I installed...works |
Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
I noticed that hourly forecast results are corrupt. At least for me. When the tempertature is ~ -4 deg. Celcius, it shows ~ +21. When I switch to Fahrenheit, it goes ~ +70. And always says it's "clear" - while it's cloudy since a week!
Anybody else experiencing this? |
Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
yes, and me...

Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
i was enjoying this app everyday, but recently it stopped to retrieve weather data. maybe api changed?
since is unofficial leaked app, we should delete definitely the app,or a miracle is still possible? someone who can look for a fix or write at support@accuweather.com ? |
Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
Hmmm...
Maybe, somebody has time to write an open-source GTK-Hildon weather app, which would accept plugins for different websites-APIs? I do not find it nice when you have to depend on one particular company for weather, just because it has the only-nice-app for the platform. It would also be nice if back-end would be separate from GUI. So you can ask back-end to warn you when a storm, or a rain, is coming, and it notifies you (LED Pattern, Sound, whatever) without opening GUI. accuweather: closed-leaked, not available in repositories, uses accuweather omweather (and Omweatheroldstyle): nice (GTK-Hildon), free, uses weather.com qtmobile-weather (and qtmobiledemo-weather): Qt, weather around the world qtweather (and qtweather-qml): Qt, NWS weather from USA government for USA weather: build failed, three years ago omweather seems to be the most promising one. Thank you. Best wishes. |

Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
Ok, Just trying to gather as much data as possible, on both data-formats and access to the API...
http://api.wunderground.com/weather/api/ Cost: free, pay more if you use API too often Format: JSON or XML http://www.programmableweb.com/api/n...er-service-nws Format: XML, SOAP, DWML Cost: free? http://openweathermap.org/API Format: JSON, XML, HTML Cost: free, limitation of capacity http://www.worldweatheronline.com/api/docs/ Format: JSON, XML, .... Cost: free http://blog.forecast.io/the-forecast-data-api/ Format: JSON Cost: free 1000calls/day, additional calls $1 per 10000 calls Additional information, and-or correction, is welcome. Thank you. Best wishes. |
Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
Yeah, they've all got limits that pretty much stop any free api from being usable in a general app:

Which actually brings me to a question: are there any options left for commercial, paid apps on Maemo? None of these weather providers offer direct-to-user payment plans; their APIs all assume they will be getting paid by the app (or web) developer, and that person will be finding some way to generate revenue. Actually, I've been mulling this over for another app I've been working on, so let me open a new thread for it. :) |
Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
Copernicus, maybe taking over maintainership of the abandoned omweather would be a good solution? From all the programs, it still works, and would require only few minor bugfixes to be "perfect"... (Famous Last Words [TM]).

EDIT: Aha, I see that omweather can access other providers; I'm seeing database for a Russian and a Norwegian service in the application manager. Still, not sure how those would work. EDIT 2: Ok, I'm running OMWeather now, and oddly enough, it is pulling data down from weather.com just fine... |

Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
I've always used (when needed) OMWeather without any major issues. UI is sometimes a little awkward with regards to clicking to switch between current, AM/PM forecast, hourly forecast.
Meecast was a successor IIRC so it may have a few ideas for anyone willing to take up the task of maintaining/updating/creating new app. |

I think an app based mostly on openweathermap.org is probably the most feasible choice for an open source app going forward; but still, once that limit is hit, service for all users will be disrupted until it gets restored... |

Anyway, indeed, it (should) be build to support providers via "modules". BTW, if you're looking at source code (and will be able to determine where it gets its weather.com data...), it suffer from two odd bugs. First, between 0 and 6 AM (local time of user), the days in long-term forecast are shifted +1 from reality. So, if it is 3AM saturday, forecast for next day will be shown as "Monday". Second, the length of day is bugged - it shows same sunset and sunrise for whole week. Then, at some unknown point, it updates (to, again, show the same, changed values, for whole week). Maybe it have something to do with weather.com changes, dunno. /Estel |

A quality source in that respect. |
Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
One possibility is to emulate web browser and pull the HTML code from their sources, such as m.weather.com. This would be similar to playon LUA scripts that loads the web pages acting like browser and then extracts the necessary information from the HTML code using search strings looking specific keywords. I have done couple playon LUA scripts (One of them as an example is "All iLive channels" at http://www.playonscripts.com/).
The downside for the above method is that it may have large overhead of unnecessary data (packet data users may be concerned) due to loading everything what exists in real web page. Second issue is that if the providers keep changing the HTML web site layout it normally breaks these scripts. |
Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
Copernicus: If you decide to maintain Meecast, I can help you a bit with making it run on N900. I managed to do it a long time ago.
You need to tweak a little with the graphics system and use updated MeeGo Touch from my repo. I'll give you the details if you're interested. /edit: and as for the paid APIs - what about simply adding an option to use one's own API key, just as in wolfram alpha? /edit2: @all: what's the best weather source for Poland, in your opinion? |

Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
Well, I guess that the spirit of the scheme is as follows - to stop people from making profit from not their own work. Or to limit unofficial apps (vide WA)

Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
Copernicus: And do you have any other option than scraping the web page if the service provides no API?
And I'd disagree - most people don't know about adblockers, and the main reason people use them is the intrusive ads. And OMP works that way due to no API |

Then see if the yr source in OMW works for Poland. |

If the service provides no API, I'd suspect that means the service doesn't want you to use their data outside of their web page. That's all I'm trying to say here... Quote:

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33221 but he said is busy working at meecast for sailfish at the moment. BTW he release latest omweather with debug mode to check what's wrong, but no clues. Anybody knows how to patch the code? |
Re: N900 forgotten Accuweather
The problem with the shifted forecast still exist today...
Also weather.com doesn't work for my city, only yr.no works but the forecast isn't as accurate and as detailed (by hours) as weather.com Installed the version from extras (I didn't test the ones from testing and devel). Is there a fix to this, or should we live with it like this (sad, as omweather was working really nice on my previous dead N900 some months ago). |
