Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Astronomy Information Plugin - useful to amateur astronomers
Weird. My live server is running v7.4.1 of Squeezebox Server and V2.2 of the plugin - no problem. And I tested it with v7.5.0 of the Server and it works (after fixing some settings in the repo and install xml files). So, I'm not sure why V2.2 of the plugin would not work in your v7.4.3 instance. Regardless, in the interest of ignoring good version management, I've updated V2.2 to incorporate your suggested change (thanks for that, btw). It seems to load fine in 7.5.0. Let me know if you have problems loading it in 7.4.3. I do not have a squeezeplay-compatible version of the plugin. It only works on softsqueeze and that ilk of hardware. Creating a squeezeplay-compatible version is on the to-do list, but every time I start looking into it, I get a bit overwhelmed by the amount of work it appears it will be to support that environment. Maybe one day.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Astronomy Information Plugin - useful to amateur astronomers
Hi Mitch
Thought I would have a nose at this, as sounds really interesting. I
manually downloaded it as the repo kept timing out. When I installed
it, it throws up a function depreciated error. (v7.4.3)
For line 69 in the settings.pm file;
sub name {
return Slim::Web::HTTP::protectName('PLUGIN_ASTROINFO');
}
This needs to be changed to;
sub name {
return Slim::Web::HTTP::CSRF->protectName('PLUGIN_ASTROINFO');
}
Then it will work but I just wondered if I'm using the wrong version
(2.2) as it doesnt appear on Squeezeplay but does on Softsqueeze!? :s
Cheers

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Astronomy Information Plugin - useful to amateur astronomers
First the good news: I've got an SC7 version ready. It wasn't that hard after all. But, I'm not releasing it yet - see next item. Now the bad(ish) news: I just discovered that the Heavens-Above data is not being displayed correctly. This is true for the pre-SC7 version as well. The problem is that they changed the formatting of the webpage and so the plugin doesn't find the right data. This has happened before and I just adapted the parser to deal withe new format. But, I thought I would email the Heavens-Above people and see if there was a way I could access the raw data and thus not have to worry about page format changes. I haven't heard back yet (just having sent the email), but I'm not going to release V2.0 (the SC7 version) or update V1.5 until I hear back from them or Wednesday - whichever comes first.

After all, your "screensaver" could tell us whether it's worth hanging out until dawn! I, for one, certainly wouldn't want to be misled. Technically, if your last time period is until 4am, then the "update" shouldn't occur until after 4am. I'm from the school that you put in the time to build something once and build it right.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Astronomy Information Plugin - useful to amateur astronomers
After thinking about it a bit, the easiest path will be to just provide clearsky clock information for "this evening." Otherwise, I have to add another layer of menus to keep things from getting cluttered. So, instead of providing the CSC summaries for cloud cover etc. for two evenings as it does currently, it'll just be for the evening hours of the given day. The data will be presented in blocks of time, probably 7-10, 10-1, 1-4 and will average the data for each block of time. Now, this will mean (because I'm too lazy to make it smarter), if you look at a clock after midnight, it'll be showing the data for the next evening and not for the evening that is in progress.

The CSC data is an average from 7PM to 3AM for the two dates it provides data for. I figured that was generally when people observe. The very first version used to show the hour-by-hour data, but it was displayed as numbers corresponding to the values for each hour and wasn't very user friend. So, I went with the averaging approach figuring that it would provide enough information to at least decide whether or not to check the website.

Thanks for making this helpful plugin. I have it programmed to display on the SB on my roof deck (which is where I do observing). I see that its reading corresponds to the date, but what about to the current time? The clear sky clocks cycle from poor conditions to excellent or vice versa. Does what the plugin says correspond to the current time or is it some kind of average? How about the possiblity of a modification showing the trend of each of the scales instead of taking up space with tomorrow's conditions? For example showing dusk through dawn for the area selected with a time for each reading, just like the csc? Could be text or graphics based and would be more helpful to let one know that conditions will improve later (stay up late) or get worse (pack it in now). I often don't check the csc before hauling my stuff up to the roof, so it would be nice to have it there on the SB.

V1.3 of the AstroInfo plugin is now available. V1.3 only makes a couple of minor changes: - Fixes a problem where the moon rise and set times were "unknown." - Maintains the moon rise and set time ordering of Heavens-Above. Heavens-Above sometimes shows the set time before the rise time depending on where we are in the moon cycle. - Supports the case when Heavens-Above indicates the moon does not rise or set on a given day - Adds a delay between showing today's date and showing the menu. When originally written, in Slim6.2, there was a natural delay which allowed the date to be on the screen for a second or so. With Slim6.5, I found it was too fast, so I added a delay to force the date to be on the screen for a second or two. As always, let me know if you have any questions or comments.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: Astronomy Information Plugin - useful to amateur astronomers
AstroInfo is a plugin that displays: o Clear Sky Clock information for the next one or two evenings depending on when it is invoked and the data presented by the o Clear Sky Clock webpage. An "evening" consists of the time fram starting between 7PM and midnight and ending at 3AM. (Note to the 60 of you who might care: Last week, I announced a Cleark Sky Clock plugin. The ClearSkyClock plugin is now depracated and replaced by the AstroInfo plugin.) o Current moon data consisting of the percentage full the moon is and when it is scheduled to set next. o Listing of any Iridium flares scheduled for the next 24 hours. You can find a download page for the plugin here: http://www.wideopenwest.com/~jesslex/plugins/astroinfo_plugin.html Any comments can be directed to this thread or via private message. Thanks, Mitch --- More Information About Clear Sky Clocks and Iridium Flares -- Clear Sky Clocks are used by amateur astronomers to see the forecasts related to key weather phenomenon for stargazing: cloud cover, transparency, and seeing. More information about what a Clear Sky Clock is can be found at: http://cleardarksky.com/csk/index.html. Iridium flares occur when the sun reflects off satellites that are used for the Iridium satellite phone service. They are pretty nifty and it's worth trying to catch one sometime. More information about them can be found at www.heavens-above.com. -- Mitch G Mitch G's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=548 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21022 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
