Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

OK, weather.com has stopped updating outside of the USA as well, for the last 3/4 days. Strangely, so far it does update once a day - and fails the rest of the time....(later edit: now stopped entirely with http error).

Vasvlad any chance at a correction for the date issue on yr.no?

tnx HA

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Is the XML feed from Weather.com documented anywhere? I have a few devices (the N900 included) that try to pull from that, and would prefer to setup a LAN re-route so I can have a local server send what looks like a weather.com feed to them, getting the info from another source.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Yes. :)
Write me to PM.

Vlad.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

yup, same for me in germany.

omweather weather.com source does not update anymore. it does not give me an error message though. it just updates and sais "successfully loaded 0/3"

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

I think the problem resolved itself earlier today.

Try to update the weather again. :)

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Still the same error here in Europe......

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Hi.


I've uploaded the new version of omweather-weather-com-stations-db 1.0.6 to extras-testing repository.
Please install it, reboot your device and try to update weather forecast.

Vlad.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Seems to be working fina after this update. Thanks.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Is this somehow a permanent solution to the weather.com api rule change, or a temporary measure?

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Second.

Vlad.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

updated today from extras, loaded 4/4 succesfully for the first time in 6 days, no reboot needed ; the nethwrlands

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Well, like i said before, i'd much prefer to see omweather go to wuderground.com as it's more developer friendly, and seems just as accurate as weather.com.

weather.com will crack down on web scraping if enough n900s start doing it, let alone the maintenance nightmare of keeping up with normal weather.com web page changes.

wunderground.com provide a 'normal' api, which will be reliable and last. weather.com will now render OMweather unreliable and a maintenace nightmare..

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Thanks foe suggestion. I know about wunderground.com. But I'm very busy now in project MeeCast for Harmattan. :(

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Where could I find the fixed version for Diablo? (Assuming a fix for Diablo has been done, of course.) It looks like extras-testing is a Maemo5 repository...? Thanks.

EDIT: never mind, it seems that the new working version showed up in one of my OS2008 repositories right after I posted this. Coincidence? I doubt it, but can't say for sure...anyways, thanks for the fix.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Yes it's coincidence :)

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Hi,
I use an old version of Omweather on N800 OS2008, (omweather 0.22.8 database 0.9.5), and I was very happy with it, it was much better for me than the newer versions
Lately since not using the tablet for a month or so, there is a problem, when I try to refresh the data it says: "did not download weather", and the whole data shows N/A.
Is there a possibility to fix it while staying with the old version?

Thankyou

Tori

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

^ I'm the exact same as this dude.

Wow.

And I thought I was the only weird one in this thread who was like this. :)

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

So OmWeather is getting no updates for 3 days now on my 900.....

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Please update package omweather-weather-com-stations-db to version 1.0.6 see here http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ions-db/1.0.6/
And reboot your device.

Vlad.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Hmmm.
Try version 1.0.6 of database. Reboot your device after updating, please.

Vlad.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Hey Vlad.

Diablo. Omweather 0.22.12 with the latest 1.0.6 Database.

Still getting a "did not download weather" error.

Cheers buddy. :)

It is suddenly partially working again, without any change made by me, but partially only, for example: it did download the Berlin station, but did not download the Prague station..
Wierd...
Tori

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

^ Same here.

It took me at least 10 tries to force update the weather until it finally took.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Hey Addison,
It was partially updated, I don't really understand how, but it doesn't any more, and the same for you with the newer database.
A problem, and the annoying message: ;"did not update weather" in any try for update. I don't understand how to solve it, we better wait for Vlad and his suggestions

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Hi Addison and Tori.
Thank you for your persistence!

I've uploaded fixed version to extras (0.22.15).
New package has name omweatheroldstyle http://maemo.org/packages/view/omweatheroldstyle/

BR,
Vlad

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Thanks Vlad..
But,' I've tried to force refresh again and again, it could refresh only once in hundreds of tries.
I guess there is a real problem wih the database file

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

omweatheroldstyle_0.22.15_armel

I get an unable to install package error.

God bless. :)

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

I don't know if this is the official topic about omweather. Anyhow I want to say that I am using it with weather.com database and I never had problems, but since a few days it does't update anymore. With manual update success in loading is about 10%.
If there is a bug, please correct it.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

I need more detail.
Can you install it using apt-get install ?

Vlad.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Hi Patroclo.
Please install latest version of omweather-weather-com-stations-db - 1.0.6
And reboot your device.
Vlad.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Thanks Vlad! :)

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Tori. Show me versions of Omweather's packages in your device.

Vlad.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Do you have this compiled for Diablo as well?

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Yes.
See here http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ions-db/1.0.6/

Vlad.

Re: New version of OMWeather is available for testing.
 

Hi Vlad,
Maybe this is the problem I cannot solv,
What is the way to do that?
Thanks
