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

[Jaca]

Not sure what has happened today.. Is that global warming ;p? I'm in UK O-o

I got this in my log today:

Plugins::SuperDateTime::Plugin::gotWeatherNow (3931) Unknown Barometer Trend Status!!! Code = 4
Plugins::SuperDateTime::Plugin::gotWeatherNow (3932) Barometer Trend Description = Faller snabbt
​

"Faller snabbt" is Swedish for "Decreasing rapidly". Now that we know what "4" means you may want to update the code :-)

Thank you. I will make note and sort out the best way to display this in a future release. Currently SDT only shows the following:
Rising = '+'
Falling = '-'
Steady ='~'

It looks normal to me. What am I missing?

Is it set to Fahrenheit?

Is it set to Fahrenheit?

No it's Celsius .. I did initially think it changed itself to Fahrenheit but I don't think thunderstorms are possible at 28F or -2.2C

Anyway sorted now with LMS reboot.. It was just a glitch

Is there a current list available of all the format string variables? I'm using weather.com, but a list also including wunderground would be helpful to all users. I do have what is available under Player > SDT, but I think it's out of date.

If nothing exists, is it possible to change the period covered to not use leading zeros in the date for the forecast period. Example: "Wed March 08" to "Wed March 8". I'd be happy with "Wed Mar 8" is that's all that's possible.

Thanks.

Thank you very much for this amazing plugin! just one quick question: Is there any way to set the map which is actually used in radar? I live in Paris and when using the radar on touch, Paris is actually more on the right side of the map, no matter which zoom factor i use.
Thank you !

I try to keep the available macro variables current including the wunderground macro variables shown in the LMS web interface under Settings > Player > SDT. The weather.com 10-day period macro variables may not be complete. I'll work on that in the next release.

I will also remove leading zeros from the forecast period dates.

You're starting to spoil me, BooxX2. Thanks very much.

The map should be centered on the latitude and longitude associated with the weather.com station. What weather.com station identifier you are using?

First off, its a little late but thanks for the additional update timers for scores. Works beautifully.

Now a silly question, was the addition of the temp to one decimal place in Celsius intentional? Not a big deal if it is, just curious.

LMS 8.3.1, SDT 5.11.29

If you have Celsius selected in the LMS->Settings->Advanced->SDT tab the number of decimals displayed for Celsius is unaltered from data provided by weather.com and wunderground.com. If you have Fahrenheit selected, I have to calculate the Celsius values. In that case I do round them to 1 decimal place in the following code.

sub FtoC {
    my $temp = shift;

    $temp = nearest(.1,($temp-32)*5/9);
    
    return $temp;
}

I added 0.1 rounding to this routine in late 2020 or early 2021. Prior to that it had "funky rounding" to the nearest integer.

my $temp = shift;

$temp = ($temp-32)*5/9;
$temp = int($temp + .5 * ($temp <=> 0)); # Funky round

return $temp;
}

Thanks. I think we covered that somewhere before but its not an intuitive setting. Maybe adding a note at some point would help remind.

Agreed.

Hi,
thank you, i am using FRXX0076:1:FR.
https://weather.com/fr-FR/temps/aujour/l/FRXX0076:1:FR
On webpage it is the center, on my PicoreScreen it is the center, but on my touch it is on the right side.
I am able to use the height parameter to get it centered, but after 2 minutes or so it decenters back to default.
I am using the local zoom
