Saw your initial post and I have no clue, sorry.
After mine stopped working for 2 weeks or so, all is back to normal. No idea what happened, I did nothing to the system or BB in that time. I use max. 3 events/lines for next 3 days.

AFAIK, there is no line limitation within billboard for external scripts.
My advice would be to double check the script again (or better delete and copy/paste the original again) or ask slarti.
Good luck!

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

on the "next_alarm_only.py" in the billboard scripts, does anyone know how to have it literally print "tomorrow" or "today" if the alarm is tomorrow or today, rather than the name of the day?

@Win7Mac - thanks, got it working

Like I said, next_alarm_only.py kind of sucks. Don't use it. I can say that because I wrote it.

Here I've modified the much better customizable_alarm_lister.py to print 'Today' if the alarm is today, 'Tomorrow' if it's tomorrow and the day of the week if it's something else. The variable weekday needs to be included in the last line for it to work.

I have absolutely no idea why it didn't work for you before, but I'm glad you got it sorted.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Print various attributes of alarm(s) by modifying various things

# Author: slarti



import dbus

from datetime import datetime, timedelta, date



bus = dbus.SystemBus()



time_obj = bus.get_object('com.nokia.time', '/com/nokia/time')

time_intf = dbus.Interface(time_obj, 'com.nokia.time')

alarm_obj = bus.get_object('com.nokia.time', '/org/maemo/contextkit/Alarm/Trigger')

alarms = alarm_obj.Get(dbus_interface='org.maemo.contextkit.Property')[0]

cookies = alarms[0].keys()

alarms_list = []

for cookie in cookies:

        timestamp = alarms[0][cookie]

        attributes = time_intf.query_attributes(cookie)

        alarms_list.append(((timestamp,cookie,attributes)))



alarms_list.sort()



# Change these to your own language in the order

# they are in if you want to print the weekday:



abb_weekdays = ['Mon','Tue','Wed','Thu','Fri','Sat','Sun']



# Choose the limit for the number of alarms (lines) to print:



limit = 5



# If you want to print "No alarms", if there are none,

# leave this as is (the string can be changed).

# If you don't want it, comment this out or delete it:



if len(alarms_list) == 0:

        print 'No alarms'



# Don't touch this:



if len(alarms_list) < limit:

        limit = len(alarms_list)



# This generates what to print on every line:



for i in range(limit):



# Don't touch this:



        alarm_timestamp = datetime.fromtimestamp((alarms_list[i][0])/1000000000)



# You can choose from these:



        if date.weekday(alarm_timestamp) == date.weekday(datetime.now()):

            weekday = 'Today'

        elif date.weekday(alarm_timestamp) == date.weekday(datetime.now() + timedelta(days=1)):

            weekday = 'Tomorrow'

        else:

            weekday = abb_weekdays[date.weekday(alarm_timestamp)]

        title = alarms_list[i][2]['TITLE']

        alarmtime = datetime.strftime(alarm_timestamp,"%H:%M")

        time_to_alarm = ':'.join(str(alarm_timestamp - datetime.now()).split(':')[:2])

        snooze = alarms_list[i][2]['snooze']+'min'



# This is the special character. Look for the Python source code

# string at e.g. http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/index.htm



        sc = u"\u2691"



# Here you can decide what to print in which order:



        print (weekday+' '+title+' '+alarmtime+' '+time_to_alarm+' '+snooze+' '+sc).encode('utf-8')

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

I tried to use the "bluetooth_status.py" script in BB
and added the following line to the configuration:

{script:/home/user/MyDocs/blutooth_status.py}

But nothing happens.
Have I forgot something, should the File be executable?
The other Things in Billboard are working fine.

Thanks for any Help

You have a typo there, should be
{script:/home/user/MyDocs/bluetooth_status.py} I guess.

All scripts need permission (chmod +x).

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Hello Win7Mac,
you are right, I made a mistake by typewriting the line of my N9.
But the original is correct.
Now I try to make the script executable.

Thanks for the Help

This is not strictly true. I usually put my scripts in /home/user and simply run them with the interpreter {script: python script.py). That way there is no need to type in a path or chmod the scripts.

thanks slarti, i had all my scripts in /home/user and did not realize i could cut out the path, has certainly saved some clutter and space in billboard now! very neat! :)

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Is there way to make script that tells if phone is locked with security code?
I use long delay+secure device script from N9Qt so I dont alway remember is my phone locked or not and have to check it before I leave it.
This would make it much easier.

