one of my providers suddenly lost the current degrees, current icon, 36hour forecasts and link to video forecasts(meteotv.bg)

xbmc.log
Send by XBMC Log Analyser


Rest of the data is fetched as expected.

I'm using 3.0.1 old-pre-eden, tried deleting it then deleting addon settings, nothing changed. Other two providers are OK.

I don't see any weather plus log in your log, but I assume that you might have problem with Weather.com. If you do, that's an issue of weather alert which is going to be fixed in the next update.

sorry about that - I was using a beta tool for analyzing and submitting logs which was too beta I guess..

It's due to severe weather column in 36hours forecast of Weather.com.
I'll trying to fix it until next update.

EDIT : Fixed. Will be included in the next update.

meaning I should expect severe weather in the next 36 hours? thanks for the heads-up Smile

Edit: currently it's OK - guess the alert is off Smile

hello, i was wondering if it was possible so that this addon would update the weather forecast at start up, so that the conditional weather backgrounds in the skin I'm using will work, without first having to open the weather plugin.

nope, that's not something the addon can do.
it has to be taken care of by the skin.

if the skin uses any of the $INFO[Weather.*] infolabels on the homescreen,
it will trigger xbmc to run the addon.

otherwise, weather info won't be fetched until you enter the weather screen.

I've been working along side simplechords on the same issue and found a resolution. We both run Neon on Dharma and the existing code for updating the weather in Startup.xml was not updating the weather through the label $INFO[Window(Weather).Property(Current.Condition)]. However, looking through old posts IRT weather not updating, I changed the label to $INFO[Weather.Conditions] and it works perfectly in Dharma.

What confuses me is that on the wiki for Weather Plus, it mentions that Weather.Conditions is no longer available. Is the Weather.Conditions property not going to be available going forward into Eden?

I have been a fan of the Weather Plus addon since Darma. I have just upgraded to Eden Pre Beta and installed the new Weather Plus. I see that the skin/page format has changed. My wife really like the "All on one page" format as it was in Darma. Is there a way to get that format back?

She doesn't like changing items to view by the "slide out" controls.

It's a change of Confluence, not of Weather Plus. If anybody needs, I can make a mod for Eden's Confluence after stable Eden is officially released.

Weather.Conditions is accessible only by built-in weather of Dharma, so it's useless since the built-in one doesn't work anymore. But as you did, I think that property could trigger xbmc to run weather addon.
