Announce: SuperDateTime - Current Date/Temperature and/or Baseball Screensaver

[Slingshot72]

Hi Greg,

First - thanks for a great plugin, donation on the way.

Im just posting as Ive noticed a problem with the parsing the icon info from the new pages structure at weather.com (Im based in the UK so not sure if this happens elsewhere). Looking at the page source code (www[dot]weather[dot]com/weather/today/UKXX0085) the first wx-weather-icon on the page is the one used for the "Right Now" box & the plugin parsing code in gotWeatherToday is picking this up as the first forecast icon. Ive edited my copy of the plugin.pm and to pick the second & third wx-weather-icons on the page and this seems to have fixed things.

Thanks for your excellent work and to everyone else helping to provide patches.
After a few days without SuperDateTime I've realized how much I love it so a donation is now on the way to show my appreciation.
I would also like to encourage anyone else who feel the same way to do the same thing.

Donation sent as well, thanks for finding time to create a fix. I have this on three devices and really notice when it was missing.

Ahhh. I need to find an example. Just tried 15 cities and they all have some wind right now. Is it 'calm' or 'Calm'?

Thanks
Greg

Found one tonight... It is "Calm".

HTML excerpt follows:

<span class="wx-temp">Calm</span>

I am using Custom Clock and SDT on a Touch. My NAS Duo is running the latest SDT but I get no weather info on the Touch. Any suggestions?

First thing to try is if the "Extras/SuperDateTime" menu on the Touch shows weather information. If it doesn't show any weather information it means that the issue is with SuperDateTime plugin, if it shows weather information it means that it's related to the Custom Clock integration. I think another user had similar issues and it started to work in Custom Clock after entering the "Extras/SuperDateTime" menu once, I'm not sure if it was related to entering the menu or if it was something else that made it start working.

The "Extras" menu on my Touch has entries for only Weather, Information Browser, and Custom Clock. I get some weather info when I press Weather. Where do I go from here?

My thanks to Greg, as well as all the other folks here who help keep SDT alive and well. I've been using it for many years now, and still haven't found anything more convenient than having the conditions & forecast available right there on my SB3 when I glance at it. I get a phantom limb itch when its not there!
Based on what an app costs, I probably over-donated - but then again, SDT is like Mastercard - priceless.......... and it does seem to need an extraordinary amount of maintenance. It would all be much simpler if the folks at weather.com would refrain from messing around!

I assume you have installed the SuperDateTime plugin in SBS/LMS ?
Is your Touch really connnected to the SBS/LMS on which you have installed the SuperDateTime plugin ? Check by navigating to My Music and make sure it shows the expected content.

You should get a "SuperDateTime" menu under Extras if SuperDateTime plugin is installed on the server which the Touch is connected to.

Problem solved when I updated SBS/LMS on NAS. My Touch was running updated version so perhaps mismatch caused problem. Thanks for your help.
