Hey Jeff-
That version of the plugin has the graphical weather icons which your
player is not capable of displaying. Unfortunately my code assumes
these icons are there, so it adds some "prespacing" to the weather text
to compensate so that the text wont overlap the icons. The prespacing
spaces along with your time/weather text is larger than what will fit
on the screen, so SlimServer starts scrolling it.
For a temp fix, stop SlimServer and open up plugin.pm in your favorite
raw text editor. Search for or go to line 638 and 639 that should look
like:
Code:
--------------------
my $iconPreSpace = ' '; #Blank spaces to append before
bottom line text when displaying an icon w/3line txt
my $icon2PreSpace = ' '; #Blank spaces to append before bottom line
text when displaying an icon wo/3line txt
--------------------
And change them to:
Code:
--------------------
my $iconPreSpace = ''; #Blank spaces to append before bottom line text when
displaying an icon w/3line txt
my $icon2PreSpace = ''; #Blank spaces to append before bottom line text
when displaying an icon wo/3line txt
--------------------
Then restart SlimServer.
As for the hi/low stuff, those are now displayed using a special 3line
font that your player is not capable of displaying. In the next
version of the plugin that's available for SlimServer 7 you're able to
put the hi/low text anywhere you want on the display. You're also able
to disable the icons and it will automatically adjust the spacing for
you. Nightly SlimServer 7 builds are available for download and some
people are using them, however, that version is still undergoing major
changes and is not intended for daily use.
