Weather plugin problems

[spyork]

I'm running the latest version of gbpvr along with the latest version of the weather plugin downloaded from the wiki. When I try to run the weather plugin I get the following errors in the log... Any ideas???

Anyone have any ideas?? Is this plugin not actively developed/supported anymore?

My memory isn't the best but...

It thinks your zip code is 40511 but it can't find any data for that zip code so try another; close by.

I have the same problem before, you need to download the new .dll from the wiki.

Ok, I have been guilt tripped into posting an update on the wiki at last.

Here are the release notes:

2006–03–13 :

• Added additional weather types to the mappings between text and icons
  
• Updated to work with latest MSNBC web page
  
• Note that this update uses a new version on the CommonGBPVRUtilities that should be backwards compatible with older versions, although it has only been lightly tested for this

I downloaded the new version of the plugin, but I'm still getting the same problems in the log file. The url in the log file works fine in firefox. I've tried a few more zip codes, but nothing fixed the problem. Any more ideas? Thanks...

Okay...I finally fixed the problem. I downloaded what I thought was the latest version of the weather plugin from the wiki, but it wasn't. When I look at the wiki the latest version of the dll is not posted. I found the following link in a forum post that seemed to work though. Has the weather plugin installer not been updated yet?

You are right, the version on the wiki is old again. I don't know what happened. I will reload the file and see if I can fix the page. I won't be able to get to the right PC for several hours however.
