mixed up... mixed up... i'd say different :-)
at least different, to what you expect (or were used to) it to be.


we don't have access to yesterdays (or the day before) weather data, so i can't provide them.
instead, you'll get the forecast for the next weekend.

weather.wunderground-0.1.9.zip

fixed:
- json error when no image files are found
- 36 hour heading and temp (again, i hope for real this time)
- better detection of systems that use AM/PM time format
- provide windspeeds in beaufort for systems that use it (greek users only afaik)

You are right about the weekend day labels. My bad. I remember now that weather+ was showing blank the past day's on current weekend.

There still some other typo problems when changing international settings but i will stop now to bothering you more with this .

Thanks

Cheers

oh, no please don't... if there's any issues,
no matter how small, i'd like to know about it.

and thx for all the testing & reporting you've done so far :-)

In the 10 Day, Weekend, and Hourly screens, wind speed is reported in mp/h; in the 36 Hour screen, however, wind speed is reported in km/h.
This is probably a localisation issue?

that's for a location in england i guess?

wunderground provides the 36 hour forecast in either '°C & km/h' or '°F & mph' format.
this works for everyone, except for the brits, who insist on using '°C & mph' ;-)

i'll try if i can use some trickery in the script to handle the conversion for UK based locations.

It is in UK, yes. The localisation works OK with the 10 day, weekend and hourly screens, just not on the 36 hour screen.

In that case here some screens of what i think there are errors. I marked with red circle what i think is wrong.

These are with International Settings set to "Greek" :




This is with International Settings set to "English (US)" :

@nessus:

the first two screenshots:
- as far as i understand, (you obviously would know better than me),
windspeeds in greece are reported in beaufort. so please let me know why you think Bft is incorrect.

- 'Variable' is indeed not translated. we can blame wunderground for not localizing this string.
we can blame xbmc as well, as it also tries to localize strings on the weather screen.
problem is, we still have the weather.com strings in our language files and they used 'VAR'.
other then that, if you switch to a greek location (i've tested with Athens), wunderground does provide proper localized strings

- AM/PM, that's indeed the script's fault. i could try to fix that.
how should greek time be displayed? as '6:20πμ / 9:13μμ' or just '6:20 / 9:13' ?


last two screenshots:
wundergound doesn't provide the individual 36hour.header and 36hour.temp values.
i have to extract them from the forecast text:



so far, i can't think of any other way to do this, so it's the best i can do for now.

Ronie... indeed wind speeds in Greece are reported in Beaufort ("Μποφόρ" in Greek). I've marked "Variable", "Beaufort", "Bft" just for localizing reasons. If that is not script depended never mind then. IMO "Beaufort" metric is not needed if is not localized/translated. Reading a sentence of 5-6 words in two languages is not easy looking.

The Greek time is displayed like you say : 6:20πμ / 9:13μμ but also a 24h look (6:20 / 21:13) it will be fine and more universal in all languages.

I had no idea that you take the values for 36hour.header and 36hour.temp from there. In that case is ok.
