Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
Hello all, Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I have ceased maintaining this plugin, as I no longer have any need to use it. Unfortunately this has co-incided with a major change to the Live Departures website, which this plugin scrapes, thereby rendering the plugin broken. I've put the code on github [1] if anyone wishes to fork it and get it going again. The necessary changes will be to UKStandardRoute.pm.doParseContent(). I also notice that the query URLs have been changed (although the old ones still work) but it may be worthwhile changing those too. I did start work on a plugin for the SBC (way back when it was still called Jive) which could be resurrected too.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
The plugin stopped working for me over a week ago. This is from the
logfile:
Plugins::LiveDepartures::UKStandardRoute::doParseContent (414) fatal
error: expected Train Departures or Bus Departures in first row
Plugins::LiveDepartures::RouteBase::enterStateTempError (231) Route
'Departures from BBG to GLQ' entering state TEMP_ERROR
This is the webpage I think it's reading
http://www.livedepartureboards.co.uk/ldb/sumdep.aspx?T=BBGS=GLQ
and this is the code that is failing from UKStandardRoute.pm:
if (DISPLAY_TYPE_ALL_DEPARTURES_FROM == $self-{DISPLAY_TYPE} ||
DISPLAY_TYPE_DEPARTURES_FROM_TO == $self-{DISPLAY_TYPE}) {
# departures from... so expect to find Train Departures or Bus
Departures
if ($tableRow =~ m/Train Departures/) {
$transportType = TRANSPORT_TYPE_TRAIN;
$log-info(This transport section is TRAIN DEPARTURES);
} elsif ($tableRow =~ m/Bus Departures/) {
$transportType = TRANSPORT_TYPE_BUS;
$log-info(This transport section is BUS DEPARTURES);
} elsif ($tableRow =~ m/Departures/) {
# if this just contains Departures then there's no transport
type -
so shouldn't expect any details below
$transportType = undef;
} else {
# bad bad bad - fatal error
$log-info(fatal error: expected Train Departures or Bus
Departures
in first row);
$fatalError = 1;
It may be that the webpage has altered so causing the error.
Unfortunately I can't fix it. I agree it's a shame if it's no longer
being supported.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
Nice, thanks for posting the update. Not sure what else we can do to make it fit any better. Perhaps you could move from Peterborough to Ely? ;) Seriously though: currently, for the Boom, it's hard-coded for three lines - which is probably the only sensible arrangement for that machine. But for other VFD devices (SB2/SB3/TP) there are still improvements that can be made. SBG/SB2/SB3 Are people generally happy with the two-line solution? Or do you sometimes wish that either: - you could display three lines to stop stuff scrolling, or - you could have it set to ENORMOUS MODE, thereby easily read from across the room TP For the Transporter, I could do better there too. Any suggestions? An easy change would be to move the time into the second display permanently, perhaps duplicating the standard DateTime arrangement there. (I only own one SB2, one SB3 and a Duet, so don't have strong opinions about how this plugin could be useful for Boom or TP) I'd be interested to hear any ideas :) Matthew -- mflint 'LiveDepartures plugin' (http://wiki.insignificant.org/index.php?title=LiveDepartures) - 'GoalRush plugin' (http://wiki.insignificant.org/index.php?title=GoalRush) - 'Occasional blog' (http://insignificant.org/) mflint's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2102 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33913 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Hi, I've worked out what the problem was, I think it was a mis-understanding on how the system worked, or possibly not ready the instructions, hey I'm a programmer :) What I was doing was entering the values in the table and then clicking on the add route button then clicking on the save/apply. Because the I had clicked on the add route button it had an empty route before trying to save, this was making the validation fail and so it wasn't then saving the data.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
Erk... that doesn't look great. The only thing that comes immediately to mind: the settings page doesn't yet work well with the Apply button which comes for free with SqueezeCenter in the bottom-right corner. Instead, you should use the Save button inside the settings pane itself. If that's not it, then I'll need to quiz you further!

Re: moving through departing trains on one route: I don't think this is a five-minute job, but not too big a task. It all depends what you want to achieve. An alternative (possibly more flexible) would be to add two more settings to each route: 1. omit departures/arrivals within the next n minutes 2. only show n arrivals/departures So if you were a 15 minute walk away from the station, you could restrict the resultset to the next 3 trains departing no earlier than 15 minutes from now.

