I cant set the default location for weather using R5A22. Anyone else having this problem? Cant even see what the weather is doing in Irvine, CA - get a connection timeout problem...

If you are using zap2it in the USA the weather should be set automagically from your zipcode info for zap2it.

I have the same problem too, I'm from the US and Zap2it works fine. I keep getting a timeout and I can't change the level of agressiveness for the timeout. Is there a way to do it from the command line? At first I thought it was a DNS issue, but I can resolve to weather.com. does it get weather from somwhere else?

I have always used zap2it, and it has never set my weather automatically, even when it was all working...

I had the same issue, I corrected it by doing the following.

Start up a terminal window login as root at the command line type

mysql <enter>
use mythconverg; <enter>
Update settings Set settings.data='type in your zip code' Where settings.value='locale'; <enter>

Suds45, that fixed it - thanks

snagging the zip from zap2it to setup mythweather is new in R5A22

that worked for me too! Thanks for the fix!!!

This also broke the mythweather on mine. My zip code appears as ",78746".

Then I tried the suggestion on this thread and my frontend won't start. I guess the command was a little confusing. Can someone explain this mysql set on commands again?

Thanks!!!

mysql <enter> This puts you into MySQL
use mythconverg; <enter> this tells MySQL to use the mythtv database
Update settings Set settings.data='type in your zip code' Where settings.value='locale'; <enter> This updates a table that holds all the settings for mythtv, the only thing you change here is 'type your zip code' - leave the rest alone

Thanks guys!!

That did it!

Hi guys,
It did not work for me. I live in Canada. I tried to change my postal code, but I still get the timeout error from MythWeather.

Maybe it only works with US zip code.

If you ran into trouble with MythWeather's locale in R5A22 and were not prompted by the installer for your zipcode, please let me know the following:

1) Your actual zipcode (or NA if you aren't in the US)
2) The output of this command, run as root (beware of line wrap):
3) The type of listing you have in your zap2it account (e.g. broadcast, analog cable, digital cable, satellite, etc.)
4) If you installed or upgraded.

If I get this information, I can work on a fix.

I don't really remember if I was prompted or not, but mine isn't working either, so here's the information


1) zip code: 48180

2)output

yeah nothing really came up, so went in webmin and did a query

and got

value=locale
data =48180
hostname = mythtv

(like for most other people, changing that mess of characters to my zipcode fixed the problem)

3)type of listing: analog cable

4)installed

Hope the information helps
