Filo, have you entered your preferred names for the images in the second column of the config and the URLs in the third column?

Should look like this:

Yes, it looks exactly like in the image.

Hi all,
I hope this was not explained before; was searching but found not a solution:

Since 0.5.0 I do not get anything in hourly and graphical forecast; I tried with my normal skin (frames) and I tried with default wide also. Same result: Both pages are empty. The longitude/latitude should be ok, as I do get the right sunrise/sunset times. Any ideas?

Also, since 0.5.0 the automatic update of images seems to be not working any more. Any ideas about that?

Another (small) problem: From time to time I do not see the satellite image; if this appears, I find an entry in the error.log "TextureManager: exception loading texture c:\temp\WorldWeather_satellite_a3e9b34e-0ad7-4113-a30e-12573b64d8fd.gif - Allgemeiner Fehler in GDI+."
The picture does exist and is loadable with the Browser.

Thanks
Alfred

You have to set the line ProviderHourCondition
from the mediaportal.xml to

<entry name="ProviderHourCondition">0</entry>

Hi fishy, and thanks for the fast answer. And: It works!
Fine for me, but is there a no way to do it with the plugin-configuration, or am I just too blind to find it?

[fischy667]

No, you are not blind. There is no such option in the configuration. I believe this is a relic from 0.5.0 nightly blinds.

Hi Alfred, fischy667,
you can use the expert settings inside the configuration dialog to reset your GUI configuration.
Select WorldWeather in the configuration dialog, and hold down the Shift key when clicking "Config". Select the tab "Expert settings" and press the appropriate button.
This functionality exists since latest release candidate, but isn't documented.

Cheers, Micropolis

Micropolis,

OK. First Off - PRAISES for the 0.5.0 version. Many nice changes....and HEY - GUESS WHAT!?! My Sunrise and Sunset times are working now. All I did was copy over the files that were in the 0.5.0 package to the folders already on my machine and started up my MP software and went to the WorldWeather Plug-in and it was working fine. I need to figure out what some of the other screens are and how to make them customized for my area - but all in all I am happy.

Is there someplace that you can recommend to get images which are standardized and similar for use in the other screens (WIND, RAIN, UV INDEX, etc)? Also for use on the ASTRONOMY screens (star maps - that are common to my area)?

Thank You for such a great application.

Great and thanks, after the reset even my second problem (no more automatic updates) from my post 1013 disappeared. Time will show if even the 3rd one (which is not really a problem, just a little "inconvenience") is solved with that ...
Cheers
Alfred

Update: The "inconvenience" (sometimes no satellite image, "Allgemeiner Fehler in GDI+", post 1013) is still there.

Hi Catavolt,

I have exactly the same problem as Filo with PureVision HD.
When I use the Default skin all weather-images are visible.
When I change back to PureVision HD none of the weather images is displayed.

Kind regards
