Re: AW: WorldWeather plugin v0.2.5 for MediaPortal v1.2.0 or higher

Hi.
Normally there are 3 xml skin files for Worldweather: WorldWeather.xml, WorldWeatherGeoClock.xml and WorldWeatherImage.xml. Additional there can be some xml to put weather info on home screen. This depends on the skin you use. So if you don't have those files you probably missing something.

I am using StreamedMP.

    Re: WorldWeather plugin v0.2.5 for MediaPortal v1.2.0 or higher

    I have found some problems:
    :sorry::oops:

    1. moon phase: As you see in the attached picture the moon phase is given as "abnehmender Halbmond" (last quarter) but we have "Zunehmender Dreiviertelmond" (waxing gibbous) in German also know as "Zweites Viertel". See here: moonphase Rostock. And because "moon phase" is not in the language file, I chanced it manually.

    2. forecast of Day 4: Picture says rain, but the text is Nebel (fog). I looked into the API the fog is the correct weather condition.

    3. In the official StreamedMP skin for WorldWeather the line
    <visible>string.equals(#WorldWeather.Action,Condition)</visible>
    is used. That line don't work for me. I had to chance it to
    <visible>string.equals(#WorldWeather.View,Condition)</visible>
    .

    4. For the label humidity the number "406" from Mediaportal is used. But In German the label is "Feuchtigkeit:" with a colon. So in German it is the only label with it, and this looks terrible. So I chanced the label to "741". But for other languages this label sucks even more e.g. English: "View: Humidity".
    So there are two possibilities. A complete new language files for this plug-in or an update for consistency of all Mediaportal languages.

    Where can i find the links for the images like sattelite from zdf.de like the screenshoot ?

    The best link for me is this:

    0,6008,193,00.gif

    This link is not directly visible from the site. I discovered this by varying randomly the last number in the url.

    You can put another number instead of "193" and discover other interesting gif.

    Thanks a lot for your good image.
    You have the other image to share with us for italy? like wind,temperature,uv etc..
    You can share eventually the translation xml for italy?

    :D:D:D:D

    There is already the yrWeather plugin ;)

    I know... but that plugin got support for only one place.
    So and since the World Weather has a plan to implement Yhaoo Weather... then it maybe want to consider adding one of the most used weather service in the northern Europe to?!?

    Its would be great if in the manual you'd tell us where we find "City Codes" as all i get from google is Post codes and in Australia that VERY different. What ever happened to simplicity, I don't have the time to spend 2-3 days just to setup the media centre software nor do i have the smarts to deal with it.
