StreamedMP 1.0 Release Candidate Testing (2 Viewers)

[trevor]

Infoserice can provide all the required data, you have also found an omission as we should have made sure that std home supports infoservice. I have not tested this but you should be able to disable infoservice and install MP RSS Ticker and it should work.

I will fix this before the 1.0 release of the skin and make the std home screen use the data from infoservice.

I removed info service and took MP RSS from last StreamedMP install. All works but no weather overlay on standard home

Ok, it was a guess - will have a look and see it I can post a fix here as well as update the main trunk.

EDIT: I was wrong, teach me to check first, MyHome has been modified to use InfoService - guess we need to supply the choice of what is displayed on the std home screen as part of the install.

For the moment here is a version of myHome without RSS

This is someone elses screenshot, but isn't MIN -> MAX temp more natural than MAX -> MIN temp, i reckon they should switch sides.

Weather is pretty much always denoted as Max/Min temp.

ok fair enough, if that's the convection maybe its because im from NZ and we are at the bottom of the world so everything is upside down =)

I also wondered about layout, there is quite a proximity to the weather boxes and the top right hand corner mini weather icon

Either - the mini weather icon should dissapear when weather is highlighted and the main weather boxes are visible

(OR) an alternative layout like below

actually this would be how I would have it looking
remove the mini overlay
have todays weather centered

I upgraded to latest RC (954) and all problems reported in RC(835) solved but I am still missing some of animated weather icons such as FOG,SNOW/RAIN ( if there are others I don't know them because weather in Switzerland just cold and fogy those days )

Hi,

I have just updated the weathericon pack and my quick tests here show that it works. you can find the new archive here

http://streamedmp.googlecode.com/files/StreamedMP-RCTest-WeatherIcons.954.zip

If you can delete the old 128x128 directory and replace with what is in this archive and clear the cache. Please be aware that not all weather conditions are animated so you will see static images for some conditions.

Please let me know if this now works for you.

Looking at it, I agree with that. That way the most important weather tab is seperated from the rest.
And I also prefer MIN -> MAX... is it the other way around in the US or something?

Changes afoot....remove summary and change to this layout and if feeling really keen will add an option to the editor to swap min/max
