The dependency updating workflow currently generates commits that appear to be from my id, but they aren't signed, making them show as unverified. The workflow should be changed to use a dummy id/email.

Currently, the background on the "waiting for results" screen is just black. It should follow the styling of the results screen (bg image & text colors)

Add back the option to adjust the brightness of the background image

Currently, names that are too long to display are truncated, commonly resulting in partial first names being displayed.

We should detect when truncation will occur, and instead, just print the 1st letter of the name.

Add the ability to select a race result in the Directories tab and publish that to the scoreboard.

When generating the dolphin.csv from the start list files, the events are currently sorted in numeric order. The events aren't always run in that order. Provide an interface to allow manually re-ordering the events so that they will appear in the intended order in the Dolphin software.

The current generation of "Chromecast with Google TV" seems to have a shorter timeout, so it returns to the screensaver if there is too much delay between races.

Workaround: disable then re-enable the Chromecast Enable "developer options" and set "Stay awake"

Since we get the individual times from the do4, we could track the consistency of the individual lane timers. For example:

• Number of races w/o a time
• Whether they are consistently fast/slow relative to the final time (Need to come up w/ a measure of significance here)

Currently, wahoo-results is built as a standalone executable via pyinstaller. Unfortunately, this method tends to generate a lot of false positive virus warnings--- it's a known problem w/ pyinstaller.

There are several other utilities for packaging python programs as windows executables, and we should investigate whether there is any advantage to using one of them.

Add a "Clear" button to the Run tab that allows clearing the contents of the scoreboard.

Currently, names look like they are truncated a bit too much, leaving an excessive gap between the end of the name and the start of the time.

Reduce the multiplier here to decrease the gap:

Alternatively, don't use a multiplier and just calculate the field based on an extra character "000:00.00"--- Equivalent to 1.13 multiplier in a fixed-width font.

The scoreboard stopped displaying results once the event list was exhausted from the Dolphin. Restarting the scoreboard after loading the proper event list into the Dolphin software fixed the problem.

I suspect WR improperly handles the default event names that are used by the Dolphin once an imported list is exhausted.

Integrate w/ bugout.dev Sentry.io to get error/crash reports.

After it's been running for several hours, the scoreboard stops transmitting results to the enabled Chromecast devices.

Disabling/re-enabling doesn't fix the problem. The program must be restarted.

Affected version: v0.6.1

https://docs.sentry.io/platforms/python/configuration/integrations/socket/

Display a message if there's a newer version available

Starters like to check their work. Add an option to display the calculated order of finish on the scoreboard inconspicuously.

Turns out, you can't update a tkinter.Variable from outside the main loop. Updates need to run through a queue and get picked up as events in the main thread.

Approach:

Sentry: WAHOO-RESULTS-H

Currently, the scoreboard needs to be displayed from a PC, either via an HDMI output or some sort of (wireless) screen mirroring setup (e.g., AnyCast).

It looks like it would be feasible to implement wireless display using a Google Chromecast.

Notes:

• Chromecast supports PNG images and it shouldn't be too difficult to render the scoreboard into a local *.png for display
• We'd need to run a simple web server on the local machine for the Chromecast to fetch from. This could be added to W!R fairly easily.
• There are python libraries to discover/control the Chromecast devices such as PyChromecast

When the scoreboard computer's address changes, automatically detect the change and update the active Chromecasts.

Discussed in #138

When the event number is <100, the start list filename is not properly generated, resulting in names not being displayed.
Ex, for event 21, the filename is being generated as E21.scb instead of E021.scb, resulting in the start list file not being found for the race.

The above should be wrapped in a try to catch KeyError

Issue: WAHOO-RESULTS-9

Add a tutorial to the docs on how to theme the scoreboard:

Tasks

• Tutorial: Adding a simple background image
• Tutorial: Creating a background w/ regions for the text

Depends on:

• gorakhargosh/watchdog#982

Another option is the workaround: gorakhargosh/watchdog#982 (comment)

Versions of pychromecast 13.0.2 and later don't work on windows due to the lack of support for poll()

• home-assistant-libs/pychromecast#681

Potential fix:

• home-assistant-libs/pychromecast#690

When writing the CSV for the Dolphin, events are incorrectly sorted as strings: 1, 10, 11, 12, ..., 2, 20, 21
They should be sorted as numbers: 1, 2, 3..., 10, 11, ...

The scoreboard currently just reads the .do4 result files.
This issue tracks investigating the Dolphin network protocol as a source of data.

Would this allow live race information such as elapsed time during the race or the current heat in the water as opposed to the one that just finished?

It appears that .scb files may use windows-1252 encoding, causing parsing errors when encountering certain characters.

Add the ability to provide a separate foreground text color for the even lanes and the odd lanes

Provide proper documentation, either via gh pages or readthedocs. The current repo readme is unwelcoming for those unfamiliar with GitHub or software development.

Include:

• Configuration screen and explanation of options
• Recommendations on how to show the scoreboard at meets

Also change the in-app URL to point to the docs instead of the GitHub repo.

This probably affects all versions <= 0.8.0

Sentry: WAHOO-RESULTS-C

Currently, the final time is suppressed (--:--.--) if there is > 0.30 delta between the fastest and slowest time reported for a lane.
Whether or not to do this should be configurable.

Add the ability to run the scoreboard in full screen mode in addition to having a maximized window

When there is no startlist (scb) for the event/heat in the do4 file, the times are not displayed

Provide an interface to browse to a .do4 file and have the scoreboard display the results as if the race just happened.

Version: 0.3.1

When using fullscreen mode, the scoreboard only displays on the primary screen, even if the application is moved to a secondary screen before starting the scoreboard.

When the scoreboard is first started, display a "waiting for race results" message instead of E1/H1 and a blank scoreboard.

The scoreboard image is currently sent as a PNG to the CC, but if the user has a detailed background (i.e., a picture), the resulting PNG may be quite large, causing a delay while the CC loads it.

• Add monitoring of the image size
• Investigate the use of webp for the image format (lossy or lossless)
• Investigate dynamically switching to JPG if necessary

Since we're now detecting new start list files automatically, it should automatically generate and/or update the dolphin_events.csv file.

Add an option to display the swimmer's team affiliation next to their name.

Add a custom web receiver for WR so that we can set options and customize the style of the player.

Using this, it may be possible to get around having to configure the CC w/ GTV devices to disable timeouts
