[QUOTE="SilentException, post: 472363, member: 83924"] hi edsche! i'm linking the new features and appreciate all the hard work you're putting to make this plugin even better! :) [*] #infoservice.feed.itemimg filled with default image if no feed item image is found don't really like this change.. the way i see it, default image should only be filled in the listcontrol.. there are few reasons, first is obviously small default image so when you stretch it it's no good.. also, version prior to 0.85 allowed us (or just me) to overlap the feed image with feed item image so when feed item has no image, feed image would be shown.. now it's not possible anymore.. * today after wake up, i had "Downloading feeds and images".. it could be because of there was no internet connection available instantly or something else, i don't really know.. i propose to you if there is no internet connection or feed update fails you revert back to old properties and wait for next update.. or pool the updates every minute until connection is available.. * check out the rss news plugin included with mp: [url]https://mediaportal.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mediaportal/trunk/mediaportal/WindowPlugins/GUIRSSFeed/GUIRSSFeed.cs[/url].. it has ability to show the text in feed link when you select the feed item.. it's not the best solution but it does show you more data.. * check rssticker source.. [url]https://mp-plugins.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/mp-plugins/trunk/plugins/MP-RSSTicker/MP-RSSTicker/RSSTickerPlugin.cs[/url] and the way the weather is handled.. as you're using the same weather source, i propose that you use the weather location from the mediaportal.xml.. check and change (if needed) that location on every update also.. that way if you change the location in the weather plugin, infoservice plugin reflects those changes on next update.. * in plugin initialization (start of mp), initialize ALL properties you use to " ", just one space.. that way ugly strings #xxx won't be shown before the plugin updates the weather and feeds.. * i think all of your weather data (in my case, temperatures, images and day condition) is off by one day (day names are ok): check included images * finally, i included a new set of icons with bigger default feed images :) hope you'll like them [/QUOTE]
