Hey Butcha,

Its not visible in confluence as i assume thats becuase con doenst show "busy" and if it doesnt retrieve any info i dont think it displays anything anyway..
However when i switch back to the latest svn version of cirrus it displays "busy" and the weather "^C" every time i return to home menu?

Everything is on the latest revisions and this is as clean an install as i can offer its got nothing (no media) in it yet

Anyone else got weather showing still?

pat,

I wonder if it's anything to do with this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?p=928765.

Hey fella,

Yea I know the Api changed but my issue is not that it's saying "busy" but that it's active at all

I want weather disabled as it seems to cause an huge amount of requests from my HTPC slowing it down until it stops.. As its Winter im
Retry sure I know the weather is gonna suck til July for 1 week then it'll suck again so I'm happy to have weather removed from my HTpc altogether.

Basically I want weather completely removed from my system as:

A: it's broken anyway
B: it causes me network slowdown
C: weather here is rain/snow/fog for the next 6 months
And D: I don't really need it

Currently it's still trying to send requests to retrieve weather info even though the Api changed and it's coming back with nothing I've no idea why xbmc never had an option to disable weather completely? It's so bizarre?

Spiff recently said that now is a good time the banish the weather to the add-ons section. Hopefully they do that quick or find another API.

Absolutely, I'm no coder, but I can't imagine that it's a huge undertaking to enable and on/off facility? I mean it's broken anyway so can't it just be commented out?

It's no big deal, I'm not gonna die... But it's massively frustrating watching network spike, my (underpowered) HTPC come to a crawl while it searches for weather we all know it can't return as the bloody Api was changed on October 23rd or something? I know it must be more complicated than commenting it out (or they'd have done it already) but as it's a feature that doesn't work, won't work again and is currently causing issues I'd say it'd be high on my list of things to get out of xbmc ASAP

I will say though that disabling auto update of my plugins seriously helped With my slowdown! I was experiencing serious issues and as I had a large amount of plugins, plus rss, plus weather all sending requests every time I went back to the home screen, my pc was dying for up to 7 minutes.. Now it's about 15 seconds But still ...

Created a trac ticket so will see what they do about it. Although they are at feature freeze this is a bug so i think it will be fixed somehow.

Fantastic,

Cheers for that Hopefully it'll be resolved soon, or at the very least at least they are awaire that it's causing issues.

That's much more productive route than my moaning about it in here

Butch,

This was posted by another user, in another thread, in response to a question I had with removing the weather.

Edit guisettings.xml to show:

Code:

<weather>
        <areacode1></areacode1>
        <areacode2></areacode2>
        <areacode3></areacode3>
        <currentlocation></currentlocation>
        <script></script>
        <scriptsettings></scriptsettings>
    </weather>

Is this relevant for cirrus ex or is this for the default skin only. I'm not at my pc at the moment so can't check.

Hopefully it could help remove it for the time being coz it's doing my head in

Yo pat, yes to set no location. Try it out. I'll take a look this evening.

@butchbay : any plans on implementing 'currently watched' menu to Cirrus Extended? There are already being developed in for other skins although not released yet. There's already working script I think on http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=113702

Which .xml contains the contents for context menus? I've looked in DialogContextMenu.xml and that doesn't seem to contain the contents of the list. Specifically, I am looking to alter the order of the context menu when initiated from now playing (MyVideoPlaylist.xml).

I think it's generated dynamically by XBMC itself, the skin file just provides the formatting for the list.

Absolutely correct!

[RockDawg]

So I assume that there's no way to change the order of the list then, right?
