special MVP code?

[Jaggy]

Done, no change as far as not displaying on the NMT is concerned, more logs attached.

The logs look like the same problem - inserting a duplicate key in the WeatherIcons.LoadIcons() method.

2009-08-30 13:53:53.350 ERROR [6] Inner exception: System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added.

I'll catch this exception and give you a test build... I don't have time today, so it will have to be tomorrow (meaning Monday EDT)

Here is another test build with exception handling for the LoadIcons() method.

I've also moved the call to this to the Activate method, instead of the Weather2 constructor.

Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this.

EDIT: I've added another .dll, weather2.XmlSerializers.dll to this zip. Put it in the same folder as the weather2.dll plugin.

Excellent progress, two steps forward but unfortunately one step back as well.

It now shows on the NMT & appears to works fine.

Torrents now works when Weather2 is also installed on the same machine.

Unfortunately Forecast now displays 0 days, a clear everything & roll back to the old version & it then displays 5 days Forecast data.

The skin will need some tweaking for displaying on the MVP/NMT as they display things a bit (sometimes a lot) bigger than the PC does so some text is wrapping & some is getting cut off. One other observation even though it had just gone through a full update on the PC it went through the whole process again on the NMT when I selected it.

Great, glad that it's at least showing up now!

The Forecast showing 0 days was my fault... I put something in and forgot to take it back out before I gave you the build.

Does the MVP create its own instance of a plugin?

[sub]

Each MVP runs as its own PVRX2.exe instance, each with its own plugins etc loaded.

There may still be a problem on the NMT as mine just rebooted for no apparent reason (something it doesn't normally do) after sitting on the screensaver for over an hour, but prior to that I had been modifying the skin to go with Blue-Retro-SHV so I can't produce meaningful logs at the moment. Tomorrow I will fire it up early with the blue skin & see if it does it again.

EDIT: I just had a look in the weather2\profile directory & I think it re-booted the NMT at the time it ran an automatic update.

Something else I have noticed (I think different with the version I am running now) is every time I enter it after restarting GB (which I have to do a lot modifying the skin) it now does an update every time. I notice there is a weather.xml in each profile does it check the age of this on starting & if newer than xxx not update?

No worries, when I beta test I report anything odd/out of the ordinary I see

Further to this: Tonight after the boss got home I lost use of the laptop & went back to editing the skin on my PC (the NMT server for Weather2) & found now when I close GB & re-start it & then go back into Weather2 it doesn't do fresh update each time........maybe because it has now done a number of automatic updates during the day do you think??
