Weather Plugin - SI Units, City Title trouble

[weisguy]

Hello,

Sometime during the last few days I'm thinking MSN may have changed their format slightly such that the Weather Plugin is no longer parsing the data correctly. Spontaneously, the city name is no longer visible (html/xml garbage instead) and my plugin started displaying temperature in Celsius - occasionally but not always - instead of F. SI units is not checked in my plugin options. I can't recreate the C/F problem now, but the city name problem is visible below

I just checked the Wiki and the most recent version is dated 3/15, before this problem occurred.

I have made no changes to my configuration or environment for several weeks.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled weather plugin with no effect.

MSNBC has changed the format of their web page again, which has broken the plugin. I have already fixed the plug-in, however I have done so for the next version of GBPVR based on .net 2.0. It will take me a bit of time to get my machine setup to build and test things with .net 1.0. I will post the updated dll to this thread as soon as I have it ready.

That's funny as I've just checked and mine works fine! And the wind speed units are fixed, too! (I use SI and used to have temp in C but wind in mph). But the 'Details' listings are in deg F and mph, though. Oh, well, can't have everything!

I noticed that it works on and off too. When I go to MSNBC directly on the web the title of the page (as shown by the browser) is sometimes listed as "#Local# instead of the city name like it should be. Maybe they had a bug that they fixed.
