With the new weather plugin feature of XBMC you can have your weather window display more info.

Skinners can determine if a plugin is selected by using the infolabel "Weather.Plugin". eg <visible>!IsEmpty(Weather.Plugin)</visible>, thanks spiff

Here is a plugin that adds the above info. Until script settings is added you are stuck with babelfish translating if available and the three map categories. available in the addons svn.

Here is a link to the files for PMIII (not finished, but you can get ideas, won't look exactly as the below pictures): http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/packages/Project%20Mayhem%20III%20-%20Weather.zip

I tried to localize as much as possible. let me know if anything is missing (temperature and wind speed in forecasts is not converted). Skinners let me know if it would better to localize from skin or XBMC wher i localize from script. if skinners are going to localize headings (where possible) i will remove Heading properties.

It currently translates some text with strings.xml files (script/skin/XBMC). The forecast, outlook and wind uses babelfish.yahoo.com. babelfish only works for certain languages.
"Chinese (Simple)": "en_zh",
"Chinese (Traditional)": "en_zt",
"Dutch": "en_nl",
"French": "en_fr",
"German": "en_de",
"German (Austria)": "en_de",
"Greek": "en_el",

"Korean": "en_ko",
"Portuguese": "en_pt",
"Portuguese (Brazil)": "en_pt",
"Russian": "en_ru",
"Spanish": "en_es",
"Spanish (Mexico)": "en_es",

Any weather plugin can set any property. There are no restrictions, but for skinners it would be better to have some standards. Since this is the first I will set some :P.

Nuka1195, looks very good. This might sound like a stupid question, SVN Repo Installer extracted it in XBMC\plugins\weather, but how do I access it? Choosing Weather in the main menu goes to the original Weather Forecast (XBMC 9.04.1 Windows)

queeup

2009-06-01, 15:27

This is wonderful thx. My i ask why are you using babelfish? Goggle Translate (http://translate.google.com/translate_t) has more language support.

queeup

2009-06-01, 15:28

Eheheh Dan ı think you must start from plugins menu :)

Edit: dohh stupid answer?

Nuka1195

2009-06-01, 15:52

you need to edit you skin to support this plugin. the first post has a link to files you can drop in to pmiii folder and it should look work. it won't look the same as the pictures, because i use different fonts and may have nissed some gfx.

if people report google translate is better i can switch it.

Dan Dare

2009-06-01, 16:10

Thanks Nuka1195,

I dropped the files from the archive in C:\Program Files\XBMC 9.04.1\skin\Project Mayhem III (Windows) and it worked, looks like this for me:

http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/8741/weatherplugin.jpg

As you said, that's the default background and some issue with getting the details forecats for Dublin, Ireland (ERROR: invalid rss url set referenced in skin), may be some issue with the website, not necessarily a problem in your code...

Nuka1195

2009-06-01, 16:14

not related. did you go into weather settings and select "weather.com plus"

also this feature was only recently added, may not be in 9.04.1

Dan Dare

2009-06-01, 16:18

Nuka, I just extract the files on top of the existing ones in the installation folder (maybe should've copied them in my user's skin folder?!) and it replaced the standard weather feature, didn't have to do anything in the weather settings... Nvm, I will try again with a newer SVN release, not going to take over the thread :-) Thanks again.

Okay, so let me get this straight -- the Weather + plugin is a newer version of the TWC Supplemental 1.2 script? Same functionality of the TWC Script, just with a cleaner look and more functionality?

lewis.donofrio

2009-06-04, 18:01

So how would we go about on a pure xbox running xbmc get the 'weather' link in the main page using stock skin be able to use this plugin?

Nuka1195

2009-06-04, 19:06

let me try.

the TWC supplemental script is a stand alone script. you need to run it to view the info and for the info to update. it is constantly running. it is not related to the plugin.

the plugin runs when ever xbmc updates weather. all it does is set's properties. these properties are available thru out the skin, but skinners need to take advantage of them. it is not a gui.

a skinner can take advantage of them eg as aeon displays info on the home screen. you could have a control that gas <visible>!IsEmpty(Window(Weather).Property(Alerts))</visible> so if an alert for your selected area came up. a button or textbox could pop up on the home screen alerting you of an alert. or it could display the radar of the selected map.

a skinner could do as i did and edit myweather.xml to display all the info. they could choose to display only a few of the views.

read the first thread, there is a link to files that will work as i did when dropped in pmiii. it is not upto date with the 1.0.1 changes, and won't look exactly as the pictures posted, but you have a start.

about xbox. i'm not current with xbox, so i don't know if it has been merged yet.

Baphomet

2009-06-04, 19:58

It seems like your above statement would suggest the opposite of how I understand each should work (Plugin runs all the time, constantly providing updates, whereas the script runs only when it is ran from the scripts menu and stops running when exiting via the menu button).

I ran through the python scripts and the xml code looking for an answer to my fanart problems and there is no reference to fanart in the plugin code. As I stated before, the TWC script has a setting in it that allows for mapping to the weather fanart directory but since it only runs when executed from the script menu and stops running once you exit the script, it can no longer provide the location of the fanart or the updates of the weather conditions to reference the fanart for the homescreen... Does this make any sense? So what does the reference to the fanart directory in the TWC Supplemental settings actually do?

I apologize if I seem daft -- I've been working on figuring this (http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=52137) out for days and I'm not having any success...

EDIT:

After a complete wipe and reinstall of the stable 06/01 9.0.4x BABYLON FIXED T3CH release, I got the 1.5.x script to work and now understand what the fanart in the settings was for -- It changes the backdrop of the script gui to show the current conditions based fanart... so, I guess, ummm... Thanks!

