Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 
As written before, the events-option has some problems. Yesterday, not a single event was shown - neither "today" or "future" ones. Surprisingly, this morning my current events are displayed properly.

I will keep an eye on that, and will report on that issue.

Nevertheless - I hope, you can fix this some time soon?!

It depends. What kind of events are displayed incorrectly or not at all? Do you have multiple calendars or just one? In what timezone are you? Are the calendars maybe set to a different timezone?

Hey there,

I use several calendars, all set up and synced to google via caldav.

Few days ago, I did a short test, but all seemed to work - though as before, today events were listed in the general events section.
I will run another test now, including single and recurring events all over the weekend. You'll get my report on monday.
fyi: I'm in germany, GMT+1:00.

btw #1: is there an updating schedule of the events-feed?! Like hourly, or so? Or should it be up-to-date immediately?

btw #2: are there any incompatibilities with other plugins? E.g. I'm using calendar feed on the events screen. Can't imagine how, but maybe that causes my issues.

The update happens "immediately" when Billboard updates (which is once every 30-60 minutes - system-aligned to save battery - or when something else on the screen changes, e.g. the battery charge value).

No, that should not be a problem. Billboard uses Qt Mobility's Organizer APIs to read the events directly from the data store.

It works if you go to Settings, Device, Display, Color profile -> Vivid. HTH :)

I agree this should be fixed. Last week I played a video with a raunchy title and forgot to wipe it. Then I went to a shop to buy a data cable for my N9 and the saleslady "auntie" took my phone to test that it works. She saw the title and looked at me like I'm a perv. I was embarrassed and humiliated.

I'm not a programmer but it looks like a minor job to wipe off the title when video is quitted. Please fix it, Thomas.

the billboard app was working fine till my n9 was on PR 1.2, but after pr1.3 update, its not working properly.
To be precise, the text now seems to be compressed and only half the text (left side) of the full sentence is displayed on the screen, and the rest is hidden. Can this be rectified? any pr 1.3 compatible update to be released? please guide

Please read the upgrade info in the Store app for information on how to get it working. Re-install Billboard 1.0.3 and it will start working again.
