Thread: RR 08-02-05... SIRIUS Support ...

check readme.txt for rr.ini parameters that need to be added, then edit your skin to add a button with the command "WEATHER"

Guino, instead of running the weather by using a city from rrconfig ini, could you perhaps alter it to something like "WEATHER;||=Sao Paulo, Brazil;WORLD" which could allow for somthing like "WEATHER;CUSTOMFDCITY||=,Brazil;WORLD" or whatever syntax (due to mixing "Sao Paulo" text with CUSTOMFDCITY as a variable) is required... this would allow us to customize the weather pulling info from say ou favorite GPS program, it would allow us to have a button to switch from like "Home Weather" "Weather at the Beach"... could allow us to have a little clickable map with the area around us and so forth...

OK two things.


1. Can we have a weather units for the UK so speed is in MPH and temperature is in C (I assume those are the only differences between the weather units)

2. As there are sunrise and sundown times in there, can these be used (if available) to switch day and night screens. (maybe you could have seperate variables for these which are updated whenever you get new infor from the weather module)

I second switching skins based on sunrise/sunset times... although doesnt the builtin gammacontrol app have support for calculating that?

i tried to keep RR running normal without specific line in RR.ini

i would like to get that function to calculate sunrise/sunset
just to begin with...

try this and let me know...

RR+.exe

changes from original rr.exe 8/2/05...

- save ini files in INI_PATH (INI_PATH need to be set in RR.ini)
RR.ini
ini_path=d:\my documents

- restore volume stored in 'resume.ini' from hibernation
(INI_PATH need to be set in writable directory also
HibernateReload and HibernateAware must be set TRUE)

- change skin automatically by time set in RR.ini
RR.ini
autoskin=true
daystart=0600
nightstart=1800
(once you change skin in skin browser, auto_skin will be disable
then once you change skin back to right skin depending on time, it will be enabled again)

- added '..' in list to go back to directory where you came from
when you go in to a item listed on 'BROWSE.RRL'
(i use BROWSE.RRL to access into CDROM then i noticed i can not go back to music folder)

- working on dynamic volume
(need to figure out how to get SPEED from FreeDrive
FreeDrive is configured to send speed value to roadrunner but not sure how to optain in RR
this is not FDSPEED showing in RR skin...)

Hi Guino,
In this new release 08-05 the first launch of RR results very more slow in comparison to the preceding , and random I have errors from XP.

I think about returning to the preceding version on my system...

Everytime I add something to RR (Features etc) it is suppoesed to get slower starting up. I can't possibly add stuff without using more space+memory...

I can't comment on the errors unless you provide me with at least some information on the issues.

Honestly I have tried few the new release.

Twice have had error of XP (unfortunately have not read! ) and once, launch MM embedded RR, simple reset my system)

Thanks Guino of the whole job that makes, RR remains the best sw for the Carputer!!

Just wondering if I'm doing this right, or if infact its not possible. I am trying to create a startmenu for my skin. I have created some bmp images, and sent the bits I want transparent in pink, now when I load this as a menu it doesnt show transparent.. I'm I trying to do something thats not coded in ?
