*ORIGINAL THREAD* InfoService v1.6 - Feed reader/Twitter reader and weather (1 Viewer)

[Bleazle]

Fafnir changed the weather icons and then i got the same problem like you.

I tested now everything. And i can't even debug this because i havn't got the problem Do you use the test version i've send you? When you start mediaportal you get instant the false temp values?

I'm out of town at the moment so I can't check - I think I'm still using the test version you gave me - if not I'll download it again when I get home and let you know in a few days.

Both i think. Just search the thread here. Someone asked the same question a couple of pages back.


Btw: I have a new version ready. Completely rewritten with download cache for twitter and feeds (for faster updates) and a better twitter client with it's own GUI (looks like the feeds GUI). But before i release a buggy version, i want to have some feedback from other users. So if someone want to try the new version, just write me a pm.

@DieBagger: I did some research with your idea on the GUIMessage thing. Looks like it's pretty easy to do this. I think i will add a Recently Added function to the new InfoService version. The only problem is that MovingPictures, MPTVSeries and other plugins must send a GUIMessage with the information. So there would be a little coding part for the other plugin developers.

These are my modded Blue2wide files. See if you can use them, or parts of them.

Today Weather Backdrops

Hello everybody,

first of all I must say that I am a rookie in customizing MP.
But I'm trying to customize myweather plugin.
I want to have a background image dependent on the today weather.
So I integrated a testpic with InfoService:

    <control>
      <description>test image</description>
      <type>image</type>
      <id>0</id>
      <posX>0</posX>
      <posY>0</posY>
      <width>200</width>
      <height>200</height>
      <texture>d:\test\#infoservice.weather.today.img.small.filenamewithext</texture>
    </control>

In the test folder I placed the diffrent backgrounds.
Now there is the problem that this image isn't updated when I push the refresh button and it isn't updated when I change the city in myweather plugin.
How can I get this solved?

a lot.

The refresh button on the mywheater plugin doesn't update the infoservice weather. You must push the refresh button in the infoservice window. When you change the weather in the myweather window, infoservice will update the data with the new location on the next update interval.

Hi Chris,

ok. Thx a lot.
Is there any other possibility to have a today weather dependent backgrounds in the myweather plugin?
Can I integrate a second image (from a user defined folder) with the same features like the today weather icon?
So that the city change and the refresh button can be used.

Hi Mathias,

The simple answer is yes, taking you code as an example and assuming a directory structure of d:\weatherbg\ and backround images names 0.png to 47.png the code would be.

Basicly #infoservice.weather.today.img.small.filenamewithoutext properity returns just a number between 0 & 47 and you just need to add location and file ext to the back and front.



<control>
<description>test image</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>0</id>
<posX>0</posX>
<posY>0</posY>
<width>200</width>
<height>200</height>
<texture>d:\weatherbg\#infoservice.weather.today.img.small.filenamewithoutext.png</texture>
</control>


Hope that helps.

Edit: Just realised that I maybe should have reas the entire question 1st as not sure this is the answer you are looking for...ho hum!

Cheers

Hi Trevor,

thx for the quick answer.
Basically this is what I'm trying to do.

1. Background depending to the today weather (background of the myweather plugin) -> DONE (similar to your answer)

2. Background should be refreshed with the refresh button in the myweather plugin and by changing the city immediately -> but this is with infoservice and myweather not possible as Chris wrote

So there was the idea to use the same control like the weather icon from the myweather plugin twice but with different images.
Is this possible?

CU Mathias

P.S. I hope my english is not too bad.
