[Announce] SuperDateTime Screensaver v5.11.0 - Date/Time/Weather/Sports/Stocks

[kidhazy]

I don't think your issue is with your weather station. I tried ASXX6846:1:AS and info came through fine. Check your server log. It should provide an indication of what is causing the ? In SDT. If not increase the logging level for SDT to Info.

Thanks. I think it may have been a temporary source issue - as I don't see the question mark on the stations that were showing it the other day.

Sometime in the last hour SDT data stopped coming through for me (20815:4:US). Seeing a lot of errors in log as below. Is it working for others?

Just happened to me too. Pasting the URL(https://api.weather.com/v2/turbo/vt1observation?apiKey=<redacted>&units=e&language= en-US&format=json&geocode=xx.xx,-yy.yy) into a browser directly returns the error below. (geo and API data redacted; copy this URL directly off of your slimserver.pl logs)

You don't have permission to access "http://api.weather.com/v2/turbo/vt1observation?" on this server.

I have no idea where the API key embedded in the URL comes from; it is not asked for in the SuperDateTime setup. But it appears weather.com no longer accepts it :-(

EDIT: Looks like there is a 10000-call limit (at 10 calls per minute) at "The Weather Company" -- now owned by IBM. Looks like me and the other person have run into that...

Hmmm ... Back in the days of the WUnderground version of STD I acquired their API for use with STD and ran into a maximum call limit. I changed it to every 5 minutes and never ran into the warning again. Just checking with current STD I'm also at a five minute refresh. (Does anyone really need to check the weather or sports more than every five minutes?)

For the record, both WUnderground and Weather.com (The Weather Company) are owned by IBM.

Thanks for your reply. I poll every 10 minutes, so I don't think I've run into a limit. Nothing about this has changed from what had been working fine for years. What version of LMS are you running? It may be coincidental, but this problem started when I updated to today's 8.3 beta. I tried reverting to previous version, but it did not solve the problem.

Haven’t updated for a couple of months. Pasting the URL into a regular browser (and getting the same auth error) was my clue this was unrelated to slim/SDT.

Keep in mind that if you’ve been running SDT for months/years that you may be running into the 10000-call “lifetime” limit.

Like Wunderground before it, we’ve run out the clock on weather.com. I think SDT needs to be fitted to a new (free) API.

Yikes! That can't be a restriction, is it? Even polling every 10 minutes, that's 144 calls/day or over 50k per year! Seems I'd have run into this limit long ago.

same. permissions error

I am seeing the same error. Are we all using the same apikey? i don’t know where this api key came from, maybe it was mine from the old wunderground days but no place in ui to enter it

does your api key start with this ?
apiKey=d522a

EDIT: I see this apiKey embedded in the Plugin.pm code file. Hmm….

Yes.

Depends on when they implemented this limit. Seems like we’re all gonna get burned by it sooner or later. My API key also is the same as all of yours; looks like our “universal” API key just went kaput :-(

Working on a fix now. Testing on my system and then will post later this evening if it works.

Thanks so much for the quick response! This is just about the only reason I still have squeezeboxen around :-)
