Re: xAP Weather Install

[alanmiddleton74]

I got the same when I tried id=3681 - I suspect it happens when the
weather reported is something that the programmer wasn't expecting,
ie
if sunny
show sunny icon
else if rainy
show rainy icon
else
show dunno

I suspect that this is a temporary glitch since whatever the weather
in sevenoaks (3681) is coming back with today hasn't been catered for
in the program. Tomorrow it will probably work fine. Unless there is
a full documented list of weather states (or whatever is driving the
icon) from the bbc then this may happen without it being a bug as
such just an unknown state. Possibly after x weeks and reports of
problems all possibly cases will have been documented.

Try id=3799 , which I think is Egham and see what comes back. I get
the icon cloudy3 atm.

Again still wearing my xap novice hat and no slights intended to the
original programmer or anyone involved in xap :)

Kind Regards

Alan.
