[RELEASE] OzWeather - Australian Weather Addon using BOM data

pan2 · 2013-05-22 08:20

I just dumped my version of your myweather.xml into Aeon Nox just to check and it works fine without any additions. Just needs a few adjustments with positions and font sizes as you said. You do lose the side panel though. I think Aeon-Nox is sufficiently different to other skins that it is hard to adapt bits from other skins to it

Well happy to put any cleaned up Nox version in the wiki if anyone has time to knock it up. But I am super busy @ work right now so no chance of me doing it for a while.

The OzWeather add-on is great mate. A most unusual problem does occur for me and I have no idea why. If I decide to put the date beside days 1 to 7 for instance, I use the following code (this for day 3):

$INFO[Window(Weather).Property(Daily.3.ShortDate)]

In OzWeather it doesn't show up; however, if I switch over to Weather Underground, I lose the radar (naturally) but the dates appear for all the days.
If I then switch back to OzWeather, the radar is back and the dates remain until I restart. They then disappear again.
In fact any attempt to use that code in a home screen label fails to show while using OzWeather.
Any idea why?

Have worked out the problem. Would you be able to add script to oz weather so that the following works in xml scripts. I think it's done in the python default, so maybe add that as a text in pastebin would be good Smile

$INFO[Window(Weather).Property(Daily.%i.ShortDay)]
$INFO[Window(Weather).Property(Daily.%i.LongDay)]
$INFO[Window(Weather).Property(Daily.%i.ShortDate)]
$INFO[Window(Weather).Property(Daily.%i.LongDate)]

Sorry, didn't see this one - my emails notifications aren't coming through for some reason.

It's not as easy as that - one needs the code to convert the day (retrieved from Weatehrzone actually) - and the from there come up with the property texts before setting those properties (whcih is what your snippet does).

This would be en excellent learning python thing for you - my advice is clone my repo:
https://code.google.com/p/ozweather/

...work out the code, then submit a pull request. I'll be happy to merge it in. Hint - the code you are looking around is around line 398 of default.py

But right now I have no dev time to spare for XBMC sorry Sad

Good luck!