This left me in a very tricky position: the only way out of the screensaver in this case is to press now playing, but as far as SS was concerned there wasn't anything playing so the only way I could get out was to power the SB down.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
Matthew
ok, so back on topic... remember a while ago I complained about the up
and down arrow keys being too sensitive? Well, in particular using a
Harmony remote on my Transporter it was completely impossible (each
up/down moved by at least three) so I looked into it and I have a patch
to offer for your next release.
In plugin.pm, near line 67, change to:
Code:
my %mainModeFunctions = (
'up' = sub {
my $client = shift;
my $button = shift;
if ($button !~ /repeat/) {
Plugins::LiveDepartures::UI::enterStateSwitchRouteOption($client, 0);
}
},
'down' = sub {
my $client = shift;
my $button = shift;
if ($button !~ /repeat/) {
Plugins::LiveDepartures::UI::enterStateSwitchRouteOption($client, 1);
}
},
I borrowed this from James' lastFM plugin and it seems to debounce very
effectively.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
OK, so I've given it a try... The setup page was pretty easy to use (I even managed to see a nice error message!), well done for that. Only one small usability query: the Arrivals at ... from ... option label might suggest that you have to put the destination station first, though of course the columns are clearly labelled otherwise. It might not be pretty English, but can I suggest changing the label to something like Arrivals from ... at ... to remove the ambiguity? However this was a bit academic for me because I couldn't find out how to switch between the different journey options: your web page suggests we use the Now Playing key, but all this did for me was to return to the Now Playing display. Which was just as well, because this appeared to be the only key that got me out of the Screensaver mode. What might I be missing? Testing with SS 6.5.1 on Win XP, using Softsqueeze in Transporter and SB mode, with Live Departures selected as screensaver for both Stopped and Playing.

CeeJay... thanks for te suggestion about the change of wording - yes, that makes sense. I'm disappointed you're having trouble with changing routes.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
Thanks Matthew, this is the first plugin I've, er, plugged in to Slimserver. Useful for me because I use the train a lot. Typically, though, when I tried it (just now), there are no trains running, so it displays 'No Journeys'! For a while, I thought the plugin wasn't doing its thing, until I went to the National Rail website and found that it wasn't displaying any trains for my chosen journey either!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
Hi folks, I've done another release, which should fix the problem CeeJay was having. Rather than using Now Playing button to switch routes, my Other Half suggested using the Up and Down buttons instead. Much more sensible... It also now works through the Plugins-Screensavers-LiveDepartures menu on the Squeezebox, so it's now not necessary to set it as a screensaver. Feedback still welcome, of course!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
Hi Very nice, thanks. Just one bug to report for now: the route option arriving at A from B shows correctly on the SB display but you are actually looking at arrivals at B from A on the railtrack site, I think! (it took me a while to figure this out but I'm pretty sure this is what's happening). I like the up and down arrows, please pass on my thanks to your Other Half. Just one very minor quibble - it seems to be very quick to repeat on hold (this both on softsqueeze and the real SB/remote), any chance you could make it slightly less sensitive? And having it directly available from the menu is also handy. This is a fine piece of work, thanks again!

@Jens: It's good, but does display a lot of information. I wonder if this could be an option to turn on in the settings? (Or the simpler version could be an option to turn on!) We'd have to put a longer delay into the journey-switching too, as I can't read it fast enough... I really do like the improvements you've made to the HTML parsing. Regular expressions are good at what they do, but I can never debug them if I've slept since writing them! ;) @Ceejay: Thanks for the kind words :) With Jens' version, starting SlimServer in debug mode gave me the error Can't locate WWW/Mechanize.pm. (To fix this, I installed the Ubuntu package libwww-mechanize-perl) I'm torn; Mechanise, at a glance, will make the thing much easier to maintain, but do we force folks to install extra libraries? -I'd be interested to hear people's views on this.- Re: your enhancement request for extending the number of possible journeys: yes, I've wondered about that. I've also wondered about having journeys set per squeezebox too. But how to switch between them? To use the digits would probably conflict with the SaverSwitcher plugin. Could use up/down, I suppose, to switch... -(Aside: I use SaverSwitcher in its manual mode: pressing 1 displays DateTime, 2 gives LiveDepartures, 3 gives _'GoalRush' (http://www.insignificant.org/wiki/index.php/GoalRush)_, 4 gives TimeSpeller. I don't want or need LiveDepartures to be running full time)- This might lead to a wider discussion about the direction of ScreenSavers - whether we need to extend the Saver API somewhat, or come up with something new for this type of application: it's clear that people are now using their Slim devices as 'information gathering' devices. I'm not totally convinced that the ScreenSaver route is the best suited device for stuff like LiveDepartures...

No config for this yet, just a proof of concept, 'cos my coding after a beer or two ain't that great! ;-) M -- mflint 'Clicky-woo linky' (http://www.insignificant.org/wiki/index.php/Slim_Plugins) to web page of my plugins mflint's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2102 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33913 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: LiveDepartures screensaver plugin
All, This is a screensaver plugin to display running information for UK trains. I use it (along with 'SaverSwitcher') to see whether my trip to the station each morning will be a sprint or a leisurely walk. Usage: unzip to the Plugins directory, restart SlimServer. Use the Server Settings / Plugins web page to configure the start and destination stations. These need to be the 3-letter station codes. (eg. YRK=York, LDS=Leeds, LIV=Liverpool, SHF=Sheffield) Comments / bugreports welcome.
