All Rainmeter Weather Skins refuse to load

Post by JohnBurns »

Suddenly today, all my Rainmeter weather skins have refused to load. I tried reinstalling Rainmeter but no success in getting weather skins fixed. I restored my pc to earlier this morning and the weather skins worked a short time, then stopped getting weather information. Could anyone point me in the direction to fixing this problem? I use Rainmeter daily, but I like the weather in addition to the time, and date. A screenshot showing the problem is attached. Thanks!

If the weather skins that use TWC as a source do not work try my skins that use Yahoo or Foreca:

weather.com is the source of your skin, probably. But how is named the skin itself? If you right click the skin, you get a context menu. Post its first entry, which is the config of your skin. For instance the config of the skin shown bellow is Mirage\Weather:

isn't it better to have a script that loads a script (maybe on rainmeter.net) that will fix all at once for every one ?
instead of every time fix all scripts with all the same. maybe a idea .... :o
There isn't a script smart enough to automatically "understand" which is a certain field based on various names that the said field can have, the way a human could - not until someone invents a true AI. So, what you want would translate into making the Rainmeter devs building (an updating) a regex for you, because you are not in the mood to do it yourself, LOL. That's something I would never ask the devs to do, although jsmorley made a great effort in providing something along those lines; I mean, they already provide us with Rainmeter itself for free, and to ask them to do all the heavy work for skin developers with regards to an ever changing weather.com (or whatever other site's) format lacks a bit of common sense, in my view. That should be the job of skin developers, just as the job of Rainmeter developers is to provide us with a functional, bug free Rainmeter version - each with his own. I mean, if one is a true skin developer, he surely knows how to modify a regex when the source format changes, right?
