{property} - Insert property as-is
{property?text} - Insert "text" when property is not empty
{property!text} - Insert "text" when property is empty

(where property is e.g. "song", "battery" or "cell-network" - without the quotes)

Examples:
{song!No song} - Insert "No song" when no song is selected
{date} - Insert the current date (short format)

Advanced features:
{script:uptime} - Insert output of "uptime" command
{script:/home/user/test.py} - Insert output of "/home/user/test.py" script

All the available properties will change from version to version, and they can be inserted with the "Insert" button in the GUI (to be end-user friendly and enhance discoverability). Right now, there is: Compact date, Full date, Song artist, Song title, Song "Artist - Title", Cell network name, Internet connection, Battery percentage, IM presence status, Active profile.

More properties are planned for future versions, but not available in 1.0.0 or 1.0.1 (e.g. upcoming calendar entries, more fine-grained date settings, system information, ...).

how to use .py files in billboard?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Is there any chance that we can add short name for months like "Jan", "Feb" etc? (preloaded option)

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

That would be a nice option and also for the day names because here in Sweden {full-date} is too long between September and February so the Year is out of screen.

Added for the next version as {short-month}.

But will you get it at the store in time? Before end of December...

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Okey, I'll guess it's dead now :(

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

I use {full-date} on my screen and it's displayed in english, it looks like:
Thursday, 9 January 2017

Is it possible to have some script/file with names for days and months in another language and use with existing commands (weekday name, month name, etc.) to display them on screen. The above output would be:
Četrtek, 9. januar 2014

Pretty please :)

EDIT: I see sometning like this on page 95, will check there first if I can adapt.

Try: {weekday},{date}

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Code:

import feedparser

f = feedparser.parse('http://example.org/feed.rss')

print f.entries[0].title

execute: ....

/home/developer $ python /home/user/.scripts/rss.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/user/.scripts/rss.py", line 3, in <module>
print f.entries[0].title
IndexError: list index out of range

What's wrong?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

You should use a real url, the entries list is empty:

Code:

>>> import feedparser

>>> f = feedparser.parse('http://example.org/feed.rss')

>>> print f

{'feed': {}, 'bozo': 1, 'bozo_exception': URLError(gaierror(-2, 'Name or service not known'),), 'entries': []}
