New weather plugin alpha

[bs007]

Sub suggested to me to delete a part of the config.xml and that solved my 'Celsius' problem. I had probably messed up my config.xml when installing the new weather app. So I'm pretty sure the error was only in my configuration and not in gb-pvr or the new weather plugin.
Good luck with your new job, CodeMonkey!

My problem is somehow related to regional settings. If I set locale to Finnish (control panel -> regional options) I get an error. With English it works ok.

When you say 'I get an error' is that when you press the weather button in the weather plugin or when trying to set it in the config dialog?

[sisuomin]

Error appears when weather button is pressed. Configuration works ok.

Sub maybe you can have a look.  I added the log command here in DownloadWeatherInformation:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
System.Uri uri = new System.Uri(weatherURL);
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(uri);
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());

string weatherSummaryText = streamReader.ReadToEnd();

Logger.Verbose(weatherSummaryText);

// parse information out of summary text

When the US locale is selected here is that part of the log:

Does this failure make any sense to you?  That error message is not generated by the weather plugin.

[sub]

Can you email the code for the WeatherTask.CurrentConditions() function? Send it to me at support@devnz.com

[sub]

I suspect its a problem parsing one of the numeric fields that contain a decimal point.

sisuomin, does the Finnish locale use comma's instead of decimal points?

[CodeMonkey]

I believe it does, sub.   You have mail.

It makes sense too. Your example, which runs fine in the finnish locale, doesn't parse any real numbers.

[sub]

The microsoft online-help indicates that the float and double.parse() methods parse a culture-specific decimal point symbol, so this likely to be the problem.

Use the form of Double.Parse which takes an IFormatProvider, and give
it CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, eg:

double d = Double.Parse (myString, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

[CodeMonkey]

Yup, that fixed it. Thanks sub.

It will be in the next weather release.
