Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Now that the F1 season is starting i would really love to have live timing displayed in my N900.

I kept digging the web/forum and found app called live-f1. It is made for Ubuntu and has previously been ported atleast for N770.

I tried downloading the deb-file that supposedly used to work with N770. It installed fine into my N900 but when trying to log in to the live-timing it keeps saying that login request failed: Method not allowed

Could some nice programmer take a look at it and see if it could be fixed for N900?

Just a info.. about this programm when I wanna fill in my password there works nothing.. I think this will be a bug isn`t it ?

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Just spotted this bug report (with fix) filed earlier today:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573733

(nb: not tested it myself)

[update]: Just tried the version in the maemo repository - the password isn't shown on the screen when you type it in (presumably for security), but if you enter it and press return it's accepted and you can see the stats. I guess the debian bug fix mentioned above is already incorporated or formula1.com has just been updated so it's not necessary.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

So you tried giving your formula1.com live timing accounts login details and it failed? They are only asked once and if you gave them incorrectly I'm guessing action is as you described above.

You can ensure that your login details are correct by looking into file /home/user/.f1rc.
If they are incorrect removing the file lets you set them again in app.

[Edit]
It is possible to get more detailed information from your problem if you launch the program from terminal with command: live-f1 -v

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

no.

installed, opened, asking for emali and pw, then it worked. but would be nice to have a widget showing some actuall happenings from f1.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

working for me.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

yep oskkos from live-f1 -v command it says username or password is incorrect ......DOH!.

***NOOB ALERT******
how do i delete /home/user/.f1rc.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

don't know about windows, but using linux you can SSH into your N900 and access the file system (you need to have SSH sever installed on your N900)

I'm guessing there is a windows equivalent.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

yep. In Windows the propably best way is WinSCP. You also have to install ssh server on n900 and then connect via network an winscp to your phone.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Run command below from terminal. That should do the trick.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Thanks ;) for this help !

It works now fine..

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

I see formula1.com are promoting a mobile app that's currently not available for the N900: http://mobile.formula1.com/download

There's a link where you can add your email address to be notified if/when a compatible version is released. Note that they don't ask you what your mobile device is, so fill in your email address using your N900 (not using a PC) as presumably they're using http user-agent detection to identify devices.

thank you
thank you

i do love this community ..... helps idiots like me :)

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

registered ..... fingers crossed enough n900 users sign up ...... is it woth you setting up a new post with a title like 'signup to help get n900 supported in formula 1' so that everyone reads about the signup page on the first post .... will get more signups then which i hope would mean more chance of support for n900?????

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

im looking forward to the race start in 10 mins to see how 'live' this app is ....... come on n900 impress me!

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

I've downloaded the N97 version (I just picked what I guessed was the best Nokia phone version) which is a java mobile (j2me) application, which seems to work with MicroEmulator on the N900.

You need to install Java SE embedded:
http://java.sun.com/javase/embedded/

Then install MicroEmulator:
http://www.microemu.org/

Then the F1 JAR:
http://mobile.formula1.com/download/...7/Formula1.jar

Then run the F1 app in MicroEmulator.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1

Java SE for Embedded 6

o EABI, glibc 2.5, Soft Float, Little Endian

Lookz nice, but why dont watch the telli ;)

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

I used ARMv6 headful.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

whats a telli? never heard of a telli before?

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

me neither.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

this app was great for checking out who is where nice and easily without waiting for updates of the 'telli' ...... great for checking out the gap times and split times ..... all from the comfort of my armchair!

well done alonso ..... hamilton got a podium for us here in uk! well done hamilton!

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

telli = TV :)

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

thanks for that, ive been sat here calling all my friends and family asking, ive posted the question onto many forums, done a google search, asked jeeves but none of them could help!

thanks mivolgo again

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

App worked almost flawlessly.
One bug found however, sector 2 splits didn't show up at all. Any chance for someone looking at it if there's something that can be done for it?

Here's screenshot from my live-f1 running, all 24 cars fit nicely into the screen:
- Xterminal in fullscreen mode (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=88)
- Font is Droid Sans Mono, size 12

To clarify, times below sector 2 are actually times from sector 3. So sector 2 times missing...

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

this is not a bug by this app,

i compared it with the browser version from formula1.com
and there was also a missing row

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Actually it seems that in http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/live_timing.html all the sectors are shown, they are not just aligned properly into columns.
Eg. For Alonso's final lap split times are 32.1, 64.6 and 24.2. live-f1 shows only first and last sector. Screenshot from formula1.com live timing below.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

worked fine. thanks

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Is there an updated deb for OS2008/Diablo?

Thanks.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

I don't seem to be able to instlal. It just says 'unable to install... some papplication packages required for the installation are missing'

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

As root, "apt-get install -f" will fix the missing dependencies if they're available in your configured repositories (as configured in App manager). If they're not available, it'll prompt you to remove the f1 app; you can say "no" if you want and add the necessary repositories and then try "apt-get install -f" again.

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

im afraid that made no sense to me. how do i go about installing it properly?

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

i need libneon27 apparently, how do i get that?

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

Download it from http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...emo1_armel.deb

You can search for packages via http://maemo.org/packages/

Re: Formula 1 live timing -- live-f1
 

hello fellow f1 fans.

i was hoping someone could tell me if they were able to use live-f1 today during the australian gp.

i used this app for most of the 2010 season and never had a problem but today the would just shutdown on start up.

I cheked my login details and even deleted them a few times and tried again. yet it is still not starting up. when doing it xterminal i get this mesage

/opt/maemo/usr/bin/live-f1: login request failed: Server certificate verification failed: issuer is not trusted

If someone could help that would be great. thanks
