Re: WorldClock plugin for MediaPortal v0.3.7

Hi ysmp,
more clocks needs more CPU power, the same problem can occur using digital clocks.
I will not go back to an older branch (or version with 4 clocks), because you have the option the enable/disable the count depending on your machine. For me it works very well on a dual core machine with 40% usage.
And: it was your request to add more clocks!

Cheers, Microplis

WorldClock plugin for MediaPortal v0.4.0

Dear community,
the updated version v0.4.0 of this plugin is ready for downloading.

Informations for users:

• Speech functionality for main clock added
• Astronomy functions (sunset and sunrise time, moon phase) added
• Due to quota limitations, the documentation is not longer part of the archive. You must download the documentation separately from the first post.

Informations for skinners:

• If you want to display additional properties, you must update the skin file. Please take a look into the attached manual (chapter 5) and/or use the included skin file as template.

Troubleshooting for speech functionality:

• To hear the time every hour, the main window must be opened.
• Please check your operating system, if speech option is installed correctly. Additionally please check the mediaportal.log, when a problem persists, you can find the error message "Error initializing Speech Synthesis Engine.".
• By default, Microsoft Anna or Microsoft Sam is installed and configured as main voice. If you want to hear the male voice, please download and install additional voices, e.g. Microsoft Mike, Mary, Lili.

1stdead: Some of my paint routines cannot handle transparent backgrounds correctly. It's a known limitation.


Cheers, Micropolis ;-)

AW: WorldClock plugin for MediaPortal v0.5.2

Hi Alex, for your update.
One minor thing: would it be possible to show the clock only without the black square behind it?
I tried to use my own clock.png in the respective texture properties, but no luck.
My clock.png is shown for a second until your clock with the black squared background is shown.

Re: AW: WorldClock plugin for MediaPortal v0.5.2

Hello catavolt,
currently the plugin use unmanaged C# code (e.g. bitblt routines) to display the clock bitmaps. I've tried a lot of possible solutions to embed the clock picture including a transparent background, but no luck. I'm not familiar with the whole Win32 API routines (or similar MediaPortal routines?) yet, if I found a way I'll publish this.

Cheers, Micropolis

Re: WorldClock plugin v1.0.0 for MediaPortal 1.2.0 and higher

Hi

This is the first time I've tried this plugin, so I'm probably doing something wrong but I can't get it to display anything. I'm using PureVisionHD Blue.

I've set up three profiles with what I think are the correct decimal Long and Lat and tried switching between them, but they all look like this:



In fact I just tried it again and this time MP crashed with "Unhandled Exception" errors and I had kill it with TaskManager.

EDIT: Ignore the topbar.xml error. That came up on the HomeScreen when I started MP because I'd edited it wrongly!
