Announce: Spicefly Weather Screensaver Developed by Charles Parker - http://www.spicefly.com/
This is a simple screensaver that pulls weather data from the BBC Weather website and displays it on the Squeezebox display. It uses the BBC 5 day forecast data and then rotates through the available information. I've had the main weather pulling code sitting around for a while and with a bit of spare time decided to tidy it up and shoe-horn it into the excellent screensaver framework from the GoalRush Plugin developed by Matthew Flint. If you are looking to create a screensaver plugin I would recommend the plugin as a good example to work from :) Please do not modify the code to alter the web page grab time as the forecast data is *not* refreshed every 5 mins so you are just hitting the website for no additional benefit. It is a 5 day forecast if you want to know what the weather is going to be like in the next few hours then look out the window! ;) Spicefly is in no way associated with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) or the Met Office. This plugin is for your own personal, non-commercial use as per conditions of BBC IP terms of use. FAQ Install as normal for plugins, then configure via the web interface of SC. (plugins->Settings) Set it as your screensaver under Player Settings -> Basic Settings The Duet/Squeezebox Controller is not supported by this plugin No plans for adding graphical symbols For further information on the data please visit; http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ Version 1.0 - Initial Release - 28th August 2008 Key functions; Right button drops display back to today's forecast Up and down buttons cycle through the available day forecasts. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: SpiceflyWeather1.0.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=5699| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- cparker www.spicefly.com - Visit for an enhanced Interface for MusicIP and integration tips and tricks, Plugin coding tips and Spicefly SugarCube the MIP AutoDJ plugin! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cparker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2083 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51584 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
