Cumulus Support

Hi,
I have setup Hourly Bluesky.txt Template which works perfect. https://bsky.app/profile/beaumaris-weather.com

However when I setup the Variable Posting Times, none of them work.

My setup is as per image attached and have tested all the Variable Posting Time (Templates I made) using the Fixed Posting Times and all worked, there are no size max issues either.

Maybe I have missed something, though could find limited instruction on how to setup, so not sure.

In Cumulus.ini :

[Bluesky]
Enabled=1
ID=beaumaris-weather.com
Password=hidden
Interval=60
Language=en-AU
BaseUrl=https://bsky.social
VariablePost0=dawn
VariablePostFile0=web/BlueskyDawnstart.txt
VariablePost1=sunrise
VariablePostFile1=web/BlueskySunrise.txt
VariablePost2=sunset
VariablePostFile2=web/BlueskySunset.txt
VariablePost3=dusk
VariablePostFile3=web/BlueskyDuskend.txt

I have attached some Diag files and the Bluesky Templates etc.
Kindest Regards,

Hmm, absolutely nothing in logs!

I'll have to investigate a bit deeper...

Hi Tony,
Your current sunrise is shown as 05:27 so would expect the BlueskySunrise.txt to be run around that time, but nothing in your Bluesky posts nor in the attached MXDiags files around that time. I only use a Dawn Start time for my Variable Posting Time and that works fine. Sorry can't suggest what else to try.

Enjoy,
Paul

Hi,
Thanks Mark and Paul.
OK so maybe this might help your deeper look Mark.
I just noticed that there where actually 1 Dawn and 1 Sunrise post made back on the 4th Dec (see attached images).
Thing here is that I was just testing 4062 for the first time, prior to installing 4063 about 2 hrs after Sunrise on the 5th Dec.
It has not worked since installing 4063 ?
Sadly I do not have any logs from that period. Kindest Regards,

I had seen those successful postings and suspect those uploads was when you were doing the testing of the uploads, and using the Fixed Posting Time.
For testing with b6043 are you able to get these posted using a Fixed Posting Time to see quick result, rather than the Variable Posting Times which occur only once a day.

Hi Paul,
I can confirm they where not using Fixed Posting Time tests.
I have just done as you asked, you will see them pop up in Bluesky now. I turned on Logging prior also : see attached log. Kindest Regards,

Hi Tony,
Yes, that will be helpful for Mark's investigation. My 60-min, Fixed time, and Variable time postings are working fine.

Enjoy,
Paul

OK, found a little bugette, if there are no timed posts defined, the variable posts will not fire.

Fixed for the next build.

Oh Brilliant Mark,
Thanks as always, you are a legend.
Thanks to Paul also.
Kind regards,
