[ATV2] No weather icons / How to reassign remote key
#1
Even on a clean install of Dharma on my Apple TV 2 with 4.2.1 firmware and also on any skin I try.

Currently, I'm using the Rapier skin but just as with Confluence, the weather works but I just dont see the rain/clouds/sunshine/etc icons.

How can I fix this?



Also, on a side note, using my Apple TV 2 remote, while playing a movie I noticed that I can fast forward by 30 seconds if i keep clicking the right arrow.
How can I make this so that if I press the UP arrow, it skips by say 2 minutes? At the moment, the up arrow doesn't do anything.

This is the keymap I now use, though I changed it a wee bit to suit:

Also, if you go to the following link, you can see a list of all the commands you can map..Go crazy!

I had the same issue with my ATV2. Here is the solution

I copied the 2 folders 128x128 and 64x64 from a working PC setup to my ATV2 and now i have the weather icons Wink

From Win7 PC -> C:\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\cache\weather
To ATV2 -> /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/temp/weather

Thanks for the great suggestions, guys!

I'll try it out later on tonight and report back.

Both suggestions worked wonders!

donut, I was unable to find your .xml file but using the second link you provided, I was able to edit my own .xml to my liking.

The one thing I did notice however is that if I fast forward (BigStepForward-10% of the movie) too quickly, the movie will restart.

Is this behavior normal? In order for my to fast foward, I need to press up (my assigned key for bigstepforward), pause, then up again, and so forth.

The weather.zip file is actually located in /Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/media/weather.zip after a standard install of XBMC on the ATV2.

Not sure why XBMC isn't using it by default though.

Perhaps I'll mess with permissions and some other things when I get home and see what's causing the problem. Might just need a small change in the build routine?

*EDIT*

I may have actually put the file there myself. I'll have to check when I'm back home.

You can just install this weather.zip to /Applications/XBMC.frappliance/XBMCData/XBMCHome/media/weather.zip or try here /private/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/XBMC/media/ (should prevent loss of weather icons on XBMC upgrade).

You don't need to unpack the weather.zip file. Just transfer it as is.

If I have helped you in any way, please forgive me, it was entirely accidental.

That's strange behaviour...mine just skips forward or back and resumes play when using the up/down buttons. Here is a link to the .xml file I use:

see if using it helps. The menu button set to jump back 7 seconds, and holding select brings up the codecinfo banner. I've been using this one for several months now ..

Okay, just did a build and I can confirm weather.zip is not being included in the build, even though it is in the source.

Not sure why though. If a Dev or someone pointed me at the right file to look at, I'd have a go at fixing it. But I'd be learning from scratch.

Fresh build here.

I added to 2nd location with wget.

and I had to do this:

Code:
chmod 666 weather.zip
