[mythtv-users] Problems with mythweather

[Jeremy Young]

ah... the scripts in /usr/share/mythtv/mythweather/scripts/us_nws do not appear to work. The other retrieval scripts will at least give me a version, but the national weather service scripts are missing a necessary perl dependency. This is news to me. I had tried the other ones previously, and they seem to work.

So, it appears the mythweather 0.21 package for archlinux is missing some dependencies.

I'll work on this this week if I get a chance. Thanks everyone.

Interesting... MythWeather should re-create all of the tables for you
and re-create the WeatherDBSchemaVer value in the 'settings' table.

Make sure that all your grabber scripts are working properly.  You can
test them by running them manually as the user mythfrontend usually
runs under.  If you get no errors, proceed to reset the DB tables
again.

Just as a re-cap, to completely reset the MythWeather table structure,
do this (assuming default DB user/password):

$ mysql -u mythtv -pmythtv mythconverg
mysql> delete from settings where value='WeatherDBSchemaVer';
mysql> drop table weatherdatalayout;
mysql> drop table weatherscreens;
mysql> drop table weathersourcesettings;

After this, restart the mythfrontend process and open the Weather
settings page.  The plugin will rebuild the DB tables and you should
be able to add screens.  For information on how to search for
locations, refer to the wiki page
