SqueezeCenter 7.3: you can use the repository URL https://tuxreborn.netlify.com/slim/slim7/repodata.xml in the web Extension Downloader interface instead of manually unzipping the plugin.
Download the plugin and unpack in your Plugins directory.
Releases for SqueezeCenter 7 are available here.
Download FuzzyTime-1.8.zip for SlimServer 6.5.x.If you tend to set your clocks ahead a few minutes to keep you on your toes, FuzzyTime is for you. FuzzyTime provides a screensaver that can display a date/time that is either a fixed or random number of minutes "fast". It can display a character or phrase before the time when displaying a "fast" time as a subtle reminder that the time might be fast. FuzzyTime's settings are configured on a per-player basis, so you can set your bedroom Squeezebox to show a "fast" time while your family room Squeezebox shows the correct time.
When FuzzyTime's screensaver is active, you can press the down button on the remote control to display the real time for a couple of seconds. When displaying the real time, FuzzyTime will display screens just like the stock Date and Time Screensaver (that is, no "~" or other prefix characters).

Hints:
The TimeSpeller plugin that Michael Herger maintains that displays time in words, rounding to the nearest 5 minutes, supports FuzzyTime as of version 1.1.
Below are some plugins I have modified to support FuzzyTime's
"fast" time feature for players that are configured to use
FuzzyTime. The original plugins did not support FuzzyTime,
but the modified versions I host here do.
You can simply install the "Modified version" of the plugin,
following the author's instructions, or use the patch.
Patches are for use with the Unix/Linux/Cygwin 'patch'
utility.
| Plugin | Version | Patch | Modified version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Advanced Alarm Plugin | 1.143 | AlarmPlugin.patch |
AlarmPlugin.pm If you need more than one alarm: AlarmPluginB.pm AlarmPluginC.pm |
| AutoDisplay | 0.82 | AutoDisplay.patch | AutoDisplay.pm |
| XDateTime | 0.1 | XDateTime.patch | XDateTime.pm |
| SuperDateTime 5.x | 5.0.6 | SuperDateTime506.patch | SuperDateTime506.zip |
| SuperDateTime 4.x | 4.0.6 | SuperDateTime.patch | SuperDateTime.zip |
FuzzyTime is designed to facilitate use in other plugins, so they
can display times/dates that take advantage of the FuzzyTime preferences
for a certain Squeezebox. For instance, I modified a version 4.x
release of SuperDateTime to use FuzzyTime with a few lines of code,
adding this subroutine from FuzzyTime/Public.pm:
sub getFuzzyTimeF {
my ($client, $time, $format) = @_;
if ( defined($Plugins::FuzzyTime::Plugin::apiVersion) ) {
return Plugins::FuzzyTime::Public::timeF($client,$time,$format);
}
return Slim::Utils::DateTime::timeF($time,$format);
}
and changing the line
my $time = Slim::Utils::Misc::timeF();
my $time = &getFuzzyTimeF($client);
See the file FuzzyTime/Public.pm for more information about using its routines in your code automatically.
Timers: I have given some thought to how to implement "fuzzy" timer functions that would wrap Slim::Utils::Timers::setTimer() and Slim::Utils::Timers::killTimers to enable things like using setTimer() to have a "7:00 AM" alarm go off when FuzzyTime would display 07:00 AM on that player (instead of using a polling method as the Advanced Alarm Plugin does). See the download directory for "beta" versions of the plugin that include setTimer() and killTimers() code -- and please send me feedback if you try out those APIs!
