I think there's something going wrong with parsing the windspeed from yahoo weather. For Nuenen, NL it says 805 km/h, but I don't see any trees/cars flying around.
btw, on the website itself it's presented as 8.05 km/h
Edit: same for visibility.
I do have english culture settings (, for thousand sep . for decimal sep) but I'm living in the netherlands

Hi doskabouter,

... I think there's something going wrong with parsing the windspeed from yahoo weather. For Nuenen, NL it says 805 km/h, but I don't see any trees/cars flying around...

there is a good and a bad news. The good news, I am happy that you have suffered no injuries there. The bad news: I can't reproduce this issue. If you (or other users) can reproduce the parsing problem, please open the troubleshooting URL from Yahoo (see manual) including your specific location code in a web browser and post the XML-structure here.

Thanks, Micropolis

Here it is.

Hi doskabouter,

Here it is.

this doesn't help me currently. I need the XML-structure, if you see the parsing problem again.
If you take a look to the bold digits, all seems to be normal.

<yweather:wind chill="64" direction="170" speed="7" />
< yweather:atmosphere humidity="77" visibility="6.21" pressure="29.85" rising="0" />

Does the troubleshooting URL looks like this http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?&p=NLXX0007&u=c ? Do you see other values inside WorldWeather?

Cheers, Micropolis

 

[doskabouter]

Indeed it does. About the troubleshooting URL, how do I get that? The only urls mentioned were the ...rss&p= and ...rss&w=.
Would be nice if it were somewhere in the logfiles.

Just copied the whole worldweather.xml and the worldweather sectionof mediaportal.xml to my dev machine, made sure it ran the same version of mp/worldweather but there it's not reproducable
Only visible difference (at first glance) with my htpc is rounding. htpc says 805 km/h and devpc says 8km/h
That ofcourse with . and , issues.
Ok, got a moment of full control of the htpc
The regional settings on the htpc are dutch (, for decimal and . for thousand) and here is the html-request and response (header and body)

[FillR]

Hi,

Slight update for french translation (items 72 & 73)

 

[Marduk65]

Hi Micropolis,
here are updated Italian translation file.

Is there any way to have more readable characters in History charts? (see attached screenshot, font size is too much small; N.B.: same probelm also in skin Defaultwide with xml's of WW original zip package)

Thanks
Ciao

 

[Micropolis]

Hi Marduk65,

... Is there any way to have more readable characters in History charts?

The character size for chart letters depends on 2 parameters: your system font and size and screen dimensions. At the first post you can find release candidate 3, which restrict the maximum chart bitmap size to 800x600 px.
Please adjust your skin files, test this version and give feedback. Thank you.

EDIT: sorry, made a small mistake (my new Visual Studio 2012 installation isn't properly configured yet), I'd reupload a new version again.

Cheers, Micropolis

Hi Micropolis,
First of all, thank you for a great plugin !

I was just doing some minor skin adjustments - basically adding the #WorldWeather.ForecastHourTemperatureChart to the graphic view.

I was looking at the chart an noticed that the temperature value 5 was repeated - see attached screenshot.

I am at RC1 so if this has been fixed, please ignore my comment.

Thank you in advance
