Bluegaspode, I would like to extend your weather screensaver hopefully by replacing the background images with the image from an outdoor weather webcam site on the internet.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Beta: Weather-Screensafer for Controller/Radio/Touch
This is very strange ! Mine is working again (without changes from my side). I was inbetween analyzing the problem, all I could see in the logs was, that my Controller tried to connect to mysqueezebox.com (without success) all the time and that it looked like it didn't get any response from wonderground. As soon as the errors for mysqueezebox.com disappeared, the weather-applet started to work again. So I think that due to connection problems to MySB.com the controller somehow lost its ability to connect to other sources (like wonderground) ? I just don't know :( I suggest to reboot your Controller/Radio/Touch first (long press on the power button). Then try the Screensafer again.

Use one graphic for each non-current day (you can update the non-current

in forecast
But thats not possible with the current data-feed (the only free one
that I'm allowed to use is wunderground).
I get a feed for the current condition with one icon + temp.
I get a forecast feed (including the current day and the next two) with
high/low-temp + TWO icons.
As I don't know which of these two icons is better ('icon' or
'skyicon'), I just render them both.
So as much as I'd like to just show one icon, from my point I'm just
not able to do so ?
Also 'merging' the forecast of the current day (high/low-temp) with the
big-icon would result in a loss of information. Where should I put the
(two) icons of the current-day forecast?
Just omitting both icons wouldn't be good as well I really want to know
how the current day will develop ?
So actually I'm quite happy with the distribution:
*BIG*: current situation - Big Icon + Temp + Humidity + Date + Time
*3x SMALL*: forecast (current day, day + 1, day +2) with high/low temp
and two possible icons.
With your suggestions I could change it to:
*BIG*: current situation + forecast: Current Temp, Forecast Low/High
Temp, Forecast Icons (two toggling), current date, current time.
Icon of current Condition would be omitted.
*3x SMALL*: forcast (day+1, day+2, day+3) with high/low temp and two
possible icons (toggling).
What do others think ?
Should we merge the forecast of the current day into the 'big' area ?

Thanks for the explanation. And I'm glad that you used the same icons for partlycloudy/mostlysunny, because they seem pretty much synonomous to me! My personal preference would be for less toggling, for the same reason I am not fond of websites with a lot of unnecessary animation. But that's just my preference. I suppose one could fine tune it somewhat and continue the toggling for chance of rain/snow/etc but not for 'chance of partlycloudy'.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Beta: Weather-Screensafer for Controller/Radio/Touch
bluegaspode, thanks for your detailed responses, and your very good questions. 1. re the chance of precipitation, I vaguely recall some posts -- probably in the WDT thread -- about the lack of precipitation data on wunderground, but I didn't follow them closely because I was getting it. But now I see that it is maybe only available on some continents and not others. I agree that's not fair. 2. I have another example of the animated icons, again with the sun shining constantly and clouds blinking on/off, with about 3 seconds between the on and off. The cloud icons don't appear to have any rain on them. According to /var/log/messages the icons are icon1: clear icon2: mostlysunny. That's for Day 3 on the bottom of the SBC.

In other words, if there is more width available will it use bigger fonts? Frankly I think the smaller icons/larger text you posted looks better than the proportions you have now. And it would probably look better still if you could get the time font to be larger, because it can use more width than it is now. I'll try to take a look at it on the SB Touch and report back. 4. I see your point about de-activating the screensaver whenever a button or wheel is touched. I thought it was a longshot, but at least worth a mention. Finally, there's no need to feel bad about not taking my suggestions. This is your software, and I expect that if you tried to implement every suggestion from every user you would end up going insane. -- aubuti aubuti's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2074 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68386 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Hhmm - I checked their sourcecode and they use the 'pop'-field (guess this means' percentage of precipitation') of the forecast, which was always empty for me :( See: http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=TXL if I take some city in the US I get some values indeed http://api.wunderground.com/auto/wui/geo/ForecastXML/index.xml?query=JFK This is not fair ! As for other animations, what does a sun with clouds flashing on/off mean? For example, for tomorrow I'm seeing Clear with just a sun icon on the wunderground.com site, but for the same location your applet is showing a sun with clouds flashing on and off. Is that chance of clouds? The following day is predicted partly cloudy, and the icons on the web site and your applet are a static sun with clouds, which is what I would expect. In the forecast-XML I get two icons, one called 'icon' and one called 'skyicon'. The icon-field includes the 'chance of'-icons (which are shown with a question-mark on wunderground.com) but there is only chance of flurries, rain, snow, sleet and thunderstorms. So nothing sensible that matches your observation. If there is such a strange situation again you could help me by doing one of the following things (whichever is easier for you): a) go to wunderground-link posted above (but use your location in the end) and look at the 'icon' and 'skyicon' for the corresponding day. b) look in the /var/log/messages file on your controller. you will find infos from the applet there starting with parseForecast - and the icon-names as well. Maybe I have some mismatched icons or wunderground is sending strange data, which we maybe could filter. To my eye, the main weather icon takes up too much space relative to the text. In my opinion the icon could be shrunk and either make the text bigger or add a provision for a third line of data. On what device are you looking (controller/touch/radio) ? Unfortunately it's very difficult to provide a good solution for all three devices (and even the desktop-version with arbitary resolution). Currently I cut the screen in 2/3 (current condition area) and 1/3 (forecast area). The forecast-area is divided into 3 areas of course. Then we have 4 areas which are again cut in 2/3 (icon) and 1/3 (text). As a small (exaggerated) test I cut the icon/text areas in half (see attached images). You see that this doesn't help much, as the fonts size/height is determined by its width. Scaling the fonts height would make look it ugly. I third line These screen sizes are really hard to handle :( Secondly, what about using the whole screen for current conditions, and making subsequent days available via a button or wheel? I though about this too. But the nature of a screensafer (currently) makes this impossible. Whatever button you press (or if you scroll the wheel) - screensafer is turned off. I might try to find ways to circumvent this in future releases, but as my vacation is now over, I won't find much time for such advanced hacks. Now I feel bad because I argued against any of your points. +---+ |Filename: weather-touch.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=8330| +---+ -- bluegaspode 1x SB-Controller+Receiver, 1xSB-Boom.

