weather: long time no response by MP (see no action for about 1 minute) (1 Viewer)

[infinite.loop]

if the website where you grab the data is slow, that doesnt matter

That is true but it doesn't explain the blank scren while loading (if the data is slow).

oh it does.

if MP starts to load the data befor the GUI is loaded, then you will see the blank background until the data has been fully loaded, then the GUI is build.

but thats only a theory which has to be tested.

----------------------------------------------
This part of the log. MP has just been started and the 'weather' is the first screen to be requested form home.

I timed the blank screen that was shown it was 16 seconds, the logs show a 16 second delay

2006-11-14 12:19:24.250000 [Info.][10]: MyWeather.SkipConnectionTest: False
2006-11-14 12:19:40.109375 [Info.][12]: MyWeather.SkipConnectionTest: False


I then re-enter the weather again and there is no delay

2006-11-14 12:20:23.125000 [Info.][10]: MyWeather.SkipConnectionTest: False
2006-11-14 12:20:23.328125 [Info.][12]: MyWeather.SkipConnectionTest: False


So what is causing this delay the first time weather is accessed !? and the GUI not being shown
