This has been fixed in CumulusMX by Steve. It was non-UTF8 file processing issue.WoodburyMan wrote:It's been so long since I set this up originally. I have been using it for a year or two now. I forgot where the original source for realtime.xml was located so I can download it again. Anyone have a link?
I am having an issue with it with CumulusMX. It may be a character encoding problem. The file is in encoded in ISO-8659-15 correctly. However when Cumulus proceses it, it has problems with the Degree symbol.(°).
Example the line:Should be rendered and shown asCode: Select all
<data realtime="temp"><#temp>°</data>
However, my realtime.xml file shows up asCode: Select all
<data realtime="temp">26.6°</data>
Location of my XML file.Code: Select all
<data realtime="temp">26.6?</data>
http://www.woodburyweather.com/realtime.xml
*EDIT*
I found a work around. In realtime.xml, I changedtoCode: Select all
<data realtime="temp"><#temp>°</data>
and now get this for output.Code: Select all
<data realtime="temp"><#temp><#tempunit></data>
It seems to work correctly. The app now shows the unit which is nice. Might be worth changing in the default realtime.xmlCode: Select all
<data realtime="temp">27.0°F</data>

Re: Weather Station for Android
Only just stumbled across this app & think it's great.
Have it's widget now replacing the WeatherZones 4x2, so have my own data on my opening screen.
Like others in the thread, I had trouble locating realtime.xml & sunbird.txt; they should be easily found in this thread.
Still not getting °C displayed in the app though, & I have tried replacing the ° symbol with <#tempunit> but didn't seem to make any difference.
Can anyone with a better knowledge of the issue help out?
Attached are the 2 templates I'm using, they should work for everyone else, except for the symbol issue.

Re: Weather Station for Android
Correction:-
<#tempunit> is working correctly, just a caching issue.
So the files previously attached below should be fine for anyone wanting to use them.
Cheers.

Re: Weather Station for Android
After a recent update there is a lot of overwriting of the data on the widgets. Update time is hidden under wind speed, solar is only partly visible at the bottom on the large widget, and missing entirely on the small one, as is wind speed.

Re: Weather Station for Android
The Weather Station app was working normal when my Note 8 was running on Android 7.0. However as I have upgraded to Android 8.0 today whenever I will open the app it only loads a blank screen on the start up and crashes after a while. Can you please check and fix it Ales?

I am afraid I am not sure that will happen as the last time Ales logged in was 2012.

Re: Weather Station for Android
The forecast appears to come from Cumulus, and for me it is almost invariably incorrect. Perhaps the data used to determine the forecast works in EU/UK, but it is hopelessly incorrect much of the time here in Oz, so I ignore it, unless I am looking for a laughdazza1223 wrote:... is there a way to change the forcast as it not right...
For example, Cumulus says "stormy, much precipitation" for today, but the reality is that there will be zero rain, and it is mostly sunny with a few cloudy patches.

Have you adjusted the forecast pressure settings in Cumulus for your location? That said this forecast was developed for western seaboards in temperate Northern latitudes, they are a bit of "fun" really.

Re: Weather Station for Android
Hi Mark, I have them set to low 990mb and high 1040mb, which is about the full range I have seen here. I hate to think what would happen if the pressure went outside those limits.... perhaps a forecast: "take cover, imminent asteroid impact!"
>> they are a bit of "fun" really.
My wife and I certainly get a laugh from them sometimes

My extremes are set to 975 and 1040 and the forecasts are usually good. You could try lowering your low limit and see if that makes a difference.

Re: Weather Station for Android
Why does the widget read the average wind intensity and not the actual wind reading of the console? There is a method to make the widget read the real wind speed?
Thank you

Re: Weather Station for Android
It made no difference that I can see, I changed it to 980. I think the parameters used to figure out the forecast just do not work very well in my climate.Ned wrote:You could try lowering your low limit and see if that makes a difference.
