I wnet to set up the plugin today and tried to set up the RSS feed. This was free and I did not get any request for a partner or receive a license key. I then went to link shown in the plugin information and still received neither but a confirmation of the service. Any suggetions? On the web site is notes the service os now free.

There have been many suggestions for alternative data sources that could be used within WeatherTime, lately. Thanks to Daniel (known as dc11ab in the forum), who mediated recent talks with AccuWeather, things are starting to look promising.

-*The Plugin.pm was installed and working OK for me!*- *My test environment* SlimServer v6.5.1 on a SSODS running on a Synology C406 CubeStation NAS w/Busybox Linux. An SB3 w/firmware#67 (part of the 6.5.1 release) *Test case* 1. Installed Plugin.pm in correct dir over existing WeatherTime Screensaver plugin, which was the latest official release, 1.8. 2. Verified I had the swedish locale settings and restarted the SlimServer. 3. Verified the SB connection to the SS, then turned off the SB with the remote control (as I have the plugin running when the SB is "turned off"-screensaver mode). 4. Verified the "Loading weather data..."-screen, in swedish. -Note: I saw that the "Loading weather data..."-string didn't show the "..." part. Is this a bug?- 5. Verified all the available 5-days forecast data available, in swedish: All the available strings fitted the screen. *Notes* I have no means of testing all translation strings as I am not able to feed the plugin with the weatherdata myself manually. If I was any better at shellscripting I'd like to make that kind of translation test script that would show all strings in a row and then return to normal mode. Sorry, this is at my current limits in this area :/ Another note is that the strings are all UPPERCASE, without looking at the code I assume this is a limitation in the available SB font?

- D'oh! :D Since there were separate translation strings in the code I thought that this plugin was "langauge independent" from the SlimServer, e.g. so I could run the SS with one language but the WeatherTime plugin in another language. I changed to swedish in SlimServer, copied the Plugin.pm featuring the SE translation to the right spot and restarted my SlimServer - it worked out fine! One bug was corrected in the attached file, I had to insert one missing translation string. (Believe it or not, the only string missing was by pure luck the -current- weather condition where I live and instead showed up in english!) I also changed a few SE strings to optimize them to the SB3 display (the only SB I have, and thus can test on). Don't know if it is a feature or a bug, but I noticed that the "Now" current weather condition lasted from the evening until next morning. Shouldn't it say "Tomorrow" after 24:00?

Hi agin Since I'm a total newbie I don't really know how to make a patch. The attached file is the best I can do right now, I hope it works better than the last one. Also, I have made some corrections to some of the SE translations strings since last time. Method I installed PSPad and edited the latest official Plugin.pm file in the weathertime_1.8.tar.gz, downloaded from Martin site, and simply added the SE translations in within the subroutine "sub strings". Other I noted that some strings in german seemed corrupted: Code: PLUGIN_SCREENSAVER_WEATHERTIME_START DE PLAY drücken zum Starten des Bildschirmschoners But perhaps this is the way it should look? Now over to a ...ehem... stupid question: How do I actually implement the translation? I can't find any localization options in the server settings/plugins menu, nor in the equivalent for the Player (both inside SlimServer 6.5.1, that is). I tried reading the comments at the top of the Plugin.pm, and the supplemented README, but could not find it there. Since I am not able to change to SE (or any other translation than default EN) I cannot test the translation myself. Please, I'd appreciate some hints on where I can find info to do this change.

Weather.com has different icons for night and day - they are currently mapped to the daytime icons in Weathertime. Regarding the moon phases, Weather.com does not use different icons for those - but they could be mixed in somewhere (i.e. top left corner). It is probably best if you look at the full icon set of Weather.com (XML SDK - I can send it to you via mail if you drop me a line) and also at the Iconmap in Plugin.pm to see, which Weather.com icon is mapped to which WeatherTime-Icon.

Could it be useful to modularize/separate the icon ascii art to separate file(s)? That could make it easier to update icon images (as opposed to re-install the entire plugin). Then you could make "icon-skins" and users could change icon sets based upon what they prefer. Another thing that could be separated from the main plugin code is the translation strings; making it even easier to find what strings to work on, especially for translation monkeys as myself who might miss some strings in the code (or perhaps even overwrite stuff that wasn't supposed to be translated at all). Basically the idea is intended to make the plugin code easier to maintain and develop, but perhaps I'm way over my head here?

If you look at the %Iconmap hash, you can see the official Weather.Com Icon numbers mapped to the matching index in the @Icons array. Weather.Com icons 19 to 25 are mapped to @Icons[9], aka the questionmark. For your reference, check the Weather.Com icon set included in the XML SDK (I can send it to you by mail, should you not have it). If you design new icons, it would be preferable not to include english words inside the icon (that would break internationalization of the Plugin), but try to express the weather conditions graphically.

It seems to just be ASCII art. Take a look around line 535 of the
Plugins/WeatherTime/Plugin.pm file.
Here's the icon for "sunny":

Hi Martin I'm working on a Swedish translation for the WeatherTime plugin. I've made a draft, attached to this post, and in a later version I'll have it corrected by a friend who used to work as a meteorologist. Right now it's based on what I hear on the news forecast on national television :) Apart from being a newbie meteorologist translator I'm also a non-skilled hacker so I'd appreciate some advice on the way: So, ..errh... go gentle on me! ;) - Is there a need to add swedish ÅÄÖåäö-characters to the Charset, as they are used in the strings? - Should special chars in the strings section be expressed like html code, for instance: å -> å or what format should I apply to them? - Are there characters that I should avoid? (Like /'\" etc.) - How many chars are recommended as maximum in a string? (As to be displayed properly on a SB3) Please have a look at attached file for reference.

I've just upgraded my QNAP to SS 6.5.0 and added the 'All-in-one' plugin pack.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Announce: New WeatherTime Screensaver adds graphical forecasts
I am having problems getting this plugin to work. I am using slimserver 6.5 (build probably from a week ago) and when I try to use the plugin all I can get it so say is "weather forecast loading". It never loads. I imagine it is something simple and stupid I'm overlooking. . . 1. I have registered with weather.com and entered in the proper key and such. 2. I downloaded the sdk file and unzipped it in the weather plugin directory (it was never clear if this needs to be don or not, but I did) 3. My concern is that when you register on weather.com it asks for a server address. How important is that? I have a cable modem that gets assigned an p with DHCP so my IP can change. Also, I use a hub/router so my PC doesn't have an accessible IP. I set up port forwarding in case it was necessary. I entered "myrouterip:9000" on the weather.com site and then forwarded any hits to that port to the machine running slimserver. Is some element of this the problem? If 3 isn't it, is there something else simple I'm overlooking? Thanks.

Try playing around with towns/cities that are in different locations but close to you, for example I live in Petersfield (no data available) I tried Guildford about 20mins north of here but got bad results, so I changed to Fareham which is about 20mins south. I guess as the weather typically comes from the south and rolls off the hills, the forecasts are better now and been spot on for the last few weeks.

I've got plugins for both AccuWeather.com and Weather.com on FireFox and generally they're both more accurate than the general BBC forecast in my case. However that's largely due to the BBC using a weather station that is tens of miles away from me and the others using one that's only a few miles away.
