Well, I´d appreciate that very much. Theres no need for all the new
features, just if it keeps reading weather.com would make me happy,
too.
And - not that Im in any anti 7.4 movement, but I´m running SC on a
QNAP NAS, its an old ts109 with not much RAM and its working fine with
7.3.
I have heard lots of problems with the new SSOTS which is needed there
to install 7.4 or 7.5 and lots of other problems also (no hdd spindown
and worst: Audio-Playback on Controller tends to stutter! which it does
not with 7.3).
Thats why I dont wanna change until this problems are solved. 

And now I tried out the trick with updating plugin.pm as others did
successfully:
Problems:
1. Superdatetime was not to be found in Squeezecenter/Plugins
instead I found it in Squeezecenter/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins

2. .par file not easily to decode.
used 7Zip, worked

3. plugin.pm: I didnt know with which charset it shoud be encoded
I left it as ANSI
(custom-strings.txt files in ANSI used to crash my SC!!!)
well: it worked.

4. Then I didnt know how to uninstall.
I did it via Config-Page, stopping, restarting, stopping and then
manually deleting the superdatetime directory in the above mentioned
dir.

5. then I didnt know where to install
Squeezecenter/Plugins ? or above mentioned Dir?
I tried the first, hoping it would move itself to above Dir, if
needed.
well, it worked, did not move to cache/...

6.felt tempereature didnt work (-17degrees)
found BoomX2 s posting, integrated that, too
hooray, worked again!

what do I want to say with that text?
it works, but its complicated for non-techies(like I am) to get it
running.

best regards!
