yeah, i figured if i leave <label> empty, the plugin used the right string.. that's the best way..

about that feed.. i don't use it but i was just testing with it.. maybe in cases like that you treat the feed like it doesn't have any images (fill the default ones)..

i have one more feature request: i would like to see the age ("111hours 12minutes ago") exported in a property. also with story description. i would then use them together to show in a scroll box.


edit: i have tracked down missing infoservice.xml error in logs to InfoServiceCore.cs file, line "return Load(GUIGraphicsContext.Skin + @"\infoservice.xml");". you should look at it..

Default images are loaded, if no images was found. They should be in the {skin}\Media\InfoService\ folder. Are there the default images?

Btw: thanks for finding that, i don't know why i readded this line
Btw2: Will add the 2 properties

nope, when using wired top stories rss feed, the thumbs folder (thumbs\InfoService\Wired Top Stories\) gets filled with png files with filenames like a24fb4223...... .. .png
but the png files are very small in size and presumably, empty.. plugin fills the image properties from that thumbs folder (the log says so)..

Found the error. The method which parses the image out of the description field was wrong. I've modified this method to only parse images in the description field if they are *.jpg, *.png, *.bmp, *.gif. But for the Wired feed, there would be still no images, because the "images" in the feed are ads. The source for example of a image is "http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/9MbbpovqUO3qESr2zCMR634k700/1/da" which is obiviously no image.

awesome, i'm hoping you will find the time to implement the requests from yesterday too

also, i was thinking.. this plugin would be the perfect one to implement alternate weather source, together with the new gui window for weather. i'm suggesting yr.no. they have sources for amazing number of places around the globe. no pressure, but it would be very good addon to this awesome plugin.

Just uploaded a new beta release here InfoService - Release: InfoService v1.5 Beta3.

Images out of the description are only taken if they are a valid image file and if they are greater then 10x10. Hopefully the most unvalid images are now ignored. Please post if all images are correctly downloaded/parsed or not.

Btw: As ltfearme updated his MPTvSeries plugin, you can test now the recently added feature with the 2.5 version of MpTvSeries.

Also it would be awesome if some twitter users post some results with the twitter client.

Thought about that. I'll make a note of that

It seems to me that when you enter the normal "Weather" part of MediaPortal, and change between cities, Infoservice doesn't update these properties:

#infoservice.weather.location

#infoservice.weather.today.condition
#infoservice.weather.today.temp
#infoservice.weather.today.img.small.filenamewithext
etc.

The location and the properties for the current day (today) are not updated. The other days (day2, day3, day4, day5) are.

When I close and reopen MediaPortal, it works fine again (until next location-change).

Works fine here. Can you attach the infoservice.log. There should be some informations about that.

Log attached. I run latest InfoService + MediaPortal SVN 24923 on Windows XP. As mentioned the days 2-5 updates fine

Procedure:
Open MediaPortal
Go to Weather
Change location (City)
Navigate somewhere else (like home-screen)



[edit]New logs attached, but I don't see much difference [/edit]

Ah sry, forgot to mention. You need to enable the debug logging option

Btw: Don't know if you noticed, but I've uploaded a new beta of v1.5 here. The log seems from an older version. Found some misspellings in there which i fixed already.

Edit: If you've enabled the debug options, the log is much much much bigger Which version do you use?
Exact the same procedure i did.

New log with 1.5 B3 attached.

City set to Arhus, Denmark
Open MediaPortal
Go to Weather
Change city to Oslo, Norway
Go to any screen with #infoservice.weather.location
It still says Arhus, Denmark (as in my previously attached screenshots). <-- Well, actually this time it's the other way around, but you get me
