Hello Holzi,

And there starts the problem for rain.

There is no problem. Take a look into the original mapping file WorldWeatherIconMapping.xml, for day you see <entry name="rain">10</entry> and for night <entry name="rain">45</entry> (see last nightly build).
If you change entries in your mapping file, you must also adapt your backdrop directory structure.

So the <unique> number is the same for backdrop and condition icon?

Correct.


@All:

There was a logical and programmatical error in my latest build, I have attached a manual build to the first post. #WorldWeather.LocationFeed is now #WorldWeather.Feed, #WorldWeather.TodayRandomNumber (values between 0-4) is a temporariliy toy for Holzi.


Cheers, Micropolis

Thank you for making this happen! =)
Too bad I can't test it until next week.. nobody else is interested in this?! You can have more backdrops for one weather condition.. =)

Hello!
I got a question/suggestion.. would it be possible to show "random" backdrops for specific weather conditions?

For example.. lets say weather condition is Rain which indicates backdrop 6.png. Now I want to make a weather folder named 6 with five weather images which show rain in there. If the condition is Rain I want to randomly show one of these five images.
For now all is static right?
Thanks!

Awesome idea and the pictures you have attached , sensational.

And thanks Micropolis that support this idea. My Christmas is saved, because I have something to do. (The presents were ) .

Nice Christmas and a happy new year.

From what I understand you could already do multiple fanart for a specific weather condition. Instead of using a single image control use a MultiImage control and point the imagepath to the weather condition directory.

Could you make a quick example for that? Never heard that this works before..
Thanks!

<control>
      <type>multiimage</type>
      <id>1</id>
      <posX>0</posX>
      <posY>0</posY>
      <width>1280</width>
      <height>720</height>
      <imagepath>linkedweather\#WorldWeather.TodayIconNumber</imagepath>
      <timeperimage>10000</timeperimage>
      <fadetime>2000</fadetime>
      <loop>yes</loop>
      <randomize>yes</randomize>
</control>

So with this example you can have multiple backgrounds for the same weather condition.

To setup this you will obviously need to create a linkedweather folder in the skins Media\Animations folder e.g.

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\StreamedMP\Media\Animations\linkedweather\

And then create a sub-directory for each weather condition e.g.

C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\StreamedMP\Media\Animations\linkedweather\0\
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\StreamedMP\Media\Animations\linkedweather\1\
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\StreamedMP\Media\Animations\linkedweather\2\
...
C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\StreamedMP\Media\Animations\linkedweather\47\

You can then copy the images you think best fit each weather condition into each folder. When you enter WorldWeather it will fade nicely between each background image.

Simple! No plugin changes required.
