Plugin: Weather

[DJArty]

Ok.. daily add Weather to svn but think maybe need some update to version?

[RevDrew]

I'm not sure if it's just me or other have experienced this also..

I have WDLXTV 1.02.21_0.4.3.1 flashed to my live.
I installed the weather plugin and it works flawlessly so Th@nX very much for it, nice job!

however I have started running 1.02.21-EXT3-Boot-Live-0.4.5.3 on my live and when I activate the weather plugin, it allows me to watch 1 show only.
I can browse and do whatever I want in the menu but when I select another video the screen goes black and stays that way, I have to reboot it to watch another show.
I can access it remotely via ftp or the web frontend to reboot it or do whatever else I want..


I disabled the plugin and was able to watch 3 shows in a row and I started 4 more and stopped them within a minute to be sure that's what it was..
not sure if what is going on with it but I thought I should pass along my findings..

Thanks

Sry I dont get it.

How to set something in the S00custom-options ? Or do I have a file named like that on my usb stick ?

when you downloaded wdlxtv there was a file called S00custom-options (just a file no extension)

add this
config_tool -c WEATHER_ID="EUR|UA|UP006|KHARKIV"
config_tool -c METRIC_ID="1"

and place file on a thumb drive and reboot
see the first post in thread for how to enter correct values above

Thank you.

I thought die S00custom-options is only executed while flashing a new firmware.

## this file is only executed if it is at the root of an attached device at boot
## *** NO REFLASH IS REQUIRED: S00custom-options is executed EVERY boot ***

Sorry to be a bit dim with this question......

I''ve started using the Webend to configure my WD TV Live and therefore the S00custom-options file has been DISABLED, so how do I now localise the weather plugin for my area. Surely if I re-enable the S00custom-options file all my configurations will revert to what's contained in the S00custom-options file and then as soon as I re-configure using the webend then this will be disabled and the localised string I've inserted into it will be ignored.

I'm using the 1.02.21-WDLXTV-Live-0.4.5.3 version of the firmware.

I'm sure there's a simple answer but appreciate some advice.

You can just create an empty S00custom-options in root of flash/disk
and add to it only two strings like

Code: Select all

config_tool -c WEATHER_ID="EUR|UA|UP006|KHARKIV"
config_tool -c METRIC_ID="1"

but change to your city.
P.S. I think also something bad happened with WDTVExt engine in 0.4.5.3 (as compared with 0.4.2.2)

How is this Plugin downloaded. The website from the link is in some foreign language. And, are all the updates in the final download or is there more that needs to be done after installing in the plugin folder?

thanks,

Many thanks DJArty for such a neat plug-in and for answering my query so speedily - I've been meaning to install it for a while and it now works ALMOST great. The one thing I have found is when I select the Earth view I can't seem to exit this screen view, I've pressed all the keys on the remote and the earth image sticks there leaving the only option is to switch the WDTV Live to standby and back on again - any thoughts / what remote key should work to return to previous screen (I would assume the "back" key)?

This plug-in is still totally relevant despite the latest official firmware now supporting AccuWeather (although I have to admit the Official versions way of displaying the weather data is quite attractive). I'm sticking with 1.02.21-WDLXTV-Live-0.4.5.3 as the AutoRes feature is important for me and I can't see future official firmware updates supporting moviesheets. I wouldn't be surprised if this is as far as I go regarding Firmware upgrades as everything works great and, from what I understand, all the extra functionality WD are now including in their latest firmware updates is making it increasingly difficult for WDLX TV team to squeeze their enhancements into the available memory of the WD TV Live (have I understood this correctly?).

Again, many thanks for developing this plug-in - your efforts are appreciated.
