Weather error (1 Viewer)

[hallohome]

Since yesterday there was a Bug in the weather.com API but it gut correctet

https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/general-support-51/error-weather-67438/index2.html#post483178

But now I have still in basichome on the right top no symbols, only #condition #temp. Is there still something to do for me to get this to work again ??

you should check the plugin's page, the images are handled differently... copy the new ones and then replace the image codes into the weather skin files

i'm experiencing the same thing, but I'm not understanding what you're implying on how to fix it?

 

[sergiocos]

my weather files is now so much different than the original ones, so I didn't want to mislead you, but basicly you should edit the common.basichome.weather.xml or in some scenarios basichome.weather.xml and look for the code of the day X image (you can see an example below) Now the texture codes must be the new ones, as you can read in the Items section of the plugin. You can see mine edited to work with the latest version of MPInfo Service.

But I'm using ONLY the 5-days forecast (and not the small forecast for TODAY) I can't tell you if replacing these codes is enough to get the weather fully functional (the fact is, you should do more replacing than these ones, but you get the point how it works, I hope)

I see you're not StreamedMP so your XML structure is very different... I can't find what you are implying.

 

[sergiocos]

StreamedMP here too, with the Aeon mod... please send me a PM with all the XML that contains the word "weather" in their name... or better, an archive with your xml (containing the word weather in the names) + Basichome.xml.

I have the same issue. I don't know jack about XML, so it would be nice if someone could create a fix that just works.

 

[sergiocos]

ok, let's assume you all use the weather skin files found here in the first post. You will found your version of files inside the StreamedMP folder. This is the files that counts:

Open any .xml with Notepad to edit.
In the basichome.weather.xml you have to edit the new paths for the images to load. You will fin them looking for <texture>#. Now in the old InfoService plugin, the today weather is showed by this code
<texture>#todaysmallweatherimg</texture>
but in the new MPInfoService, the same image must be
<texture>#infoservice.weather.today.img.small.fullpath</texture> (Todays weather condition image fullpath in the size 64x64)

You should looking for <texture># in every weekday to fix the images paths. The next example is for the picture of day 2.
Old basichome.weather.xml (wich worked with previous versions of the plugin) looks like this:

Replace the highlited code with the one found here (there are pretty self explanatory). So the image will be shown by the NEW code:

Do this for every day (1 to 5) and watch the images re-appearing (change the code for every component you need, might be necessary more than looking for the "texture" code),
see what doesn't work in your MediaPortal, look in your *xml for the old code, check the new one, replace... or wait for a fix, I know i couldn't. Cheers!

PS: SteamedMP Aeon mod is using basichome.weather.xml to show the weather data but other skins might use different name for this one. (X-Factor is using an xml called common.basichome.weather.xml). That's all I can do to help guys. Remember to backup your skin files, and edit the *weather*.xml you need.

Ugh...I never liked the look of the huge weather tab. Is there any way to have it look nearly the same way the old one looks?

 

[hallohome]

I dont get it ?? I have MP 1.0.2.0 with StreamedMP and I dont have a "common.basichome.weather.xml" or "basichome.weather.xml" I only have a myweather.xml in the /skin/StreamedMP folder. I only changed the "WindowPlugins.dll" now weather works again but not on basichome why is there a need to change a path, I never changed the location of the images.
So for me 2 Days ago everything was fine
- basichome and weather worked
- yesterday weather.com changed the api no basichome and no weather
- I changed the "WindowPlugins.dll" weather is now working again but not on Basichome
have I missed something here I hope someone can help me
