPowerControl
I have been waiting for a good power save utility for my SqueezeBox music network since before Logitech bought SlimDevices. It is really nice to see something on the cusp of realization. I am hopeful Logitech will reward the author of this endeavor for the hard work. But for now it is freeware and I can only hope out of the goodness of the collective hearts of those working on PowerSave that you can help me. I have read this entire thread and also http://bitflip.net/slim/. Somewhere reference was made to detailed installation instructions (a readme file), perhaps a link on the SqueezeCenter settings. I can't find the instructions anywhere. What am I missing? On the SC 7.3.3. Web GUI I see PowerSave (v7.0r1) [i] Settings with a hyperlink for Settings, but no instructions. These settings are very basic, namely, [x] Enable PowerSave Set PowerSave Idle Time [15 Minutes] [v] Set PowerSave Activation [PowerSave Always] [v] I understand I need to set up WOL for my SqueezeCenter server to wake after a suspend, and installation of a psshutdown.exe and possibly other changes to my Windows XP system (PATH, etc.) but these details are not clear (especially if they are buried in 10 pages of forum QA). This may be obvious to those of you who read source code and compile your own systems. But for the rest of us, it just ain't so. And I consider myself to be pretty technical, being paid for a career in systems administration and support of 300 server + 5,000 PC user organization. I know the disclaimer that this is beta; but all the more reason for good documentation that is easy to find.