But maybe there's some way to do it. I'm sure that some of my comments come from being a happy user of WDT (and sometimes SuperDateTime) for a few years, so I'd like to see some of the same functionality on the players with LCD screens. But I also understand that you don't necessarily just want to port WDT to the newer players, you want to have your own creation, and I certainly can't argue with that.

On the other hand I didn't want to conceal that there was a propability of rain. I definitely see your logic, and honestly haven't thought that much about the possible alternatives.

Yes, that's where I would suggest putting it. To me it's not that important to know how old the current conditions are. On our SB2 and SB3 we use WeatherDateTime which does a nice combination of time and weather (and like SuperDateTime, is extremely customizable). It would be great if we could have something similar for our SB Radio.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Beta: Weather-Screensafer for Controller/Radio/Touch
Some updates: - font is resized to fit better on the available space. The font thus will be a bit bigger for better visibility. Also the font should now show correctly on Squeezebox Radio. - started to parse the actual weather-string (instead just the icon-names, that come from wunderground) for the current weather - this makes it possible to have more exact icons, for instance 3 levels of rain (ligth/normal/heavy) instead just one - see example icons below. - localization for english+german.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Beta: Weather-Screensafer for Controller/Radio/Touch
This message is really strange! Anyone else with a Touch having the same problem ? I just looked in the sourcecode of the AppletManager ... one line before the error it should try to load 'applets/Weather/WeatherMeta.lua' - this doesn't seem to work for some reason (the file exists ?) thats why the 'class' variable gets a boolean value (see reference manual for 'require': http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-require). The AppletManager expects the loaded WeatherMeta-class (instead of true) so cancels with an error :( So this leaves the two questions: - did you delete your wrong 'WeatherApplet' directory ? - does the applets/Weather/WeatherMeta.lua file exist ? -- bluegaspode One SB-Duet+Receiver.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Beta: Weather-Screensafer for Controller/Radio/Touch
I happy to announce the start of beta-testing my new
Weather-Screensafer:
FEATURES
- will show current weather
- will show forecast for next 3 days
- weather-data taken from www.wunderground.com
- written portable to support 7.3 + 7.4 firmware-version
- works for controller/touch/radio (tested with controller and
squeezeplay)
INSTALL
It seems that the applet-installer has a timeout, which currently makes
it impossible to install this 1MB applet via a repository :(
In the meantime just 'download'
(www.stagessound.de/squeeze/Weather.zip) and 'install it manually'
(http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlay_Applets)
(you might als try the repository but currently this doesn't work for
me :(
www.stagessound.de/bluegaspode.xml)
CONFIGURE
- Go to 'Settings-Screen-Screensaver'
- Here you will have to configure the location to show weather-data
from ('Screensavers-Weather settings').
This location will be passed to www.wunderground.com, so you might
want to test there, whether your location will be recognized.
The default is 'Berlin, Germany' so you always know how my mood is
...
- Also in the screensafers-menu you will have to configure the
weather-screensafer (most probably under 'when stopped').
You can also preview the weather here by pressing 'Play' when the
weather-screensaver is selected
- The Weather-applet will also install itself under the
'Extras'-menu, so you can start it whenever you want. (With 7.4
firmware, you might have to activate the extras-menu under
'settings-home menu')
OPEN TODOS
- localization
- consistent indents and comments in source-code :)
- maybe showing some night-images when its night