Nuka1195

2009-06-10, 00:38

no as i said. the plugin runs when xbmc updates weather, fills the properties and exits. leaving the properties available.

the script needs to be running for you to see the info.

now to really confuse you. if the script is run from a link on the weather window. those properties would be avialable thru out the skin even after exiting it (with the latest version) but they would only update when you run the script. confused?

Now that this "Weather Plugin API" is available in XBMC mainline SVN it would be cool to also see some alternative weather forecast sites plugins by third-party developers, for example:
weather.com (http://www.weather.com)
accuweather.com (http://www.accuweather.com)
weather.msn.com (http://weather.msn.com)
HAMweather.com (http://www.hamweather.com)
Weather Underground (wunderground.com) (http://www.wunderground.com)
Intellicast (intellicast.com) (http://www.intellicast.com)
MyForecast (http://www.myforecast.com) (MyForecast.com, power by CustomWeather (http://www.customweather.com))
timeanddate.com (http://www.timeanddate.com) (time and date.com (http://www.timeanddate.com), power by CustomWeather (http://www.customweather.com))

looks like you're trying to run it yourself? it auto runs with xbmc weather update, so should have a sys.argv.

MacLeod_1980

2009-07-24, 01:57

Even when I configure it to be used for my weather it does nothing. Maybe I just don't know how to use it. I simply enabled the feature and pointed at the script... no idea what else I should be doing, or should try.

Hi Nuka, there seems to be a problem with hebrew strings, all the days appear from the end of the word to the beginning (hebrew is right to left lanuage) - exanple with english - today apears as yadot and one string - evening in 36h says music videos

Nuka1195

2009-07-29, 01:16

MacLeod_1980, sounds like you want the twc script. this you enable in weather settings.

logictester, i don't know why they would be reversed. maybe a ss, with you pointing out how it should disple. but i don't think it's on my control.

hey Nuka1195, you know i think you're a pretty ok guy, nice scripts and all.
one of the most valuable xbmc team members for sure...

but i just don't want you in my skin, allright?

http://i687.photobucket.com/albums/vv237/roniez/workz/weather-bug.jpg

this happens after changing the weather.com plus plugin settings,
suddenly 'Music' is replaced by 'nuka1195'.

this also happens in PM3.HD.
tested on both windows and linux (r22374)
i'm using v1.1.9 of the weather.com plus plugin.

you know, i can deal with a little self-promotion,
but this is a bit overdone, don't you think. ;-)

I've created this at both:

special://masterprofile/plugin_data/weather/weather.com plus/settings.xml

But the error remains... the real issue is that it's not 100% reproduceable. It'll happen a dozen times, and then it won't... then it will start again.

hey guys but in the file i've downloaded from the first post I haven't the .py file... why? If I try to download the script from SVN Report it freeze my xbmc... However from svn it's accuweather.com script? Or another? Who can up this script on another server? Thank you. Bye bye

can't help you with the crash, but using the SVN Repo installer, navigate to this:
xbmc-addons > plugins > weather > weather.com plus

SVN is here: http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/weather/

and no it's not the accuweather.com script.

One little issue with having the weather.com plus plugin installed. Every time I shut down and restart XBMC I get the following error.

Error: Python Script Failed:
special://home/plugins/weather/weather.com plus/default.py

First - Thanks for the Great Plugin - very nicely done.
But, Any solution to this - I'm seeing the same thing as others have recently posted here. Sometimes XBMC starts without the errors but most of the time I get this script error as well. From the Log it looks like it's trying to find a file called settings.xml, I have configured the Weather.Com Plus Plugin thru it's settings option. If I go to the Weather Tab it displays properly, but in order to get it I have to toggle "City" in order for it to populate the information.

I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done about this, but for some reason my "Feels Like" and "Humidity" values are always 32 for my city. Any other city or town I have tried works fine, so I am guessing it is an issue with weather.com

The weather.com site and rss feed both have the correct values.... If anyone can shed a little light on this, I would appreciate it. The correct city info on weather.com is here: http://www.weather.com/weather/local/USFL0267

Thanks!

I also have the intermittent python error (default.py) when starting XBMC with weather plus. I don't know what it depends on whether I get it or not. I am using 22516 and transparency 2.11

debug:

Me too, same intermittent error ^^, running Transparency 2.01 and XBMC Nightly Build Patched 23060, will post a debug log later

Nuka,

My XBMC refuses to recognize or load WeatherClient.pyo, nor will python itself import the object.

Python gives me a bad magic number in pyo. I suspect this is the result of it being an object compiled either on windows or a different architecture than x86. Could you send me the py? I assume you include it as an object for speed of loading and not to prevent reverse-engineering, right?

For what it's worth, I'm running on a linux box. Would love to overcome this little hurdle.

Thanks,

- Chris

Hi Nuka,
I've been curious to see this plugin in action, but I've never been able to run it yet...
I'm on linux with r22528.

After I close the error alert window, xbmc restarts. And it's not intermittent, it's every time. Only choice is remove it.
As suggested, giving the open WeatherClient.py would certainly help - supposing you're busy these days.
I also had a minor issue with the plugin failing to recognize the xbmc svn revision (that string was pre9.10 r22528M) which I solved changing this line in default.py
xbmc_rev = int( xbmc.getInfoLabel( "System.BuildVersion" ).split( " r" )[ -1 ] )

to
xbmc_rev = int( xbmc.getInfoLabel( "System.BuildVersion" ).split( " r" )[ -1 ][0:5] )

you could try if a more recent build of xbmc fixes it.
there were some python related issues before, but they should be fixed by now:
