Is it possible to use the full version of World Weather ?? If I use the lite version Day/Date/Temp under clock is displayed correctly, However WW full version overlays something over the data turning it all to garbage.

Hi,
I'm using WW full version and have no problems. But I am still on MP 1.3RC...
When you say "under clock" do you mean weather infos in the right top or only on my weather overlay. Infos under the clock are not part of my mod and come from somewhere else. They are defined in common.time.xml
Maybe you can post a screenshot of the problem?

Cheers

Hi Zoidberg77,

A mistake my end I'm afraid, A few days ago I tried out one of the other Titan mods and forgot to replace the original common.time.xml, Thanks for the heads up on that file I realised my error as soon as I saw it mentioned in your post. While we are on the subject of weather how difficult would it be to add backdrops to match the current conditions (as in streamedmp) I think one of the other Titan mods are already using this.

Thanks again......

Hi,
was easier than I expected

1. Extract the "weather_BG" folder from here to the media folder (e.g. "C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\Titan\Themes\backdropped\Media\weather_BG")
2. in BasicHome.CONFIG.xml set as background

   <define>#LABEL6.background:weather_BG\#WorldWeather.ForecastDay0IconNumber.jpg</define>

Works great, Subjective I know but For me this is the perfect layout to control MP.
1.3.0 is rock solid and combined with this mod means my work on MP1 is finished (hopefully)

Many thanks.....

Zoidberg77, I've been using the weather backdrops for a few days now and noticed that they are not in sync with the conditions on the current weather tile (1st), At the moment Titan is 'Light rain' but showing background 30 which is 'Partly cloudy', If I use Default wide skin conditions are stated as 'Partly cloudy' with the correct background 30. So it seems in your mod the correct backgrounds are being shown but the first tile is wrong or not being updated, Do you have any ideas as to what is causing this.....Thanks.

...they are not in sync with the conditions on the current weather tile (1st)

Yes, you're right. That happens when you copy/paste and don't test thoroughly
The correct background variable in BasicHome.CONFIG.xml is:

<define>#LABEL6.background:weather_BG\#WorldWeather.ForecastDay0IconNumber.jpg</define>

There is a difference between weather today and forecast for today. My weather overlay shows the forecast and so does the background now.

Made the changes and it looks in sync now, Thanks...

Update 2.7:

• Added: Overlay for MyVideos (equal to Moving Pictures Overlay)
• Changed: Same FanArt can now be used for multiple labels
• Fixed: Visibility condition of "upcoming records" label
• Fixed: Visibility condition of "active recordings" label

Please note: this update required a change in BasicHome.CONFIG.xml. But only FanArt background section is affected. You can use your old (backuped) config except for the FanArt background section.

This version works with the new MP 1.4 PreRelease. To my surprise there was some (undocumented?) change of MyVideo latest media (the variable is now #myvideos.latest1.thumb instead of #latestMediaHandler.myvideo.latest1.thumb). I haven't tested if this will work for MP 1.3 as I already updated all my systems...

Cheers

edit: found another minor wrong visibility condition: re-uploaded V2.7

So this version works also for the 1.4.0 FINAL release of MP?

It does if you edit the "theme.xml" to have the correct version number.
