I would recommend you to use Custom Clock applet instead of Information
Screen, it contains similar funtionality and works a lot better.

It's not currently possible with Information Screen. As I just
mentioned in the other thread, I think the way to go is to integrate it
with the Custom Clock applet. The reason is that I consider Information
Screen more or less obsolete and replaced by the Custom Clock applet.

Select "Manage Screen" and select to create a new screen. There are a number of templates available, if you after you have selected a new screen select the "Customize configuration" option at the bottom, you get to see the raw XML. You can step back with the back button in the web browser, change some option and click Next to see the difference in the XML. There is a separate "Mail" and "MythTV" plugin in my test repository which contains some extra templates. See bottom link on this page: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezeCenter_Repositories You create and edit the screens through the Information Screen settings page in the SBS web interface. The basic principles of the XML are: - skin: One of "getClockStyles" or "getStandardStyles" - style: One of the following values if skin="getStandardStyles": -- InformationScreenThreeLineText: Three lines of text -- InformationScreenThreeLineTextBlack: Three lines of text black background -- InformationScreenOriginalImage: Full screen image without zooming -- InformationScreenOriginalImageBlack: Full screen image without zooming, black background -- InformationScreenImage: Resized full screen image -- InformationScreenImageBlack: Resized full screen image, black background -- InformationScreenTwoImages: Resized two images -- InformationScreenTwoImagesBlack: Resized two images, black background -- InformationScreenSixImages: Resized six images -- InformationScreenSixImagesBlack: Resized six images, black background - style: One of the following values if skin="getClockStyles": -- InformationScreenClock: Big clock -- InformationScreenClockBlack: Big clock, black background -- InformationScreenClockAndNowPlaying: Big clock with now playing info -- InformationScreenClockAndNowPlayingBlack: Big clock with now playing info - style: Can also be one of the standard styles registered by other applets, for example "nowplaying" which is used by the Now Playing screen - preprocessing: Indicates that some preprocessing on the server should happen, possible values are: -- function: Calls a perl function in a plugin -- keyword: A title format keyword -- datetime: Current date/time -- artwork: Artwork of currently playing track - preprocessingData: Arguments used for extra data, depends on "preprocessing" element - item: A new item that should be shown on the screen - type: Type of item, can be one of: -- simplemenu: A menu -- label: A text -- text: Text, don't remember what differs it from "label" -- slider: A slider -- defaultleftbutton: Left navigation button -- defaultrightbutton: Right navigation button -- button: Button -- icon: An icon/image -- group: A group of other "item" -- menuitem: A menu item in "simplemenu" Unfortunately there isn't much documentation available, hopefully I get some time to improve it in the future. For now, I think the best way is to look at the XML of the different templates. The Now Playing template is a pretty advanced one. I suspect it might be a bit hard if you like to do a screen that's totally different than any of the templates available. Also note that different "style" value requires different structure of "item" elements. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Applets have to be manually reinstalled after a firmware upgrade in 7.4. In 7.5 there will be an option to activate automatic reinstall of previously installed applets after a firmware upgrade.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Information Screen (a configurable screen saver)
Hi Erland, after a couple of days playing I have found 2 things which you may or may not be able to fix. Firstly, when powering off the radio with the Power button it now takes 2 pushes. The first exits Information Screen and the second powers down the radio. Anyway, or making the first push power down? Secondly, when I have long artist names or song titles they disappear off the right of the screen. Have you thought of supporting scrolling in this case (this the native Now Playing screen)?

You say it will switch between all views in manage screens but I can delete or hide them, how? I only have the 3 default screens here, but do not know how to delete or hide them. Sorry if it is obvious! Also I have a screen configuration directory and a screen templates directory specified but they are not being used. The Screen configuration directory is still set to the default (the files didn't move when I changed this) and the template directory doesn't work as when I hit 'Download latest version of existing screens' in /Manage Screens it tells me I must specify a templates directory.

If you never want to show some of them, you will need to delete or hide them.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Information Screen (a configurable screen saver)
And in the same testing repository there is now also two plugins that enhances Information Screen with more template screens. MAIL PLUGIN = Indicate on the Touch, Radio or Controller when you have new mails in your mail box. It does this through the Information Screen screen saver. It should support POP3 and IMAP out of the box, if you like to use the SSL protocols you will need to install the Net::SSLeay module manually. MYTHTV PLUGIN (REQUIRES A MYTHTV BACKEND SERVER) == Plugin that will be able to indicate on Touch, Radio or Controller what's currently recording and what's about to be recorded in your MythTV media server. You will need the ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt and ~/.mythtv/config.xml files from your MythTV server if you run Squeezebox Server on a separate machine or as a separate user. You will need to setup the beta testing repository mentioned in the initial post in this thread to download and install these plugins into your Squeezebox Server 7.4. The plan is to enhance both these plugins so they also offer some browse menus to browse your mailbox or to browse TV guide and schedule recordings in MythTV. Currently I don't know when and if I'll get the time to do this, but it's still my plan. Some screenshots of the Mail plugin follows below. +---+ |Filename: mailnotification.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8062| +---+ -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info) (Install my plugins through Extension Downloader) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library, Title Switcher and Database Query plugins' (http://wiki.erland.isaksson.info/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67422 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Information Screen (a configurable screen saver)
Now when the Touch and Radio devices has been officially launched, it feels like a good idea to open this applet for beta testing by more people. Please, note that this is still a beta version but I like to offer it for testing to get some early feedback and new ideas. I'm personally using it daily on both my Touch and Radio beta testing units and it seems to work pretty good. Besides the Touch and Radio it also works on the Controller and Squeezeplay Desktop. For everyone that have used the previous alpha versions, this first beta version is the same as the last announced alhpa versions. It's a plugin/applet combination that makes it possible to configure what should be shown on a screen saver. A little bit similar to what MusicInfoSCR does on Classic players combined with Saver Switcher to switch between different kind of information. The plugin is currently bundled with a number of templates: - A now playing screen where you can configure which information you like to show, as an example, you can configure it to show any title format supported by Squeeze Center, for example those provided by the Custom Scan plugin. - A clock with configurable time and date formats - A configurable three line text screen where you can add the title formats of your choice, adjust the font size and it shows them over the whole screen and doesn't show any cover art. - A cover art screen that shows the cover art over the whole screen - A screen template for showing random album covers from your library The default configuration switches between the now playing and clock screen every fifth second, but you can change this and use any of the templates provides. To install you will need to setup my usual beta testing repository url in the Plugins tab (Extension Downloader) in Squeezebox Server 7.4: Code: http://erlandplugins.googlecode.com/svn/repository/trunk/testing.xml After you have configured this you will get a "Information Screen *Beta*" in the plugin list which you will need to install in your Squeezebox Server. Then after the plugin has been installed, you will have to goto "Settings/Advanced/Applet Installer" on the Touch, Radio or Controller. In the Applet Installer you will also find a "Information Screen *Beta*" applet which you need to install. Finally, you will need to select the new "Information Screen" screen saver on the Touch, Radio or Controller. You will find the configuration in Squeezebox Server Settings under Plugins/Information Screen/Manage screens. KNOWN LIMITATIONS - The volume controls doesn't exist in the Now Playing screen since they needed more lua code than I wanted to write at the moment. - The screen saver polls the server every fifth seconds to check if there are any updated information, due to this it can take a few seconds before you see visible feedback on the screen after you have clicked a button in the Now Playing screen. - Clicking on album covers in the screen template that shows random album covers currently doesn't work correctly on the touch, it's supposed to start to play the album you click on.
