It's a biggie for me, too. SDT is on my short list of "must-have" plugins, and it's not fun making do without it. You probably don't want to see my copy of SDT. :-) I've hacked mine to include support for a FuzzyTime feature that's not mentioned on my FuzzyTime web page -- making the text move slowly from side-to-side (to distribute the pixel usage, in hopes that this, like AutoDim, might help keep the VFDs in better shape). In my case, every time SDT refreshed the weather forecast, it would move the time, weather info, and weather conditions icon a bit to one side or the other. It works great in Large font mode, but is messed up in Medium and Small. Since I never fixed Medium and Small, I never bothered submitting changes to Greg Brown (SDT's author). Anyhow, this means I might be running a relatively old version of SDT. I hope that Greg also still uses SDT, and that he'll jump in and fix the HTML-parsing routine himself soon (though I know he is often very busy with his day job). Otherwise I may have to take a stab at it, as it really does bug me to see a plain old clock on my Squeezeboxes. I can't imagine republishing SDT, though. Uploading a new Plugin.pm or zip file to the forums, probably. Email it to Greg, definitely. If anybody here with free time knows Perl, I'd encourage you to take a look. There's a callback function in Plugin.pm (GotWeather, I think) that parses the response from weather.com -- looks like lots of regexp code, just what you'd expect. It should be pretty easy to rip GotWeather out to a standalone script for troubleshooting, I just don't know how soon I'd be able to do that. -- peterw http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Free plugins: 'AllQuiet' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AllQuiet.html) 'Auto Dim/AutoDisplay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/AutoDisplay.html) 'BlankSaver' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/BlankSaver.html) 'ContextMenu' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/ContextMenu.html) 'DenonSerial' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/DenonSerial.html) 'FuzzyTime' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/FuzzyTime.html) 'KidsPlay' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KidsPlay.html) 'KitchenTimer' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/KitchenTimer.html) 'PlayLog' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PlayLog.html) 'PowerCenter/BottleRocket' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/PowerCenter.html) 'SaverSwitcher' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SaverSwitcher.html) 'SettingsManager' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SettingsManager.html) 'SleepFade' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SleepFade.html) 'StatusFirst' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/StatusFirst.html) 'SyncOptions' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/SyncOptions.html) 'VolumeLock' (http://www.tux.org/~peterw/slim/VolumeLock.html) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ peterw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2107 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=73222 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
