WorldWeather plugin v1.10.0 for MediaPortal 1.3.0 and higher (8 Viewers)

Dear kjegibbons,

@kjegibbons

... Is it possible to configure more than one weather feed? ...

Sure. Do you want to see different feeds or the merge into only one?

Cheers, Micropolis

I'm currently working on skin files for Avallonis and have configured a feed on the "condition" window......

and would like to have an astronomy feed on the "astronomy" window......

but, as yet, haven't figured out how to do this as there is only one entry in the config for a feed.

Regards.

I'm sure you had switched on the option "Calculate average" in the expert settings tab. In this case, the plugin shows 1 graph with the average value, if it's switched off you can see 2 independent graphs for minimum and maximum temperature.

You are right ... learning something new every day

But I still think there is something fuzzy about 2008.
I my previous attachment, MIN= -4 and MAX= 3. How can average be 6 ?

Below please find another attachment with MIN and MAX graphs (I unchecked "Calculate average" )
Again you will see that the graphs does not reflect the MIN= -4 and MAX= 3 for 2008.


Or have I completely misunderstood something here?

Regards

Dear helsten2,

Maybe this is a problem with the curve routine (in C# you must think in a array of points, which will be calculated and concatenated by internal .NET routines). Is it possible to reproduce this issue with another graph type (e.g. points or lines)? Point, Line, Bar and Peak chart types will be drawn in another way.

BINGO! The other chart types are OK.
Good catch!

I will use "Line" graph for now.

exactly 1 year before I started with the first realization steps of this plugin. Now, after approximately 15.000 lines of code later, a lot of cup of coffees, helpful and controverse discussions, many enhancement requests and support from different community members I'm happy to present you the final version of World Weather.

Congratulations, after spending the last few weeks doing some very basic minimal programming to try and improve mediaportal I can only imagine how much hard it must be to create and maintain a plugin like this. Well done, I appreciate your hard work and long hours put into this.

Hi Micropolis,
I wanna suggest a little improvement (if possible, of course); if I'm not mistaken, currently the property #WorldWeather.TodayWindDirectionImage points to the same type of wind direction images of #WorldWeather.ForecastHour<digit>7WindDirectionImage (east.png, north.png, south.png, west.png, southeast.png, southwest.png etc.) while the property #WorldWeather.TodayWindDirection have finest indications (NNW, ESE, SSE etc.); Would it be possible to change #WorldWeather.TodayWindDirectionImage to have the same results of #WorldWeather.TodayWindDirection? (of course the related images would be named as NNW.png, ESE.png, WNW.png, N.png, W.png, NW.png etc.)

As always many thanks for your effort on this wonderful plugin
Ciao
