Jup, works nice.

Hmmm... I'm picking that this may be a skin issue, but I'm getting the moonphase as my forcast for Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Anybody else having this issue with the latest build 0.4.7 and Mustayaluca skin? This is also since I changed to us the WWO API.

Would post a pic but not sure of the best way to do this!

Just take a screenshot from inside MP (you could press F11) and upload it here on the forum like I did one post above yours. =)

No, didn´t update nothing for Avalon, just use the DefaultWide xmls as template - that should do

Hello!
I tried to skin some new features and used your DefaultWide xmls but the condition icons get kinda distorted. (see Screenshot)
Is this because of the font? (which don't exist in StreamedMP)
Thanks!

Well, there is a "bug" in the skin engine so grouped items are displayed slightly dimmed.
To override this, add this in your references.xml:

<control>
    <description>default group</description>
    <type>group</type>
    <id>0</id>
    <dimColor>ffffffff</dimColor>
  </control>

You can ofc add the dimColor tag into every group in the respective xml - but in references.xml it´s much easier and faster

Thanks for your fast answer!
If you add these lines into references.xml won't it bring up negatives things in other grouped items?

Dear community,

@fischy667:

... It is strange that now in City code is no GMXX-Number. There is standing "SEEBAD AHLBECK" and not in "Description". So it possible to use this profile for WWO and Google. but not for yahoo, because yahoo needs the GMXX-number...

The manual said "The wizard asks for required parameters in the following order: City name, City code, Time zone, Metric.". So, please follow this steps and you don't have the described problem. I have tried to add specific headers for the appropriate keyboard, but the MediaPortal API doesn't support this actually.

@blair_haynes:

... I wonder if the weather provider could be tied to each profile, rather than a global setting??? ...

It is possible the fulfill your request, but it costs deep changes for the plugin architecture. I won't do this for the upcoming version, if there is enough time, I can support this in a future version.

... I'm picking that this may be a skin issue, but I'm getting the moonphase as my forcast for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

This cannot be possible due to the plugin media handling routines, I had check this some minutes before. So in this case, I expect a skin issue or overwritten images in the original weather folder and/or weather icon collection folder.

Cheers, Micropolis

Hi WorldWeather enthusiasts,
here are the overworked xmls for the PureVisionHD and LCARS skins.
Now all available infos are shown, whereby infos not available from a weather provider are automatically hidden (including separator lines).
Have a look on the attached screenshots showing the infos from different weather providers (the bottom line shows which forecast is from which provider).



EDIT: Attached xmls for DefaultWide as well with nice separator lines in normal, hour and graphic view, too. Enjoy

 

[Holzi]

No.

Thanks!
I tried to skin the hour view but this really takes ages.. also trying to get 24 hours forecast.

My trys until now:


For some reason I can not get the hour provider image to show up on hour view nor graphic view.. any examples?

My code is:

    <control>
      <description>Provider Info</description>
      <type>label</type>
      <id>0</id>
      <posX>900</posX>
      <posY>15</posY>
      <label>Hourly weather data provided by:</label>
<shadowAngle>45</shadowAngle>
                        <shadowDistance>1</shadowDistance>
                        <shadowColor>FF000000</shadowColor>
      <font>mediastream9c</font>
      <textcolor>White</textcolor>
<visible>string.equals(#WorldWeather.View,Condition)+string.equals(#WorldWeather.ConditionView,Hour)+string.equals(#WorldWeather.ConditionView,Graphic)</visible>
      <animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
      <animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowClose</animation>
    </control>
    <control>
      <description>TWC Logo</description>
      <type>image</type>
      <id>101</id>
      <posX>1750</posX>
      <posY>17</posY>
      <width>150</width>
      <keepaspectratio>no</keepaspectratio>
      <texture>#WorldWeather.HourForecastProviderImage</texture>
<visible>string.equals(#WorldWeather.View,Condition)+string.equals(#WorldWeather.ConditionView,Hour)+string.equals(#WorldWeather.ConditionView,Graphic)</visible>
      <animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowOpen</animation>
      <animation effect="fade" time="250">WindowClose</animation>
    </control>
