STV: nielm combo STV (v1.8 Oct 19) - Page 25

Henki · #**481** 10-26-2004, 05:29 PM

Have a problem with Weather Report Suite. I've installed and reinstalled nielm stv many times now, but the WRS has never worked 100%. I've tried all default configuration and some that have been posted on this forum, but the same happends every time. The WRS starts without any error messages and open the local conditions view. But without any information at all. (see attachment) This happens with forecast view aswell. But all the other views: radars, maps etc are downloaded and working. Can anyone help me with this?

What version of the Java runtime are you guys with forecast/conditions display problems using?

nielm · #**483** 10-26-2004, 05:48 PM

Henki, Methius and DIBU,

The only time I have been able to reproduce the screenshot you all sent (they are all the same after all) is if my weather.com location ID is not correct...
This will cause the forecast and current conditions to fail to retrieve the information from weather.com

Can you recheck your weatherconfig.xml... (perhaps try the default one just to check?

Eg: Henki, for london, you should have the location defined as:

Code:

<location name="London" label="London">
        <weathersourceinfo id="UKXX0085"/>
</location>

DIBU, for Frankfurt, you need to use the location ID of GMXX0185 in a similar XML block..

To check that you have the correct location ID, put it at the end of this URL in your web browser:
http://www.weather.com/weather/local/

To find your location ID, search for your city in www.weather.com, and you will be taken to a URL of something like:

Code:

www.weather.com/outlook/travel/local/BEXX0005?from=search_city

The location ID is between the last '/' and the '?'

If anyone else out there has tried or could try WRS under Niel's latest release (either Sage 2 or 2.1), I'd be interested in your findings: do you get forecast and local conditions?

Salsbst ,,, I have Sage 2 and Nielm 1.8 ... WRS works fine for me ... ???

Hector · #**485** 10-27-2004, 12:39 AM

Same for me. I use Nielm's latest release (still the best STV IMO) and your module on 2.1RC5 and it's perfectly fine.

peace . . .

:-/
I'm using Sage 2 with java 1.4.2_05..
And the weather locations are correct..
When I use them with the Mlbdude skin, they work.

(also, the default xml doesn't work)

WRS is not featured in Mlbdude's STV.

I don't understand.

I'm using Sage 2 with java 1.4.2_05. The picture I sent was from when i used default XML configuration. I tried with the one Nielm posted here, but with the same result.

Runned the command config test and the result was this:

I don't mean the WRS (the mistake I made some posts ago

), but the Weather module function in the MlbDude2 STV.

I have both weather module's enabled in Nielm's STV (to see if the forecast problem could be WRS specific).
And the weather retrieval module from MlbDude2's STV works, the WRS doesn't.
(the fault that no forecast/weather data is shown, the animations work)

About the XML, in default mode (just install, no modifications) it still doesn't work

...

Thanks for runing the test app... It looks like the WRS code is having problems either retrieveing or parsing the XML weather information from weather.com...

Do you normally need to use proxy servers to access the net?

You are all non-us based... Do you have any xerces.jar files in java/jre/lib/ext for use with the XMLTV plugin? Can you try moving this xerces.jar file somewhere else and retry the test?

Can you check that all the .jar files from the nielm_stv-jre-lib-ext are in the java/jre_xxx/lib/ext directory?

(and yes, the mlbdude 'simple' weather screen proves that the location ID's are OK, and that weather.com is reachable...)
(and if you do remove xerces.jar, and it fixes it, check that the XMLTV plugin still works by using the plugin tester from the XMLTV thread... Recent Java versions include xerces.jar -- I don't need it on my system)

Henki · #**491** 10-27-2004, 08:39 AM

No i'm not behind av proxy server
The files are where in right folder. Did reinstall the to be sure
Removed xerces.jar for a command test:

Didn't look any different to me..

Just one thing - when I go to weather.com and then to London. the path is http://www.w3.weather.com/outlook/travel/local/UKXX0085?from=search_city
Much the same as you has written before, but allso with this w3 just after www. Does this matter?

Methius · #**492** 10-27-2004, 09:03 AM

Same here, didn't work..

Maybe a thing to note:
I'm getting Internet on the HTPC, using Wireless network connected to a pc that is connected to a ADSL hub.

But that wouldn't explain why the simple version Weather retrieval works...

no, the java uses a different server anyway - only the location ID is important (and UKXX0085 is valid)...
I will try to create a Location.class with more debugging later tonight.

Just one thing to check: does the file:
com\stusals\wrs\data\WeatherDotCom.class
exist in the SageTV directory...

Henki · #**494** 10-27-2004, 11:10 AM

yepp, the file is there.

nielm · #**495** 10-27-2004, 12:53 PM

Ok, I have updated the java classes zipfile on the server to add more debugging info when things go wrong...

Download, unpack and re-try the test stub

Methius · #**496** 10-27-2004, 01:54 PM

The result with the new files is in the text file.

salsbst · #**498** 10-27-2004, 02:23 PM

Ok, it's clear now. You guys have locale settings that default the expected date format to the European standard, and weather.com is giving it to you in the U.S. standard format.

I'll fix this tonight if Niel doesn't beat me to it.

Thanks for your patience.

Methius · #**499** 10-27-2004, 02:25 PM

Thank you for your WRS

Maybe someone should set up Paypal accounts for the time and effort you guys are putting into these STV's (If Studio doesn't come out soon)

abasu2003 · #**500** 10-27-2004, 02:48 PM

I have a feeling this is another one of those times i'm not looking hard enough but can you expand on the custom command capability?

I'm basically jsut looking for a format of how this would work, both in the Sage.Properties file and how you would access it in the UI
