I quite like the weather function on mythtv, where it will show you the current weather details, the forecast and the doppler map.
I've written a python module which fetches all that, basically just a port of mythweather's main functions to python - but I'm having issues integrating it into freevo. I've had some success with having the plugin write to the screen itself, but would like to make it skinable - but to do that I need to add another special case to the python code that handles skins - it seems that although its skinnable the support has to be there for the type of screen - i.e. 'tv' 'player' 'menu' etc. I can create enough to give me a blank screen by copying how 'player' is set up, but as soon as I try to get it to read from the xml skin file I get Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/main.py", line 342, in main_func app.eventhandler(event) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/menu.py", line 567, in eventhandler action( arg=arg, menuw=self ) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/plugins/weather.py", line 37, in showWeather RadarMapGUI(self, self.menuw) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/plugins/weather.py", line 209, in __init__ self.refresh() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/plugins/weather.py", line 230, in refresh skin.draw(('radar_map', self.item)) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/skins/main/main.py", line 669, in draw a.draw(settings, object, style, type, self.force_redraw) File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/skins/main/area.py", line 355, in draw self.draw_background() File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/freevo/skins/main/area.py", line 723, in draw_background for bg in self.layout.background: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'background' This seems to happen whether I have <background> tags or not. I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong as I'm just stabbing in the dark trying to figure this stuff out.
