I don't even know what links I could use for UK images so I basically just don't use a lot of the functionality of WorldWeather, which is a shame as when I tested with the German links it looks very nice.
WorldWeather plugin v1.10.0 for MediaPortal 1.3.0 and higher (2 Viewers)

Hello doveman, RicoHTPC, Holzi,
@doveman:
I can't reproduce it, for me all is working fine.
@RicoHTPC:
I really don't know your expectation, but the simplest way is to use the attached example file. Download this file, copy it to your MediaPortal configuration directory (for Windows 7 it is c:\programdata\team mediaportal\mediaportal) and select the predefined images/slideshow definitions inside the WorldWeather configuration.
@Holzi,
Sure, that's (one of) the idea behind the new slideshow functionality.
Cheers, Micropolis

Thanks. I guess you meant to say c:\programdata\team mediaportal\mediaportal as that would be the more usual place and it seems to work there and not in c:\programdata\team mediaportal.
There doesn't seem to be any UK-centric links in it anyway, mostly Germany, Italy and US from what I can tell

Alex, you´ve done it again What an enhancement Really GREAT work
Just trying the slideshow with ZDF rain radar and that works like a charm (just copied your example)

Here the same. When the HTCP comes from standby, there is no connection to the internet for WorldWeather (Google). Immediately after waking up I getting the popups. If I change the town in the plugin all is working fine (for all towns). If I don't go to the plugin the popup comes again and again.

Hi Micropolis,
thanks for the version and the nice realization of our (my) requests; slideshows are (nearly) perfect!
Nearly: I think this is a problem of my slow internet connection. If I use your example for ZDF sat (<rangenumber:10,48>), I get several error messages "could not load images.., and I really do not get the images (i.e. the slideshow).
If I change it to for example <rangenumber:30,48>, I get the slideshow (very nice ).
I tried to change the "Timeout" in Expert settings, but this seems not to change anything. Is it possible that the timeout settings do not work?
Just a little hint for your explanations:
BTW: I do have the same effect as Lehmden (delay of about 2 minutes on "Lade Anzeigeplugins" with WorldWeather enabled), just to let you know, I do not care too much about it.
Thanks again! Excellent work!
Alfred

The link is wrong (leads to Rain radar).

Hi Micropolis,
First thanks for the magnificent world weather. May I suggest a feature? Currently setting up ww is quite difficult. You need to know different identifiers for your city, long & lat. and more details. Maybe you could use the net to lookup country/city combinations and gather the informarmation the plugins need? Also testing in the plugin config would ease this procedure.
Since you already provide a list of sample image sources, why not go further and make the country (region) specific and autofill them?
I think your plugin is great, but I think it is time more people can start using it without the complicated setup (pains ;-)

Another idea for the slideshows:
Right now the delay between each image is the same for each image. How about adding this to the range placeholder as an additional parameter? This way we could show the sattelite animation as 1-2 sec. per image and the zdf today, night tomorrow could be slowed down to 15 seconds.