Thanks

2013-08-28 15:50

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Code:

qdbus --system com.nokia.devicelock /request com.nokia.devicelock.getState 1

Will probably get you the current state of devicelock. I'll leave the rest to you.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Also, if you already used it with N9QT, you can use profilematic:

Code:

sh -c "sh /opt/N9QTweak/Secure/device_secure.sh"

Theres build in delay feature in N9 so why would I use profilematic. :p

I just make so that it shows in LPS that device is secured.

And thanks for help Slarti I think that will do. :)

print f.entries[0].title

this is excellent! i have written a python script with your instructions, and it will work when i probe the script via command, eg python /home/user/rss.py, it shows the news headline output fine in the command window, but for some reason it just never displays in billboard, just blank!

what am i doing wrong? :p

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Its ready now:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

#Tell if device is secured by security code



reply=$(qdbus --system com.nokia.devicelock /request com.nokia.devicelock.getState 1)

if [ "$reply" == "0" ]; then

    echo "Not Secure"

else

    echo "Secured"

fi

Is there any way to get it update faster?
Now it takes long to change to right.

Edit: Found way from this thread, will test soon. :)

Edit2: Is there good white lock icon in phone or do I need to make my own? :p

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Noticed that billboard stoped to show my month script:

Code:

#!/bin/sh



month=$(date +%m)

echo | awk -v d=$((month)) '{split("בינואר,בפברואר,במרץ,באפריל,במאי,ביוני,ביולי,באוגוסט,בספטמבר,באוקטובר,בנובמבר,בדצמבר",a,","); printf a[d]}'

I run it like this:

Code:

{script:sh /home/user/my_month.sh}

Don't know what a reason that it stoped to work....
Any help ?
Thanks

I want to become more familiar with the Celsius scale. Is there a way to display Fahrenheit and Celsius temperatures at the same time with Billboard/Meecast?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

You could make script that does multiply C by 1.8, and then add 32.
Then you get F. :)

There is an arithmetic syntax error in the index of the month. $month at the moment returns the string "08" and $((month)) returns the error. I really have no idea why this is so and can't be arsed to find out.

In python, it would be something like this:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

from datetime import datetime



months = ['Jan','Feb','Mar','Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec']

month = months[datetime.now().month-1]

print month

At first I trought that those are good. But when I tried em I realised that icons wont show because they are black+transparent not white. :D
I might just invert those.

They show up just fine for me in any color I have set up in BB. Are you sure your font supports it and you can see it at command line?

Billboard expects UTF-8.

Try

Code:

echo -ne '\xF0\x9F\x94\x93'

Thank you very much ! Now it work again :)
But now I see year in the second line.. In previous version of script (when it worked) it shown year also in the first line with day of week, date, name of month..
Can i somehow get the year in the first line too ?
Thanks

try adding

chr(0)

right at the end of your month script

lets try adding the space in the script after each month eg. ('Jan ','Feb '), and removing single space in billboard immediately before {year} incase thats somehow breaking line

also adding +chr(0) after print function to remove spaces

try this as a test, in principle. (i know its not right language) :) but it works here:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

from datetime import datetime



months = ['Jan ','Feb ','Mar ','Apr ','May ','Jun ','Jul ','Aug ','Sep ','Oct ','Nov ','Dec ']

month = months[datetime.now().month-1]

print (month)+chr(0)

billboard:

Code:

...etc...

{day} {script: python /home/user/my_month_he.py}{year}

{ip}

...etc...

p.s. if your script is is /home/user directory, no need to specify path in billboard, just {script: python my_month_he.py} will suffice!

:)

If you type in BB

Code:

{script:echo -ne \xF0\x9F\x94\x93}

...the result is a box? Then your font doesn't support it.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Thanks, i still try both options, but later when i will open my PC. For some reasons if i edit this script on the phone, script stop to work.. Probably somehow encoding changed when i save file.

2013-08-30 08:11

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Ok, tested...
Quaddy, I just added "print month+chr(0)" and it did a job! Now show like I want. Thanks :)
Not needed spaces in month names and not needed removing single space in billboard immediately before {year} :)
Probably in my first test I forgot to add "+"...

slarti, using "stdout month" instead "print month" - the month name disappeared.
Adding "print datetime.now().year" - the year also appeared on the second line :)

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Schturman, try 'printf' instead of 'print' in your script.
But why not handle the whole date in the script, that'd for sure give you 1 line? ;)

Schturman

2013-08-30 09:40

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Will try with prinf later too.. Not tried to put all in one script.. But like said i tired to add year to this script and it jumped to second line..
