WeatherTime Screensaver Plugin for Slimserver
March 11th, 2006
Upgrade your network music player to a weather station now! Get the free WeatherTime Screensaver Plugin for Slimserver - brought to you by GL Networks Inside.
WeatherTime is a screensaver to show graphical weather forecasts along with the current date and time on Slim Devices great network music players SLIMP3 and Squeezebox. It is a intended replacement for the standard DateTime screensaver.
Neat Features
- fetches weather data online from Wunderground.Com
- displays graphical icons for weather conditions along with weather data
- supports both metric and imperial units
- supports English, German, French (contributed by Daniel Born) and Dutch (contributed by Willem Oepkes and Mark Ruys) menus and weather infomation


Installation
- For the 7.x series of Squeezecenter download WeatherTime 2.2.1 (zip) and visit the project’s page on Googlecode for further instructions.
- For the 6.5 series of Slimserver download either WeatherTime 1.9.5 (zip) or WeatherTime 1.9.5 (tar.gz)
- Extract the archive into the ‘Plugins’ directory of your Slimserver installation
- Restart Slimserver
- Activate the plugin and set up the WeatherTime options in Slimserver’s plugin settings
- Activate WeatherTime as a screensaver for off-mode and/or on inactivity in your player settings. The easiest way to do this is the SlimServer web frontend (Player settings).
Hints and Tips
- You can browse through the weather forecasts of the coming days with the up and down arrows on your remote.
- You can manually start (e.g. not enabling it as a screensaver) WeatherTime from the Plugin menu of your player - press PLAY.
- To avoid truncation of the date and time information, choose short display formats in Slimserver’s Server Settings -> Formatting. Even shorter date formats are available in WeatherTime’s plugin settings. You may also choose not to display the date at all.
- Report issues and seek solutions at the Slim Devices Plugins Forum WeatherTime thread
Restrictions & Known Bugs
- Needs a Squeezebox2 or better to show weather condition icons and detailed info, the SLIMP3 and SqueezeboxG devices will show text only information
- Truncation of weather condition texts may occur occasionally for rather long texts

Great utility. Thanks! One comment/question: How do you start WeatherTime manually? I don’t see that option, I can only see the option to set it as a screensaver. Thanks!
2. info | April 2nd, 2006 at 1:30 pm
@SR: You are right - WeatherTime is meant as a screensaver only. Should I treat this (manual start via the plugin menu) as a feature request
?
3. Kyle | April 4th, 2006 at 9:26 am
This is so cool! Any chance in getting the date and time to scroll instead of truncating it? Due to the wife, I can’t use 24hr time. She likes the little am/pm label which eats up screen space and usually pushes my date off to the right.
If you were able to make it scroll, it would also be nice if we could configure the scroll rates independent to the global ones. This way, we could make the date scroll slower and less often to make it easier to read (or would it?).
4. info | April 4th, 2006 at 9:44 pm
@Kyle: I’ll look into it soon, can’t promise anything regarding scrolling, though.
5. Charley | April 11th, 2006 at 3:07 pm
Great Plug-in. It was working great for me with SoftSqueeze but after adding my new SqueezeBox hardware, I don’t get a graphical display anymore. How can I get the nice graphics back again? Thanks.
6. Tom | April 13th, 2006 at 3:38 am
This is a very cool utility indeed!
I have one observation, one possible issue, and one feature request
Observation: I also found it a little confusing to know how to start the display, but I don’t think there’s any need to do it any differently than now, just a little more clarity in instructions about how to configure screen savers.
Possible issue: At one point when I was messing around with settings this evening, the SB got into a state where loud noises were being produced. Once I turned all three screensavers back to the defaults, the noise stopped, and when I re-enabled weather it resumed working correctly. I tried several half-hearted attempts at reproducing this, but was not able to.
Feature Request: Why not have a 3-day or 5-day forecast instead of just tomorrow?
Thanks!!!
Tom
7. Michael J | April 14th, 2006 at 5:21 pm
This is great! So useful. And to pick up your point in comment 2 above, YES! Please please do allow a manual startup option! The ability to quickly look up weather forecasts for the next few days on the squeezebox without having to temporarily set it up as a screensaver would be so very handy. So yes, it is definitely a feature request!

