[RELEASE] The Weather Channel (TWC) - Supplemental Script

Hi there,

Anyone else getting corrupted layout for temperatures on the 10 day preview?

This happens using Celsius...

Cheers,
J

If you need help post what skin you're using and I'll tell what to change in the xml.

Edit -- or better yet PM me or I'll forget to look here.

As requested, for PM3.HD open Home.xml in xbmc/skin/PM3.HD/720p, then search for "Weather Push Button".

Under that change line 696 from

Code:

<onclick>ActivateWindow(Weather)</onclick>

to

Code:

<onclick>RunScript(C:\Documents and Settings\rwparris2\Application Data\XBMC\scripts\TWC Supplemental\default.py)</onclick>

Obviously you'll need to substitute that path to fit your system.

Hello,
First let me say that this is my most used script, so Thank You Nuka1195! I was wondering if you would consider adding the "local interactive maps" from weather.com to the list of map choices? The classic maps for my locale are too wide of a range. The interactive maps even have a new "future" selection that makes them perfect for seeing storms coming.
Thanks!

i don't beleive it's possible.

Is there a way to increase the font size within the script? I scanned this thread, but didn't see anything.
or is the font size tied to the skin in which it's invoked? (currently using in jezz_x's mediastream_redux)

edit: Nevermind, went poking around the skin directory within the script's folder and replaced the instances of 'font10' with 'font12' and voila! it became readable at distance again.

I got a problem with Metric Units and Values shown If you turn on Metric Units it still shows imperial "Fanrenheit" in the 36 hour forcast and the weekend Outlook sections
See Image (red circles)

weather.com doesn't localise those.

the "plugin" (which skins almost the same) does do more, but i haven't figured a good way to handle those. converting "low 60s" would be what in celcius?

**Jezz_X** · 2009-07-25 09:32

Well my guess is 60's and 40s are just 60 degree and 40 degree in fahrenheit
so according to google 60 degrees Fahrenheit = 15.5555556 degrees Celsius
so I guess highs in the low 10s :\

Nuka1195 · 2009-07-26 01:45

Yeah i know how to convert. the problem is/was if it's low 60s, then is it 60 or 63, same with mid or high.

this is how i did it, if someone has a better way, please post.

this is only available in the plugin as this script is depreciated and does not have these localized functions. what weather.com returns is what i use.

skinning the plugin isn't much different and an easy check to see if the plugin is available is !IsEmpty(Weather.Plugin) i think is what it is.
