Yes, it works. Have you already made some free space, because it might be a problem? If it's something else, can you post results of telnet commands?

+1, but you know this Mikka!! Good work!

Anyone would like to make a little how to.?

I'm trying to:

-Get 3 stations to display the weather for 5 days (Ede [728940], Charlotte[12769526] and Farsano[715321])
-Respace the results so they don't overlap
-Show 2 pictures, one for day and one for night automatically (like gdevries).
-Show the moon fase for the three cities

Now i -kinda- know how to edit the script (not totally, so an example script would be nice).
But i don't know how to insert it into the POHD...

I assume i would do it through Telnet (which i know how to access and give simple commands), but i don't know how to edit programming directly in Telnet, or how to insert edited scripts....

Anyone want to write up a little HowTo in this thread, and add a complete example script based on the above case?

I'm sure it would help a lot of users to modify the weather to their wishes!
Thanks In Advance!!

Hello Koets,

Indeed I´am working on something like you mentioned:

achievements so far:

From weather menu you get a next menu whit three pictures representing the area you want to know the weather from, in my case Almere, the beach (Atlantic ocean just above Bordeaux), The mountains (Austria, Hochkönig wintereich). of course you want other info at the beach (maybe water temps) and for Austria in my case snow heights on the skiing piste. This info is not provided by yahoo so I'm looking for another source for the data. (which till now without success). I also still trying to get some music playing during the presentation of the weather whit now success so far.

Anyway as far as my knowledge of moon phase is this one all over the north half off the world equal, actually also for the southern hemisphere it is the same but just the opposite of the northern hemisphere but i am not completely sure about this.

Maybe if you only want to know the weather you can make a first screen whit the current weather data from the three towns you want, and if you select one town you will get the 5 day forecast of this town, just a small idea.

Anyway if I have something worked (hopefully in about a weak) I will post it over here of course.

Greetings,

HEy gdevries, of course you are right about the moon cycle, it is (almost) the same all over the world, be it hours different, and on the left, on the right, laying down, or opposite.

It would be great if you could do this, i think the info for 5 days for 3 cities would just fit on 1 page.
(selecting a city might prove difficult...)

If you work it out, i would be really interested to read it!

(if you want to keep me up to speed of the progress, you can always PM me as well)

PS.
Does your script automatically switch between day and night, for the picture?

Yes, it´s switching now at 20:00 and 7:00 I´m using the wunderground xml weather data for this, this one is providing me the correct (local) time in hours and minutes. Its also has the data for the moon phase which is a number between 1 and 30, so you have to store local the 30 pictures off the moon in different states.

for the moon-phase and different picture during day / night I ad this code between the script_replace tags:



As you can see I also give the textcolor a variable because on a dark image a dark text is hard to see and on a light image a light text.

further on I used the following code to put the background image on the and the location heather:


and for the moon-phase you have to use this code:


To get all the pictures (including moon-phase) you can download the following file:

** sorry my webserver is not allowed me the share files, if you want to have this pictures just sent me a pm **

To copy the code to the playon I have used the following method:

whit windows i have created a map called test on the playon and in this map i have put the file myfavorites.rss

now telnet to your playonhd and use the following code:


The same trick you can do whit the images file which in my case is called weather_images.zip the code you should use is:


Hope I helped you and others a little bid whit this.

If somebody knows how to play sound (music) at a rss feed please share this info!

Greetings,

Wow G. Thnks for this nice HOwTo!!

As soon as i have a spare hour i'm gonna have a go at it!!

Will keep you posted.

Will also ask dev.team about the music!

Groetz!
