Hi Paytheprice, I managed to setup SDT last August and there were some nuisances to the process. Let me share my notes (it is a matchup of comments from posts in this forum and my own experience) with you in the hope it helps you. Regarding problems with location, my location Id for weather.com is SPXX0401:1:SP. I had difficulty because the suggested source would only provide part of the location Id "SPXX0401" and had to guess the need to add ":1:" + country code
================== IN THE PLAYER: License manager is not needed for Custom Clock or Custom Clock Helper. Custom Clock is installed from Jivelite. Settings|Advanced|Applet Installer Make sure you backup the settings on pCP after installing. ************ Repository URL below possibly outdated *************** To install CustomClock from there, you need to put the repository link into the LMS settings/plugins additional repositories http://superdatetimewu.sourceforge.net/CC_JL_repo.xml This points to the modified CustomClock applet which will run on the piCorePlayer jivelite. ***************************************** CustomClock is showing up under Extras 1. Goto Settings/Screen/Screensavers/Custom Clock Settings/Config #x (and configure it in one of the Custom Clock slots) 2. Goto Settings/Screen/Screensavers/When off (And select the above Custom Clock slot which you have configured with a SDT screen saver) I checked my Jivelite - it's installed at: /home/tc/.jivelite/userpath/applets There's a directory there called "CustomClock" with all the .lua files installed below that. IN LMS: Install SuperDateTime and CustomClock Helper plugins. Custom Clock Helper is needed to install the template. Installation (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?112122-Announce-SuperDateTime-Screensaver-v5-11-0-Date-Time-Weather-Sports-Stocks) If necessary, to install the SDT plugin add the following repository URL to the "Additional Repositories" section at the bottom of the plugins page in LMS. After clicking "Apply" SuperDateTime Screensaver will be available for selection. Select SDT and click apply again. After restarting LMS SuperDateTime is available for use. Basic Setup Begin by navigating to LMS->Advanced Settings->SuperDateTime Screensaver. Set your location in the WEATHER.COM IDENTIFIER field. Pay attention to the format used. If an invalid format is entered, SDT will revert to the default location for Chicago, IL USA = 60614:4:US (Caldes = SPXX0401:1:SP ) https://weather.codes/ is a good resource to find the identifier for your location. Additional settings are available at the player level for Boom, SB Classic, and Transporter players. Navigate to LMS->Player->SuperDateTime for these settings. Touch/Radio/Controller setup For Touch, Radio, and Controller the Custom Clock applet should be loaded using the menus on the player or controller. Several Custom Clock screensavers that include SDT information are available after loading the Custom Clock applet. You can customize the Custom Clock screens or create your own screens through the Custom Clock Helper (CCH) plugin. The Custom Clock applet and Custom Clock Helper plugin were created by Erland. Refer to Erland's thread https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?68269-Announce-Custom-Clock-applet-for-Touch-Radio-Controller for more information and community support for Custom Clock and Custom Clock Helper. SDT Repository URL http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sdt-weather-com/repo.xml or https://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/sdt-weather-com/repo.xml Did you set SDT as your screensaver on the Player tab Basic Settings? Remember there are settings for SDT under both the advanced and player tabs. Make sure you backup the settings on pCP after installing. If no styles available for CustomClock in the player, go to Custom Clock Helper app and edit some style to ensure box jivelite800X480" is checked off and click apply. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ waldo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19888 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112122