Wow, this is really, really neat. Thanks very much for this!
9. info | May 1st, 2006 at 8:28 pm
@Kyle (#3/#4): V1.6 now allows to set shorter date formats (such as “MM/DD”) in the plugins’s settings. So the truncation problems should be history.
10. Kyle | May 3rd, 2006 at 8:27 am
1.6.1 with slimserver 6.5b1 - 7264 - Linux (May 2nd nightly) crashes with the following when I try to use “MM/dd” format:
Undefined subroutine &Plugins::WeatherTime::Plugin::strftime called at /usr/local/slimserver/Plugins/WeatherTime/Plugin.pm line 2639.
I have to manually edit /etc/slimserver.conf to change the ‘%m/%d’ format to ’std’ to successfully start the daemon up again.
(BTW, I wanted to post this on the slimdevices forum, but it appears to be down right now)
11. info | May 3rd, 2006 at 12:19 pm
@Kyle/#10: Sorry, the perl-includes where messed up in 1.6.1 apparently. 1.6.3 fixes your problem.
12. Ronan | May 12th, 2006 at 10:50 pm
Looks like a very nice plugin but it is crashing my SlimServer on OSX. Seems to load up fine when the server starts, but as soon as the plugin tries to retrieve the weather forecast the server crashes. I see the following in the slimserver.log:
2006-05-12 22:42:19.9671 SlimServer done init…
Can’t use string (”Time::localtime”) as an ARRAY ref while “strict refs” in use at (eval 67) line 32.
2006-05-12 22:44:20.9088 Got to the END.
2006-05-12 22:44:20.9090 Got sigint.
2006-05-12 22:44:20.9091 SlimServer cleaning up.
Any ideas? Is this an OSX peculiarity? I have Perl 5.8.6 (darwin)
13. info | May 13th, 2006 at 12:08 pm
@#12/Ronan: This should be fixed since WeatherTime 1.6.3. I will contact you by mail to make sure you get things up and running.
14. Ronan | May 13th, 2006 at 1:53 pm
Thanks so much! Worked a treat.
15. Ludovico | May 15th, 2006 at 10:16 pm
Thank you for this great plugin (with nice sun and clouds, too
). I made a couple of changes:
- I added the overlay bell as in DateTime so I can see if the alarm is on;
- I tried to change the update mechanism because the actual one (a timer that calls tictac that calls update()) breaks the Caller ID plugin (http://www.thespicers.net/cid.html): after just one second (instead of 30) the screen returns to the weather page. My way seems to be ok but I don’t really know how the update stuff works (my SB has been turned on for the first time yesterday) and I think I might have broken the scrolling system.
If you’d like to take a look, here you can find a patch against the 1.6.3 release. It’s very small:

