Mh, there is only one update process for arhus in the log

Did you wait some time? If you change the weather in the weather gui of mediaportal, then infoservice gets the new location when the weather refresh interval occurs. That means: If you set your weather refresh interval to 1 minute in the infoservice config, then you'll have to wait 1-2 minutes after weather change in mp, till infoservice gets the new location.

I've tried various things to get the information about weather location change immediately, but without success :/

Oh, well that kinda makes sense though, as the updaterate is set to 60 minutes I just assumed that when you changed the city the rest of the info was updated.

If may suggest a method of getting the updated info immediately, this could be done:

Subscribe to the eventhandler in the Start() function (which is run when a plugin starts):

GUIGraphicsContext.OnNewAction += new OnActionHandler(OnAction);

Then you can catch any user-actions with:

// Catch actions up, down, enter/play and home/back/etc.
public void OnAction(Action action)
{

int actwin = GUIWindowManager.ActiveWindowEx;
if (actwin == 2600) //Weather screen
{
//I believe these are the valid actions for Enter/Play/Mouse click.
if(action.wID == Action.ActionType.ACTION_MUSIC_PLAY || action.wID == Action.ActionType.ACTION_MOUSE_CLICK || action.wID == Action.ActionType.ACTION_SELECT_ITEM)
{
//update from cached weather-file and set some kind of flag
}
}
}

Of course you need to create some kind of logic to avoid updating the weather every time the user clicks something. And you would probably need to wait for some seconds while the cached file is updated by MediaPortal...

here is a screenshot from my working skin file to show you why i needed those two properties the list is too narrow so the age text wouldn't fit at all.. now it's in the textbox control but not id 506 because that one gets filled automatically by the plugin, i had to create a new one and hide 506, but it's working nicely..

Looking very good, SilentExcept. I hope you can do some screens of the recently added feature. My modding try with Monochrome skin is really ugly :>

Here is the updated rar file. It has the same name, so don't worry, it's the new one

Re: InfoService v1.32 - 5 day weather/Feeds/Twitter on basic home [04-01-2010] *PLANN

ok, now it starts fine.

#infoservice.feed.titles is filled with news from all feeds,
#infoservice.feed.img is filled with "defaultFeedRSS". that's the default image for all feeds, right?

upon opening the feeds window,

#infoservice.feed.img is filled with defaultFeedRDF (MediaPortal feed is RDF) but that doesn't show in the logs
#infoservice.feed.titles is not changed
and i get listbox facade empty (no items) and none of the properties for the textbox are filled either, i have to select the feed and then it's ok.

that's the bug

what i would also like to have is ShowAllFeedsTickerOnStartup exported as property #infoservice.feed.isalltitles ('yes','no' or similar)
also, your internal property ShowAllFeedsTickerOnStartup should not be set to false if it was set to true until user manually selects the feed.

this is the part from the log file:

This indicates that the password or username is empty. Are you sure the twitter initialization is done correct? If not there should be something like this

"InfoService: Error setting up TwitterService. User or Password is not set. Please set a User/Password in the plugin options!"

in the log. Please also check if the user and password in the mediaportal.xml is set correctly.
