Weather - forecast keeps throwing me an error

[drewkaree]

Every so often when hitting the "forecast" button in weather, I get an error message (didn't write it down, and naturally, it's working now) and the forecast not only won't show, it can only be fixed by a shutdown of gbpvr and restarting it again.

When it happens again, I'll be sure to write down the error message and post it here, but has anyone else had this problem (and perhaps can recite the error message too)

If you do see it again, please email your gbpvr.exe.log file to jefflmailbox-gbpvr@yahoo.com and I will take a look. Errors do happen if the web request to msnbc times out. The plug-in tries to recover from these by reloading the weather again at a later time.

Same problem here, just with the forcast though. Have to use the mouse after the error comes up, restar gbpvr

I get the same error... only on forecasts.

I am ready to dump this plugin (which has great potential) unless someone can supply a solution.

I get this same error on and off. I've emailed tipster since originally, it was not working with his skin. After I got his patch, it worked right away. Now it's 50/50.
Thought it was just me.

pcostanza .... what patch?

[Jeff]

If you post your gbpvr.exe.log file the error will be clear very quickly. If it is a skin error, which from the message it looks like it is, the log file will give the name of the missing element. If it it is an error in the plug-in the log wil lshow that too. Posting the screen shot wthout the log doesn't help much.

I don't have a gbpvr.exe.log in my gbpvr folder... :confused:

I don't have a gbpvr.exe.log in my gbpvr folder... :confused:

You do, but some people have windows set to "hide the extension for known files types" so it shows up has gbpvr.exe with a file type of "log file". Take another look.

Benz, I got the latest download for Xmedia at http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Skin/XMedia
tipster had updated the file but I think the link above is the updated file.
Worked for me.