16. Sam Lowry | May 26th, 2006 at 6:43 pm
Hi-
I love this plugin. Works great. I did have an unusual thing happen last night, I got a ? instead of a graphic icon like usual. I think it was because the forcast was “Windy”. No big deal, it isn’t windy that often, but I figured you should know in case you wanted to create a new icon.
- SL
17. info | May 27th, 2006 at 9:55 am
@#16/Sam Lowry: Thanks for your report. WeatherTime does not provide a complete set of icons at this time, indeed. I just added a note to the Restriction & Known Bugs section to clarify that. Help on this would be appreciated!!!
18. Charley | May 31st, 2006 at 2:45 am
This is a very nice plugin but I still have two issues. One is that every time that the Slim Server is stopped and re-started, this plug in goes back to a 2 line display with no graphics. If I uncheck the plug-in, click the “change” button, check the plug-in, and click the “change” button again, the graphics come back.
I also don’t see any options anywhere to select the shorter date format of “MM/DD”. I don’t see it in the plug-in section or in the formatting section.
I am running Slim Server 6.2.2 and version 1.6.3 of the plugin for Windows XP.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
19. George | June 2nd, 2006 at 6:01 am
Awesome little program. I am using 1.6.3 and the date is getting truncated.
For example:
12:59:16 AM - 06/02 (only half of the last 2) is showing
Is it possible not to display the seconds so as to make more room for the rest of the date?
20. George | June 2nd, 2006 at 6:03 am
Forgot to add that I am using a Squeezebox V3
21. info | June 2nd, 2006 at 3:23 pm
@George (#19/20): Hi George, yes absolutely. You can change the time format in SlimServer’s Settings (Formatting) and if that is still not short enough, you can select a shorter date format in WeatherTime’s plugin settings (i.e. a date format without the year).
22. Charley | June 2nd, 2006 at 8:33 pm
FYI - In reference to #18 above, I found my problem. I had installed a previous version in the Plugins directory without using the path names. This put everthing in the plugins directory, not in the Weathertime directory. I believe that this was overriding the new version that I just installed in the correct location. Now all my problems are gone and this plugin is working great.
23. info | June 2nd, 2006 at 11:03 pm
@Charly (#22): Good to hear that!
24. makingmark | June 4th, 2006 at 1:31 am
I like Ludovico’s alarm bell idea. And I can edit the pm file. But where do I put his code?
25. info | June 6th, 2006 at 1:36 pm
@Mark (#24): Ludovico’s diff file has to be applied by “patch Plugin.pm < weathertim-bell-update.diff”. I intend to include the changes in the next WeatherTime Release (1.6.4).
26. Jose | June 6th, 2006 at 7:21 pm
Will version 1.6.4 support the new MySQL 6.5b1 builds?
27. Evan | June 14th, 2006 at 7:47 pm
I think you are a little off on the weather.com registration. The way I read it they want you to register for your application and embed your key. This way they can gauge how much traffic is geing generated by your app. I don’t think they actually want each user to register.
That said, I love the plugin and am kicking myself for upgrading to a MySQL build. Please release an update that will work in the new builds.
28. kongo09 | June 21st, 2006 at 1:17 pm
Does this also work with the Squeezebox 3 connected straight to the Internet? Or do I have to have a PC running for the applet to work?
29. info | June 21st, 2006 at 9:03 pm
@kongo09 (#28): WeatherTime is a plugin for Slimserver - so yes, you have to have one running somewhere.
It would be nice, if it could be integrated into SqueezeNetwork, though. But I must admit, I don’t know if this is possible or what would have to be done…
30. Mike | June 23rd, 2006 at 2:38 pm
How do I get my partnerID/key?
I signed up at weather.com but no sign of the partnerID/key
Any advice welcome
Thanks v much
Mike
31. info | June 23rd, 2006 at 2:49 pm
@Mike(#30): Please make sure to use the link given above (http://registration.weather.com/registration/xmloap/step1) to register as a Weather.Com(R) partner. You should then receive (mail?) your partnerID and key.
32. info | June 23rd, 2006 at 10:05 pm
@(#24,#26#27): Version 1.7 is out - it should run with 6.5 beta MySQL builds and includes Ludovicos alarm bell patches as well.
33. Svenne O'Lotta | June 25th, 2006 at 11:20 pm
I agree, it’s your app that needs a partner id and license key, not every user.
34. info | June 26th, 2006 at 12:10 pm
@Evan(#27)/Svenne(#33): I really would love to save you the hassle of registering directly with Weather.Com(R), but the way things are now - I simply can not make WeatherTime compliant with their Terms of Use for the weather data. I tried to come as close as possible, but , to give one example, you simply can not display full color icons on a Squeezebox, not to mention the SliMP3.
So I leave the responsibility of registering and using WeatherTime up to you. The source code of WeatherTime (file: Plugin.pm, line 36ff. as of version 1.7) has a complete list of issues.
35. Mike | July 3rd, 2006 at 3:24 pm
Thanks for advice about the ID & Key.
It turns out my employer was blocking email from weather.com
Now I have the ID & Key and the plugin is GREAT,
Thanks again
Mike
36. Tom | July 9th, 2006 at 2:27 pm
Firstly thanks for this great plugin it just makes the Squeezebox even more usefull. The Metric/Imperial units does not seam to work though? Can not get metric to work. Using verion 6.3.
37. Phil Treble | August 8th, 2006 at 9:01 am
Is there a way of getting UK forecasts with this plugin?
38. info | August 8th, 2006 at 9:20 am
@Phil (#37): UK forecasts are definitely supported at www.weather.com. I heard though, that this is a somewhat smaller subset of what www.weather.co.uk has to offer - please make sure you find your location codes on the US site - WeatherTime gets it’s data there.
39. Stuart | August 22nd, 2006 at 11:37 am
Yeah, no problem with UK weather here. One thing I would like is to see humidity % instead of Precip.
40. Nick | August 31st, 2006 at 7:45 pm
Great plugin! I wonder how difficult it would be to use NOAA data. From what I understand, NOAA doesn’t require registration and data can be retreived via FTP. Actually, this is where weather.com gets a majority of information, then modifies it for it’s own purposes.
41. Jo | September 6th, 2006 at 4:09 pm
This is such a great tool! I updated to the new 2.5 server beta (which works much better than the current version) but unfortunately this essential plug-in does not work with the .5 version. Is there an update planned? Pleeeeeeeeeeeze?
42. info | September 7th, 2006 at 7:51 pm
Cparker has put together a patched version of the Plugin.pm file, that should work with 6.5beta - check it out in the foum: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=132087&postcount=146
43. James | September 19th, 2006 at 11:38 pm
I just installed the plug in for my Squeezebox2 here in Beijing, but the time does not update at all and the weather is perpetually ‘loading’. My internet connection is good, there are no major internet blockage issues, so what is the problem?
44. James | September 19th, 2006 at 11:57 pm
Never mind… I uninstalled my 6.5.0.b beta and reinstalled 6.3 and now it works fine.
45. Eno | September 21st, 2006 at 4:54 pm
Hi,
Slimserver 6.5 is released, - and I’m looking forward to an update for WeatherTime.
It is a very “nice” plugin, and the new version of Slimserver has to wait for the plugins in use, among them WeatherTime!
Anyone who knows………?

