Re: [slim] Date Time screensaver scrolling?

2013-04-10 Thread TheShanMan
OK, I've got this working pretty well. If you set the maximum offset to a very high number, the plugin will automatically detect when the text reaches the edge of the screen and reverses direction at that point. No more sticking at the side of the screen! It also now functions properly in single l

Thanks! I did download the server source code so that will at the very least help with relearning plugin programming. In the long run though, I think it might be advantageous to not leave centering up to the server and instead programmatically determine line lengths and then pad as appropriate wit

Well, it looks like there is nothing wrong with the FuzzyTime code with regard to positioning the text on a slimp3. The bug is actually in the slimp3's centering logic when you give it a string padded with spaces on the front - the spaces just get chopped off. If I change the padding to underscore

I took the first step tonight. I figured the code out enough to change it so that it updates once per second rather than once per text change. :) Next I'll probably figure out why the plugin doesn't work right on the slimp3. ---

Nope, that's perfectly fine and understandable. I'm just super happy that it exists at all. I'm a software developer so knowing the code's available, I might just have a look at some point (with what little time I have :)). One thing I noticed is that on first glance it appeared to not work at all

Hmm, I'm thousands of miles away from my SBs right now or I would look at my FuzzyTime settings and let you know what I have. But I have a time display, without seconds, that just creeps back and forth across the screen almost imperceptibly, with no "sticking" at the edges. -

Cool. Thanks for the clarification! This is perfect. I did send an email to the author with a couple of requests. It's pretty hard to figure out the maximum shift, and if you pick too large a value the display will "stick" to the left or right side for a while before reversing direction. It makes

I don't recall if FuzzyTime will scroll the time, but it _will_ move the time display leftward a user-specified number of pixels every X minutes, and then when it gets to the left edge of the screen, move it rightward the same number of pixels every X minutes until it gets to the right edge of the

I have an SB1 and it has quite noticeable screen burn which is evidently from displaying date/time when off. Is there any way, via a plugin or whatever, to get the date time screensaver to scroll to lessen the amount it burns the screen over time? I've done some googling and haven't found anything
