Has Anyone Ever Made Xradar Work ?
« on: July 08, 2005, 02:19:00 PM »

ok. here is a link on the weather channel where supposedly zradar gets its radar info from. and it shows my zipcode region radar.
http://www.weather.com/weather/map/52403

now  try putting in 52403 into xradar or any combination of that and you will get nothing.
infact i have NEVER EVER gotten xradar to get radar for any zipcode i have ever tried

you cant tell me that this thing is stilllll included in xbmc and broken

would be nice if it worked...

anyone wanna throw me a bone here ?

Have you made these changes ?

QUOTE
Change
   count = (count + 1) % 6
to
   count = (count + 1) % 5

Change
   self.RadarPic = self.guiMaker.makePic(RadarLoc[0], RadarLoc[1], 563, 380, os.path.join(TempDir, "5.jpg"))
to
   self.RadarPic = self.guiMaker.makePic(RadarLoc[0], RadarLoc[1], 563, 380, os.path.join(TempDir, "4.jpg"))

Change
    for i in range(6):
to
    for i in range(5):

Change
    if self.ready and self.looping and not count == 5:

In what file should these changes be made in?  I'm ftp-ing using a Mac so none of the files are readable.  I could borrow a pc though.

The changes are made to "XRadar.py".

EDIT: It's just a text file.

If you are using ICS just right click your INTERNET connection icon in the system tray of your computer and then select status.  After that click the DETAILS tab and get the DSN number (e.i 192.168.1.1 is mine).  Then go into the Network settings of XBMC and put that number in the DSN.  Should work just fine then. beerchug.gif

DSN...huh?  DNS maybe?  Does anyone currently have use of this script?  I'll bet the weather channel has changed their site around a bit and this slightly aged script just doesn't know where to look any more.

I opened the .py file in text editor, made the changes posted above, saved it and replaced the old one with it.  Now it works without a hitch!
