I was not prompt by the installed for my postal code.

1) My postal code is Canadian (montreal QC)
2) The output of the command return me ">"
3) Digital Cable
4) New Install.


Not the subject of this thread but , I have another "bug". In Channel Editor. In R5A16, I didn't need to scan channels to get all my channels. It got them from zap2it account and all my channels were there and were correctly called.

EDIT : In R5A22, I had to scan for channels, and all i got the .. Channel 1, Channel 2 etc... I have to rename them by myself.


I have MythWeather working now. Changing to my canadian postal code didn't work. So I changed it to an US zip code, restarted and it worked. I didn't try to change it to my postal code. I'm gonna try tonight.

If the output really was a blank line followed by a minus, then I know what the bug is. I'll work on it. Thanks for the input!

I had the same - blank line and a -

I had to reinstall my KnoppMyth but before reinstalling I checked what was the value of the "data" field. I wrote it on the sheet of paper. (it was something like CA0XX030).

After a fresh install, the timeout bug came back. I looked at the value of the "data" field again. It was: "X". (I just had to update the value with one I wrote to make it work as before).

I don't know if it can help to find the bug, but I hope it can!

My zip code is in correctly, but still can't get the weatherbut what is that line 3 and 4 for? Where does that come into play? Is that another database search?

Anyway, still no go for me...

rkhanso :
Try to find the weather code for your city. (or give me your city, I can try to find it). Update the value of the data field with this code.

One other thing,


I don't know if it matters, but my hostname is "mythtv" no "pvr"

Where would I find a weather code for Minnetonka, MN? Zip is 55345

I think when I set up KnoppMyth, I changed the hostname to "PVR" on recommendation of a forum post somewhere - changing the hostname helped discern log messages with mythtv, myth and makes it easier to sort through logs, from what I remember.... Did that make sense?

rkhanso : try this code USMN0507, this is the code for your city.



I did this for my box and it did work perfectly.

To be honest, I don't know if changing hostname can make a problem. If my trick doesn't work, you should return to original hostname.

zetoune,

Thanks - that fixed my weather:
USMN0507
is correct and it now works great.

No need to change the hostname, either.

I am unable to retrieve weather data. I assume it is the same problem as above, my postal code is wrong in the mysql database. I have tried the fixes as shown here, but I don't really know what I am doing.
How do I know if I have made the changes correctly, without trying the weather again? Can I view them from the command line.

I am in Torbay Canada, so I have a 6 digit postal code with a space in the middle, not a zip code, how do I enter, with or without the space? I have also tried using my city weather code which I think is CAXX0503. mysql reports chanhes 1 warnings 0, but still no weather data.

I am a Linux newb, so I would appriciate as much detail as possible in your responce, Thanks.

Cheers
Tom.

When the source is open, the possibilities are endless!

When I try to go into Weather settings I still get the popup "Myth was unable to retrieve your weather data..." I can say ok to try agai with a longer time out or cancel to exit back to the main setup page. I can't access the options behing the popup. (ther is a location button there but I can't access it because it is behing the popup)

Cheers.

The problem is that your location is incorrect. What you need to do is run the SQL command as above to set it to anything valid (eg one of the codes mentioned above). Then you will be able to go into weather settings and choose the correct code.
