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

[robbiex]

Thank you very much for the reply.
I created the directory SlimServer/server/Plugins and unzipped SuperDateTime into Plugins. All of the SuperDateTime subdirectories and their contents look OK, but SlimServer doesn't recognize the plugin.

I know the current beta build worked with the 7.0 nightly dated 7/16. 7.0 is a moving target so something probably changed recently that is preventing it from loading. When I have some time I'll fetch the latest nightly build and see what I can determine.

Greg - there have been little to know changes in the plugin code. Do you
distribute a .par package with the plugin?

robbiex - sometimes SlimServer isn't recognizing new plugins reliably.
Please remove Caches/plugin-data.yaml and restart SlimServer. This often
does help.

Hi Greg & Michael,

Thank you very much for your assistance.
After deleting plugin-data.yaml and re-starting SlimServer, the SuperDateTime plugin is correctly recognized.

Hello,
I've used the SuperDateTime plugin on my SB3 for some week now without any problems. Since yesterday the temperature (%T) and the humidity (%h) are not updated anymore.
Is it possible that the website has changed its format and therefore SuperDateTime is unable to read the values properly?

Thanks,
Juergen

I'm seeing the same thing as well.

Yup. Same here. My weather is for London, UK if that helps.

'Low' temp and 'Prec %' are still displaying OK.

Same here too. Looks like weather.com has changed their html code. Until
Greg updates his plugin, you can use this small patch to parse at least
temperature, feels like, humidity and wind data.

It seems like weather.com has changed something on their site that is affecting the display of this plugin. After working well for some time, and with no changes in the version of Slimserver (6.5.2), the temperatures have suddenly disappeared for Montreal, Canada. The forecast itself seems intact however.

Any solution?

Sorry guys, I'm out of town and haven't gotten a chance to check the forums. Are people still experiencing the problem? My local copy on my laptop appears to be parsing the data fine.
