I'm using the Simple Media skin. Tried getting it to work but couldn't.
Can anyone help?

I think Yahoo weather is not working. Might want to try a different weather skin.

Try this instead:

Code: Select all

Url=http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#Unit#&dayf=3&locale

and replace #Location# With your location's code and #Unit# with either "m" for Celsius or "f" for fahrenheit
(You may find your location's code at https://weather.codes)

Try this instead:

Code: Select all

Url=http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#Unit#&dayf=3&locale

and replace #Location# With your location's code and #Unit# with either "m" for Celsius or "f" for fahrenheit
(You may find your location's code at https://weather.codes)

Actually that's not enough, because if you change the URL, the RegExp also should be changed. So, with the URL indicated by kyriakos876, try the following RegExp option:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWeatherRSS]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
UpdateRate=1800
Url=http://wxdata.weather.com/wxdata/weather/local/#Location#?cc=*&unit=#Unit#&dayf=3&locale
RegExp=(?siU)<weather ver="(.*)">.*<dnam>(.*)</dnam>.*<lat>(.*)</lat>.*<lon>(.*)</lon>.*<sunr>(.*)</sunr>.*<suns>(.*)</suns>.*<zone>(.*)</zone>.*<tmp>(.*)</tmp>.*<flik>(.*)</flik>.*<t>(.*)</t>.*<icon>(.*)</icon>.*<moon>.*<icon>(.*)</icon>.*<t>(.*)</t>.*</moon>.*t="(.*)" dt="(.*)">.*<hi>(.*)</hi>.*<low>(.*)</low>.*<icon>(.*)</icon>.*<t>(.*)</t>.*t="(.*)" dt="(.*)">.*<hi>(.*)</hi>.*<low>(.*)</low>.*<icon>(.*)</icon>.*<t>(.*)</t>.*t="(.*)" dt="(.*)">.*<hi>(.*)</hi>.*<low>(.*)</low>.*<icon>(.*)</icon>.*<t>(.*)</t>
StringIndex=1

Also you should use other StringIndex options, on the child WebParser measures:

Code: Select all

[MeasureWeatherDesc]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=[MeasureWeatherRSS]
StringIndex=10

[MeasureWeatherTemp]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=[MeasureWeatherRSS]
StringIndex=8

Note that I also replaced the Plugin=Plugins\WebParser.dll options with the shorter Plugin=WebParser, which is completely enough. The longer form was used with many years ago, but now it isn't needed any more.

Also note that kyriakos876 is wrong about the values used for Unit. They should be indeed m for Celsius (meaning metric), but for Fahrenheit should be used not f (as many users think), but i (meaning imperial). The only reason why with f, the skin is still working and returns the temperatures in Fahrenheit is that for any not valid value (other than m or i), the default value is used, which is i.

Yup It worked thanks everyone

You're welcome, if we could help.

Simple Clean by HipHopium uses the old WXData which was removed by TWC in January 2020.
The original author no longer supports these skins, but they can be modified to work with the information in the links posted by balala above.
Your only other option is to find a similar weather skin; look here for updated weather skins. Then search the net for recently created weather skins that may work.
