Hi Edsche,

Does Infoservice follow the weather location when it is changed in the MP UI?

It doesn't seem to.

Chris,

Quick question, I have ben testing the current version and noticed that I am now missing the AM/PM indicators from
#infoservice.weather.dayx.day.condition and #infoservice.weather.dayx.night.condition, is this intentional?

Thanks

Yes, thought it would be better to leave it away, because for some languages it's very long. For example in german "AM" would be "vormittags" and "PM" would be "nachmittags". So on some skins the whole condition would be cutted. Isn't it possible to add a reference from the MP Languages to a skin file?

Would it be possible to make it an option, you can't join language codes together or with screen properities, well within the textbox for sure so would take 2 controls to display the indicator and the text.

Thanks

Mh would a .skinsettings.xml with some other skin specified settings helpful or is this the only thing you have problems with?

Is anyone else experiencing freezing when there are alot of feeds to be read in NEWS? I have 6 of them and when I want to change the channel it freezes for a few minutes after which it continues to run very, very slowly. This is even after MP has been running for some time, so feeds are updated.

I have similar problems with other plugins, randomly the dialog menu is lagging like hell, don't know why it happens.

Updating feeds should not make a big difference with the overall speed of MP, especially not with the beta. Also a lot of feeds should not make a big difference. I've added 8 feeds and i have no problem with the overall speed of MP, neither on my Dev PC nor on my HTPC.

A little explanation how InfoService works: InfoService will check every 60 seconds if there is something to do. This means it will check if the refresh interval of Feed and/or Twitter and/or Weather is timed out. This is no big calculation and of course no big performance consumer. If the refresh interval is timed out, InfoService will try to update the timed out service. After finished update, it begins again to listen if there is something to do.... The update process of the 1.32 version takes cpu time from MP. The newer beta uses his own CPU time.

Italian translation, please add to distribution.

P.S.> I noticed that some values are still hardcoded in English:

• Goto... / Feeds
• InfoService Feeds
• RSS has been updated on ...

Thanks for the language file Now 4 items are missing

    <String id="25">All feeds</String>
    <String id="26">A feed that combines all feed items</String>
    <String id="27">Goto website</String>
    <String id="28">Goto...</String>

Don't know how to translate "Feeds" in itialien but for german "Feeds" isn't translatable. If it is translatable i'll add them to the language file.
The "RSS has been updated on ..." comes from the skinner. InfoService do only supply the date/time.
