Let me suggest something for compatibility sake: can the current day be "d0"? That way any screens that people have developed for the older version of plugin will still show accurate data.

Yes, please!
Otherwise I had to change all my screens. Not really a challenge, but d0 wouldbe consistent with the past settings.

I just did this....The phrase description and moonrise/set is fine, but I didn’t like the moon icon data as returned from weather.com, so I did a quick moon age calculation to line up with the 30 icons that the WU SDT version had. I can send you the code.

That is 2 votes to start at d0. No votes for d1. I'll adjust back to d0. Please note that high temperatures will be null in the evening and night.

Yes. Send the code for moon age and I'll incorporate it for the benefit of others.

I have 2 issues:
1) I still cannot get the the repository URL to "stick" on the Plugins page
2) I noticed for a few versions now that the stock ticker is not working, it appears it's a URL/API issue again (this time with Yahoo finance). Does anyone know of a solution? I tried changing the URL, but getting all the info and formatting to work is a PITA.

Remove the commas from the ticker symbol field in the settings. Use a space as a delimiter instead.

Seems like you have issues with your LMS install rather than this plugin or repositories. You might be able to get better advice on fixing it in one of the other forums. Possibly the one titled "Logitech Media Server"?

Based on your feedback I have adjusted the 15 day forecast designators to start at d0 instead of d1.

I also incorporated code provide by @paul- to make moon info available. Moon icons and moon info display under Current Conditions courtesy of @tcutting.

Release note:

Code:

# 5.9.51 03/18/19   Adjusted 15 day forecast day designators.  (d0 thru d14)
#                   NOTE: d0 forecast High, Icon etc are only available during the day.
#                   Added moon phrase descriptions.  Available using macro variable %G.
#                   Added calculation for moon age. (Thanks paul-)
#                   Added moon icons for use in Custom Clock. (Thanks tcutting)
