Hi, I found an odd issue with RC 2 where XBMC seems to hang when using a master lock code and editing the weather settings.

Go into System settings and enter a lock code and check these options
"Lock programs & scripts..."
"Lock file manager"
"Lock settings"
"Lock Add-on manager"

Then go into weather settings and change your location. You should get prompted for the lock code before you can enter a new location. Enter a new location (or just escape that without changing anything).

Then back out of settings altogether to return to the home screen. When I do this XBMC seems to hang. I just see the home screen wallpaper with no menu. Waited several minutes and nothing happens. Need to kill the app.

searching for 'Toronto' woks ok on my end

it might be an internet connection issue you're having...
do other addons work ok? the youtube addon for instance
or check if you can install addons from the repo,
and if the rss feed show up.

i've just pushed an update for the weather addon to stop crashing when no internet connection is available.
it will now show a friendly 'no locations found' message.

Will the add-in support Personal Weather Stations?

I attempted to enter the Station ID without any luck.

not currently, but i'm working on an extended version that supports personal weather stations,
airport codes, zip codes and long/lat coordinates.

Awesome.
If you need a BETA tester for the new add-in let me know.
Kind Regards

Hi Ronie.

You were right. It wasn't the weather add-on.

I had been playing with proxy servers. Within IE I had set internet options/connections to use a proxy - thinking that it would only affect IE. Turns out that the setting affects at least some part(s) of XBMC.

I could download add-ons but they would not retrieve any information. (Probably the result of the settings for the proxy I was accidentally using.)

Turned off the proxy in IE and everything is now fine!

Thanks for the help and the friendlier error message. That may help others to pinpoint the issue in the future.

Cheers

I finally got this to work, but.... displays temperature in Celcius rather than Farenheit. I have the International settings correct, and it displays the F not the C. But the temp is wrong. Any ideas? I have already tried deleting the addon database filed, no luck. BTW this is the only weather plugin that works at all for me (I'm on Eden RC2).

which weather location have you selected?
what are the 'language' and 'region' settings in xbmc?

bigdawgte · 2012-03-17, 02:12

weather location is my home 20##4, Upper Marlboro, MD. Settings International is Language: English, Region: USA.

oh, and btw, it's most likely being caused by the old xbmc build you're using.
