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

[PRGeno]

I got the zip file for the 12/22 5.5.0 build for SC7, and all that is in it is a few gif files and some html. It looks like it's missing a bunch of stuff, like the Perl code.

Me too! The plugin itself is missing from the ZIP file.

I temporarily got around this by using the 12/16 build (not linked, but you can change the date in the filename from the download page.)

Thanks guys for pointing this out. I'm surprised with 30 downloads the past few days that it just got pointed out today... If you have a Jive remote you'll like this version. It now includes Jive access to all sports scores within any leagues you're tracking.

Nice work on figuring out the 12/16 link. Judging from my web logs it looks like some people must have a background app checking for new versions with that filename format every day!

Am I dense or does 5.5.0 not show seconds with the %1 time parameter? It doesn't seem to be affected by my time setting at all.

You probably wouldn't have noticed if you were installing it over an older version. Since I just installed SC7 today, I did a new install of SDT, and only got pieces.

5.5.0 Question/Issue:
I can't seem to get automatic scrolling of the long weather report.

I use to run an earlier version in SlimServer 6.x and had done something such that it would periodically scroll the long weather report.

I've played with a few settings in the 5.5.0 version running under SC7 but no luck.
Also, just pressing the right key doesn't show long reports either.

It's completely possible that I'm doing something wrong.

Not quite sure what's happening. I've downloaded a copy of the oh-so-nice SC7 and it's running great. Downloaded a copy of the 12/26 SuperDateTime and extracted to the PLUGINS folder.

I can see it listed on the Extras tab, but no apparent place to adjust settings, select it for use, etc.

Can someone lend a hand? Thanks.

On the Extras page where it lists SuperDateTime Screensaver (make sure you're not looking at the list item called "Date and Time Screensaver"), do you see a button that says "Enable" or "Disable?"
If it says "Disable," then next to it you should see a button called "Settings."
If it says "Enable" then click on that button (to enable the plugin). At this point, you should see the "Settings" button (next to the button now labeled "Disable"). If you don't, I would try closing the browser and opening up SqueezeCenter again. If that doesn't work, I would even try restarting SqueezeCenter.

Mitch -

There's an enable/disable button, but nothing for settings. I've started/restarted, rebooted and re-downloaded several times. I've hopefully attached a quick screenshot.

For what it's worth, I'm on a mac.

Thanks for the help.

[Mitch G]

Yeah, that doesn't look right.

Is there a file called Settings.pm under Plugins/SuperDateTime?
The lack of such a file could result in no Settings button being shown.

Otherwise, maybe it's a mac thing? Although what it is I can't imagine since this stuff is pretty much platform independent and you're clearly loading the plugin.
