I've been trying to install this and get it working with 
mythweather-revamp, but I seem to have fallen at the final hurdle.

When I go into Info Center -> Weather, I just get the "loading... 
mythweather [retrieving weather data]" screen forever.

If I press ESC at this point I go back to the menu, if I press the right 
arrow mythfrontend restarts :-?

Any ideas?




Here is what I've done:

Got the latest mythweather-revamp from SVN, compile and installed just 
the mythweather module on my existing Gentoo build of mythtv 
(media-tv/mythtv-0.20.1_p13344) by following 
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Using_mythweather-reavmp_with_trunk_mythtv. 
  It seems to have gone ok, I can get into the setup screens, add 
screens, etc.

Downloaded weathercomXML.3.pl from 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3337 and saved it into 
/usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts as weahtercomXML.pl (should I have 
removed the "3" ?)

Unzipped the icon files and saved them into 
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/default/

Restarted mythfrontend.

Went into the weather setup screen and added current conditions for 
Swindon, UK.  This found it and said the provider was weathercomxml.

Go into Info Center -> Weather and nothing, just the loading screen.

In the mythfrontend logs I see :

2007-06-10 10:30:43.035 Starting update of weathercomXML
2007-06-10 10:30:43.070 XMLParse::LoadTheme using 
/usr/share/mythtv/themes/default-wide/weather-ui.xml
2007-06-10 10:30:43.201 Current Conditions is in database, but not theme 
file
2007-06-10 10:30:43.346 
/usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts/weathercomXML.pl -u SI -d 
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythWeather/weathercomXML UKXX0147 has exited

Which looks ok, apart from maybe "Current Conditions is in database, but 
not theme file".  I'm using mythcenter-wide as my theme...



Checking in /home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythWeather/weathercomXML I see

robert at mythbox $ ls -l /home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythWeather/weathercomXML
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv video  707 Jun 10 10:17 cc-cache.xml
-rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv video 4884 Jun 10 10:17 fc-cache.xml

I've tried deleting these files, and they get recreated when I go into 
the weather screen.



If I run

/usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts/weathercomXML.pl -u SI -d 
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/MythWeather/weathercomXML UKXX0147

I get

Which looks like I've got some weather data, and it looks about right 
(temp is reasonable anyway).


Any ides what wrong?

Thanks,
Robert.
