I don't have a "Favorites" folder for either VOD or series.

When I press the "TV" button, a yellow star is displayed. It stays that way.

No other errors are detected. No crashes.

I'm using Xstreamity and XKlass on my DUO4KSE box.

I create the same directory for the iptvepg directory for both Xstreamity and XKlass:

/etc/enigma2/iptvepg/

or

/media/hdd/iptvepg/

Result:

It's sufficient to load the EPG only via Xstreamity.

The EPG is then automatically used by XKlass as well.

Hello ammarbary,

I have already asked this before.

Will there be support for the VTi image with Python 2.7 in version 2.5?

It also didn’t work with version 2.2.

With version 1.12, „alert“ values are now read and processed.

Each city can provide different weather warnings.

The following data sources are new:

alert_headline

alert_description

alert_event

The data source:

description

already existed in version 1.11.

These data sources must be integrated into forecast.xml in order to be displayed.

In the Image:

1. description:

Similar temperatures will continue, with rain possible on Thursday and snow possible on Friday.

2. alert_headline:

Official WARNING of FROST

3. alert_description:

Light frost is expected, with temperatures between 0 °C and −3 °C.

4. alert_event:

Not shown in the image.

For location:

Berlin, DE

For the key:

- Create apikey.txt

- Enter the key

- Copy apikey.txt to: /etc/enigma2/VisualWeather

- Start the GUI

Quote from KiddaC

Finally got to watch a film last night.

Went into VOD. Sorted A-Z. Choose film. Return to lists. Sort order isn't remembered.
How long has that been broke. Doh!

This is a problem when you code all the time, you never actually get time to use your plugins.

I tried it. Same problem with XKlass.

Hello KiddaC,

is there a way to display the warnings (“alerts”) contained in data.json in the XML skin of VisualWeather?

For example:

• "description": "Similar temperatures persist"

• "headline": "Official FROST WARNING"

• "event": "FROST"

I tried to implement this using forecast.py, but unfortunately without success.

Thank you

Will there be a possibility for the plugin to also work with the VTI image?

Currently, the plugin does not work with DVB and IPTV. An ‘ERR stream’ message appears in the top left corner.

Thank you for your efforts

BOX: Duo4K SE

Dear KiddaC,

I wish you and everyone a Merry Christmas and peaceful holidays! May your Christmas be filled with joy, wonderful moments, and cozy hours spent with your loved ones.

VTi works very well. No problems. I don't load any series with BMX. I loaded a few for testing. No problems.

I just recorded with Xstreamity.

The VOD file extension is *.mp4.

Example for a custom weather skin

Example: “myskin”

1.Copy the folder “myskin” to:

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Extension/VisualWeather/Skins

2.Copy the files key_green-1080.png and key_red-1080.png to:

/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Extension/VisualWeather/visual-gfx

3.Enable the skin developer mode

(this is the last option in the weather settings).

4.In the weather settings, select the skin → choose “myskin”.

5.Save with the green button.

6.Restart the GUI (optional, usually not necessary).

You can also configure the info bar to show the “Compact Widget” or the “Full Width Widget”.

Hello KiddaC,

Thank you for the great plugin.

I hope you don’t mind that your plugin has been adapted for Python 2.7 and will continue to be developed further.

Report with VTI and BMX 1.63 (Experimental)

-Bouquets OK

-VOD OK

-Series: „failed get.php“ and aborted.

Series were not created

Here is a similar one from infobarcompact.xml

Thanks for your efforts.

All three plugins now display Backdrop.

Translation for German

Your suggestion for Python 2.7 was indeed correct:

pythonFull = float(str(sys.version_info[0]) + "." + str(sys.version_info[1]))

pythonVer = sys.version_info[0]

Respectfully

Okay, I'll change it.

It works perfectly for me. When I start the GUI or restart, Infobar is immediately available.

Hello KiddaC,

VisualWeather doesn’t work with the VTI image.

Nothing was displayed on the Infobar or Secondinfobar. I tried it with different skins.

However, I was able to modify your plugin.py for Python 2.7 so that it now works with VTI as well.

I hope you don’t mind that I’m making this plugin.py available here.

If you have the time and interest, maybe you could extend VisualWeather to support Python 2.7.

Thank you for the plugin. It’s really great.

Thanks.

It seems to be something to do with my box skin, with the SecondInfoBar and InfoBar together..
