New weather plugin alpha

[sub]

I just tried NLXX0002 here and seem to work fine.

Also in Celsius?

Yes. Do you have a firewall that could be stopping the weather plugin from getting to the http://www.msnbc.com website?

[bs007]

Yes I have a firewall - IPCOP 1.3 - but I never have any problems like this with it. But I don't know how the plugin is getting the weather details. If it uses a usual protocol and a standard or a high portnumber the firewall can't be blocking it. I have just tried to change the area code in the weather plugin but I can't anymore. So the problem resides in the plugin itself, gbpvr or another software problem in my PVR-pc. The error I get is in a window called 'Disk Space sample configuration form'. ??? Disk space can't be the issue here.
Did I already say your help is highly appreciated?

lol. The Weather plugin started out as a diskspace plugin. CodeMonkey you'll need to change the title of the configuration form.

It gets the weather information using a standard http request (TCPIP port 80), so its probably not the problem. Its was just a suggestion of something to check.

I had though it was in the main GB-PVR software, but your description above sounds like it is in the config app. Can describe exactly what happens?

How do you reproduce the error? Are you simple selecting the Celsius check box then hitting the OK button? Can you reproduce the error then email me the config.exe.log?

[bs007]

It is in your mailbox. Indeed I was simply clicking on the Celsius check box then hitting the OK button.

Oh, good catch sub. I thought it was when trying to get the weather too

[CodeMonkey]

Weird. I just tried NLXX0002 and it showed the 'unknown' weather icon. So I checked what is coming out of msnbc and saw

this.swConText = "";

No weather context, how strange. But at least it didn't crash because of it

[CodeMonkey]

I just emailed a new version to sub. Nothing but the title bar change in the config dialog.

I'm working on the forecast stuff but it's a bit strange, and I just started a new job so it might take a couple more days for that.

Then I have to think about what to do next.