Seems to be a good time for a new release. I will see what I can do at the weekend…

47. Vincent | September 21st, 2006 at 11:26 pm
Hi, great plugin, can’t do without anymore ! Which is also a problem, as I have now updated to 6.5 and the plugin is stuck on “WEATHER FORECAST LOADING” prompt with date and time displayed, but nothing else shows up, i.e. no graphical display and most importantly no weather forecast !
It seems like the text alignment “pushes” the whole display area to the left…any idea ?
Thanks

50. Niclas | October 2nd, 2006 at 8:56 pm
Hi,
nice plugin.
Since I own a weather station, I would’ve loved support for e.g. Weather Underground. Then in your weather plugin I should just add my own weather station ID and get the weather data/forecasts etc. directly in my SB3! Now I’ve been using the too overloaded SuperDateTime plugin to do that, but yours are more suited to what I’m looking for and way nicer (less overloaded wit stuff I don’t need)
51. KyleC | November 5th, 2006 at 7:30 am
Looks great! One problem: mine is only displaying “Tomorrow Mostly Sunny” and I’m not getting any current info, i.e. “Today Clear” a la your sample screens on this page. Is there a setting I need to change, or is it just the info I’m getting from weather.com?
52. info | November 5th, 2006 at 8:51 pm
@KyleC (#52): You will see today’s weather till afternoon, then tonight’s weather and in the evening tomorrow’s weather forecast.
53. Phil Treble | November 23rd, 2006 at 4:48 pm
Still need some help with missing icons? I’ll have a go… what format do you need them in?

I have 5 squeezeboxes in my home and this screensaver is on every one of them’. It’s clean, functions flawlessly and does the job exactly as it should. When I install Slimserver this is my first plugin download. Nice work!
56. Randy Avery | January 28th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
Works awsome, no combatibility issues SB/3 and latest server and player software. I was wondering is there a way that the data can be derived from a site called Weather Underground www.wunderground.com. I know they have “Weather Stickers” that can be added to websites. WU has a little more accurate data for my area than Weather Channel.
Thanks for a great plugin….
Randy
57. info | January 28th, 2007 at 9:19 pm
@Rany (#56) Wunderground support is not to be expected in the near future, I’m afraid.
I am looking into alternatives to Weather.Com, anyhow - AccuWeather might be the one…
58. cary | January 29th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Got it working! I was hoping for more settings, where I could set the current temperature to be the dominant item on the left side of the squeezebox.
Great plug-in.
Thanks!
59. mike | February 7th, 2007 at 4:45 pm
Actually, that is a great idea. I am using a squeezebox, so the display is not too big. I would love to be able to do away with the time altogether, or at least minimize it, so that the weather information has more room to display.
I don’t know anything about programming, so I don’t know if this is possible, but it would be nice.
Great plug-in, by the way. Works like a charm!
60. Phil | February 8th, 2007 at 9:51 am
Screensaver
Hi - Love the plugin - thanks
Does the screensaver actually ’save’ the screen. I know that screensavers are for CRTs, and clearly SB doesn’t have a CRT.
So, if I leave the screensaver on a brighter setting, will it affect the LEDs?
Thanks Phil
61. info | February 8th, 2007 at 9:58 am
@Phil (#60): I don’t think the Squeezeboxes’ diplay needs actual screen saving. I never heard about any burn in problems with the display.
62. Stephan | March 4th, 2007 at 6:44 pm
Very nice plugin!
One request though:
I would love to be able to select the language apart from the Slimserver setting (e.g. Slimserver: English; weather: German).
Regards, Stephan
63. John Lloyd Davies | March 6th, 2007 at 4:36 pm
I keep getting “No forecast available”. Any ideas, plase?
64. Ivan Mykytyn | April 16th, 2007 at 11:08 am
Great plugin. I have used it on Mac and PC without any issues.
The addition I would most like to see is a dual location option… I work in one country and have my home in another, the comparison is always of interest. Fliping between two settings regularly would be great.
Thanks for all the work you have done.

