This is the other part of my jigsaw to make a radio alarm clock (the others being the Internet Radio and the Automation plugins - which HomeSeer drives.)
Updated for 1.4 and fixed date didn't change if it was left alone too long.
Set up
======
Download, unzip and run (as Adminstrator on Win7) SetUp.Cmd.
Needs new larger font in the fonts.xml file it will check and tell you if this is in there!
Add the contents of the fonts.xml to -
C:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\Skins\<skin>\fonts.xml
Sorry about this, but I don't know an easy way to automatically add this to the fonts file!
Main Screen
===========
Dim will turn off buttons, date etc. and dim the time digits. Display goes off after the predefine d(Dim/Bright) timeouts.
More/F9 will bring up the configuration screen.
Configuration screen
====================
Save button will save the current values.
Chime enable/disable playing the hourly Chime.wav file.
There is a default file copied during set up.
Date Format sets the date format required*.
Meridian button enables/disables the display of AM/PM.
Time Format sets the time format required*.
Timeout sets the sleep period before the (dimmed) display powers off.
*The data and time format are strings used in Visual Basic [VB] Format() calls.
YYYY is the full year, YY just the last two digits, MM the month etc.
See the VB Format command for the complete list of possiblities.
There are a few things that aren't great about this, the chime I haven't used and the sound is fairly awful too!
But this is just designed to be a bedside clock - nothing else.
