[QUOTE="rsbrux, post: 820309, member: 49539"] [b]Re: WorldWeather plugin v0.2.5 for MediaPortal v1.2.0 or higher[/b] Hi Micropolis, Thanks for this great contribution! In 2.9RC under DefaultWide, I still see some minor problems with positioning of content on the screen (e.g. Google logo so high it is obscured by page title), of which you are doubtless already aware. There are also a few things that I miss: 1. The number of locations supported. I travel a lot and was using up to 16 locations in the old plugin. I can do with less, but 5 seems very little to me, and I don't really understand why there should be a fixed limit at all. 2. The ability to easily change the order of locations. Obviously, this becomes more important with increasing number of locations. As an alternative, you might want to sort them automatically by city name. This is what I used to do manually for the old plugin. 3. The old plugin used to show the additional images one per screen. Aside from the fact that they don't appear positioned correctly for me in DefaultWide, the ones I like seem too small to be intelligible in the "tiled" view, even on my relatively large (46") screen. For my taste it would be ideal to just put each image on its own page, in the same size and position that you have done for the GeoClock and Starry Skies images. My favorite additional images come from a website in Switzerland which features excellent hour-by-hour predictions. [URL="http://meteo.search.ch/images/chart/4000.png?show=time,temp,rain&lang=en"]Here [/URL]is an example, for Basel. The URL can be built very easily from the Swiss postal code: [U]http://meteo.search.ch/images/chart/<PLZ>.png?show=time,temp,rain&lang=en[/U] where <PLZ> is the 4 digit Swiss postal code (Postleitzahl). That said, your new plug-in is a remarkable achievement: delivering more functionality than the old one in record time! Many thanks, and keep up the good work! [/QUOTE]