65. ken | October 25th, 2007 at 11:01 pm
I love the weather plugin, but are you going to update it for slimserver 7.0 (now called SqueezeCenter)? I’ve updated to 7.0 to get better sync’ing and use the new (beta) graphical remote, but I do miss seeing the weather forecast on the SB.
66. info | October 26th, 2007 at 9:55 am
@ken (#65): I eventually will. I’m also playing around with the Jive hardware platform beta ATM. I can’t promise any release date, but if you drop me a mail, I can send you a working version that just lacks the setup screens.
67. Stephane | October 26th, 2007 at 7:53 pm
Hi, I love your plugin too but unfornulately it doesn’t work on SqueezeCenter 7.0.
So, if you have a little time to drop you plugin into 7.0 … it could be great.
Like Ken, I do miss seeing the weather forecast on the SB.
68. Mattias | October 28th, 2007 at 12:36 am

Excellent work. Thank you so much.
77. Vincent Roberge | March 13th, 2008 at 4:16 am
This is an excellent plugin. I have been using it for a year and I love it. Something that could be added is: instead of having to choose between precipitation or wind for the third line, using the left and right arrow on the remote control, we should be able to browse the precipitation, the wind, the atm pressure… I believe this would be easy to include and it would be useful (I cycle a lot and both the wind and the precipitation are very important to me) Thank you very much.
78. Neil Robinson | May 1st, 2008 at 11:23 am
Excellent plugin, the most useful function (besides music) of my squeezebox players!
I’m a little bit worried however, about the email that I received yesterday from Weather.com. I’m guessing all users received this.
Does this mean that the software will no longer work by this time next week - I really hope not.
79. martin.rehfeld | May 1st, 2008 at 11:29 am
We have already opened a ticket regarding this topic. The proposed solution is a switch to Wunderground as a data source. Can anybody help with this migration? That would be very welcome…
80. martin.rehfeld | May 5th, 2008 at 9:05 pm
… just to let you know the switch to Wunderground is mostly complete - first available with version 1.9.4 / 2.1.

Had this running on my previous version of SC and loved it, but now that I’ve upgraded to 7.1 it no longer runs

Hi Martin,

Now - any chance you could mod the code to pick up on this for precipitation?
See the URL for the post in the plugins forum.
Many thanks, Andy.
84. Remco Uitendaal | July 29th, 2008 at 12:05 pm
I am using this plugin for a while now and I love it. I first used it with my SB3 and now with my Transporter. Is there any way to show the time/date information on the second screen of the transporter while using the first screen for all the weather info?
Keep up the good work and looking forward to a new version where the precipitation change is working again.
85. Martin W. | July 30th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Just thinking a short weather forecast would be useful on my Transporter screen and immediately found your great plugin (and finally even got it running on SqueezeCenter 7.1 after patching the version info in “install.xml ;o). Many Thanks for the nice work!
But I would like to repeat the question of the previous post: Is it possible to make use of the Transporter’s 2nd screen (e.g. to display weather info of the following day)? That would really be the finishing touch…
A question is where the english weather description is coming from together with german week days (having german as interface language).
Keep on going,
Martin
86. Martin Rehfeld | August 2nd, 2008 at 11:54 pm
@#83: Good news: WeatherTime 1.9.6 and 2.1.1 respectively support the newly delivered precipitation data by Wunderground.

Hi Martin,
My family is a great fan of your plugin
But Squeezecenter 7.2 is released and I’m sorry to say that 2.1.1 does not work anymore. I tried to change the ‘maxVersion’ in the install.xml but this did not do the trick
SC says “Can’t use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at Plugins/WeatherTime/Plugin.pm line 2099.”
May be a simple thing?
Regards,
Peter

I love this plug-in! It’s been my ‘power off’ screen saver from the start.
I would like to replace a Roku Soundbridge Radio with a Squeezebox Boom, but never without the weather plugin. Will the plug-in work with the Boom, given it’s smallish display ?
thanks

Hi Donald
I have it running riht now on my classic sueezebox and on my boom. The only thing is that the screen is a little bit shorter and the date and time are going out of the screen on the right. Maybe it will be a new release for the boom. Otherwise, I will try to understand the code to have something that works better.
