 UNO's HTML Reader Plugin - v2.0.0.0 released [2008-11-25] |
 |
A simple multi URL HTML Reader plugin for LcdStudio v2.1 which also shows your "External IP" from www.whatismyip.com (doesn't require any settings)
From the Settings windows, it is possible to set the "URLs" (each one separated by a semicolon ";" without any spaces) which this plugin reads the HTML code from.
i.e : http://www.blahblah.com/status.php?users;http://www.yadayada.com/status.php?status
After changing the value you must click "Accept Settings" button for changes to apply.
Refresh rate is 1 minute for URLs and 5 minutes for WhatIsMyIp.
You can download it from here
Edit : Plugin and link updated [2010-05-05]
Changes: [2008-07-08]
- Updated WhatIsMyIp URL (more info about this necessary change and the reason why previous version stopped showing IP explained here)
- WhatIsMyIp update interval changed from 10 seconds to 5 minutes (read above link for why)
- Added LastIpCheck DateTime value.
- Updated fetching interval of URLs from 10 seconds to 1 minute
Edit : Plugin updated to version 2.0.0.0 [2008-11-25]
Changes: [2008-11-25]
- Almost completely changed settings screen
- Each URL is now added seperately by using Add New URL button.
- Added Last Check 1 & Last Check 2 DateTime values to each URL for tracking (may come in handy when using custom variables).
- Added Refresh Interval (seconds) to each URL to able to update each URL seperately (mininum 5, maximum 3600 seconds)
- Added Enable/Disable checkbox (the first checkbox in each URL) to enable/disable URLs listening on each URL seperately.
- Added a 2nd checkbox to enable HTML to XHTML conversion (you might have noticed the added HtmlAgilityPack.dll in the package which is needed - it is customized (overridden the .ToString() method)) to able to use DOM approach for easier custom variable creation (and to be able use XSL transformations)
- Added XSL button to supply a XSL transformation file (*.xsl) for converting XHTML content to other representations.
- Added X button to remove any URL which is no longer needed.
- Ability to change External IP fetch URL by manually editing Settings.xml in LcdStudio's folder when LcdStudio is not running. (You can see this reminder in the settings screen's middle button)

I'll check that when I have time. Already guessing where the problem lies though  E.T.A : sometime this week I hope...
Edit : Can try this one? I'm too tired and lazy at the moment, I just wanted to try it (but this should probably do the trick) before I go to bed (also to eliminate the possibility of forgetting about this)

hey mate i am in no rush at all.
I think this is the error log please forgive me if it is not. To produce it i turned off my router (that means that my Ethernet became unplugged) and i started lcdstudio.

Ok, thanks for the log too.
It seems the problem is what I thought it was but I probably missed a step.
I'll nail that bastard down tonight then...

Hey UNOPARATOR,
I like your plugin very much!
Do you thinks its possible to set down the Refresh rate or make it possible to be set by the user?
Thx

Vow someone is using my plugin!!! I didn't see that one coming
I remember having some problems with the refresh rate when changing from the options tab (it was not obeying the interval) so I didn't include it...
But it has been a long time, I might be remembering it wrong
I'll see what I can do... (in a few days)

Come on now, Unop, spare us the melodrama!
You know there are plenty of people out there using your plug-in. Stop playing the poor programmer, and make it better! 
Cheers!

Heh... oops.
Has anyone experienced this HTML Plugin freezing and locking LCDStudio? I had manually delete it and reinstall LCDStudio.
Im not sure what caused it... and Im sure im the only one.
I think it was just the random hard drive gremlins trying to take me away.

If the URLs you entered in the plugin's options are heavy html pages, it may cause locks while retrieving the html code from those URLs...

I was just using the one buy default. Which sounds like has changed now.
But it just sucked that I had to re-install LCDStudio all because of a plugin... at least, I think thats why.
Maybe there were some other factors I'm not aware of.
I was just curious if I was the only one.

I just updated the plugin. WhatIsMyIp needed to be fixed because www.WhatIsMyIp.com changed their page and some other stuff (read the first post why) but still the old version was not freezing anything for me with just the default (WhatIsMyIp) value (no URL entered)...
