I know this seems like a dead subject, but it is not.

Here is the latest E-mails as of today (10/24/09):
I hope all is well. I just want to give you a quick update on the server requests. We have not seen a drop in request, actually there has been a slight increase. Anything you can do to help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
After reviewing the numbers today, I noticed that there were 0 page views from Rainmeter. At this time we have no reason to continue the relationship. If I do not hear from you by Friday the feed will be disabled.

Best regards,
So you folks may draw your own conclusion as to what will happen.
I have sent along a very nice thanks, and apology that this union did not work, and I have officially washed my hands of AccuWeather.

So prepare appropriately...I know many of us have ;)

Well... Perhaps start to think about creating a new weather feed then.
There's no reason for not having two sites so... Heh. Will run it till it breaks. And see whenever that happnes.
I don't think, therefore I'm not.

Well, that's why we switched to Yahoo for the defaults. It won't be an issue when AccuWeather finally goes down... if anything, I'll be grateful for another reason to push the update.

Well, Friday has arrived. :(
My weather skin doesn't seem to work anymore.
But when I check the link, everything's in it's place.

Did AccuWeather simply do a UserAgent-Ban?
If yes, is it possible you change RM's UserAgent? :p

Edit: After 5 minutes of loading time, the data is displayed correctly! :D
Forget the other questions :D
My only question now is: What do I have to enter?

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Author=SamusAranFreak
Update=100000

...

[mWeather]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
UpdateRate=1000
What would be the right values to let the skin update every 20 minutes?

[Rainmeter]
Author=SamusAranFreak
Update=1000 <------------ this is the default
...

[mWeather]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll
UpdateRate=900  means 15 min so 1 min = updaterate 60 then we shall have 60*20=1200
