MVP/NMT testers needed for Weather2

[scb147]

I think this might be due to the fact that I can't kick off the auto update thread at the time the MVP/NMT is first initialized. This is what this build fixed. The MVP/NMT doesn't kick off the auto update until Activate is called. If your server was running, the MVP/NMT would use the info it downloaded. But since it didn't, the MVP/NMT had to download all the updated weather information.

If your server was running, then something else is the matter. But this seems like what is going on.

I'd like it to update at startup even with a MVP/NMT, but I don't know how to make the plugin only kick off that thread once. Since the constructor is called 3 times for a MVP/NMT device.

It's wrong to do it on startup since they start up with the recording service and they may never even run.

@Jaggy could you see if turning off incremental updates in config.xml fixes this.

Thanks Martin, I figured that as much.

Sounds like the "Update at Startup" option is only good for a server/client machine. The MVP/NMT will always have to update at activate. If the server is running Weather2 already, then the MVP/NMT can use that to update.

I'm thinking it is working fine, I just need to change the popup message.

Yes I think your right, would there be any way to let you back out of the plugin once you have activated it so you can continue on doing other things while it is updating as it does take quite a while to download all the data? After it has been activated the first time it is just bad luck if you enter it as it is doing an automatic update so maybe not such an issue after the first activate.

This is probably do-able... just have to decide if I want this to be a setting or not.

Thanks Jaggy... I hope to get a new release out soon, but my day job has me pretty busy recently and I haven't had the time to get to Weather2 as much as I'd like.
