Minbar Prayer Times and the Islamicfinder.org website

[Christopher Forster]

Binary package hint: minbar

Salam,

I am using Sabily Badr 11.04 and Minbar. I get the latitude and longitude from Islamicfinder.org. The Prayer Times in Minbar however end up being different from the Islamicfinder.org website.

Connect Minbar to the Islamicfinder.org website

Connect Minbar Prayer Times software to the Islamicfinder.org website and synchronize prayer times.

IslamicFinder provides prayer times for more than 6 million cities worldwide with quite accurate information about their Qiblah direction, distance from Kaaba (Makkah), longitude, and latitude.

"Even if this exists it would be unreliable, as times cannot simply be calculated on the basis of degrees, and a potential sin."

I run minbar on Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit and it works, now I am changing to 64 bit Ubuntu OS and got the following erros message while running minbar via terminal:

(minbar:15380): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated

However, some days ago I can run minbar correctly without error.

Developer Hussain Ali Khan has made a version of Pray Times! in Objective-C, which is more than just standard C. But it could be easier to correct (and rewrite) the calculation in Minbar if needed.

@bagustris (bagustris) comment #3 Thank you bagustris for taking the time to report this issue. If this is reproducible you could file a new bug report.
