I had a programmer fix the problem. What he found was interesting - and it was improper programming, Jachym. Some of you may ask "well whats the fix". Usually I would provide it, but I had to pay $55 for it to be fixed, so I'm not sharing unless someone wants to give me $25 to share the co...

I just noticed the effect happens changing dates even at 2 seconds, so something is fundamentally flawed.
I will have to hire a coder to fix it, this one is beyond my capabilities, and since Jachym doesnt seem interested, and it's obvious it's not just me.

It would be great if they could be .mp4 videos instead. I know ImageMagick has a built in to PHP plugin, maybe that can be used?
ffmpeg won't work on Windows for any wildcards - ask me how I know

Jachym you have my permission to take my script and integrate it into a block for everyone. Solves 99% of the work
Just keep a line in the credits for me.

I also changed it to 2 seconds a day or two ago, Jachym. Be glad to switch it back if you need it for debugging.

I don't think a Core2 i7700 with 8 cores at 2.8Ghz is a slow PC

I did a quick hack job to the Station Data (stationData) block to show UV data as well - Average and Max. I have not placed Error Handling or checking, so make sure you have a UV sensor and it's logging. You can see the result by clicking on my sig and scrolling to the bottom where the stationData b...

I am the author of the script. It's not that hard to configure - follow the instructions on the thread on WXForum. You don't need to use the SQL script unless your going to be logging it yourself. I have the block and script running on my site. And I do not share Jachym's opinion of the Purpleair se...

Well I'll guess Jachym will need to chime in then.

Exactly, it's a weird issue.
Tom, out of curiosity are you using Chrome?

I have a problem with the Webcam plugin's daily "video" going way too fast, displaying like 3 frames in under a quarter of a second or skipping altogether. I have it set for 1 second intervals per image, and it works sometimes, othertimes not. I have no idea what causes the behavior. Here ...

Guys I posted the fix, it's a cURL issue where the certificates aren't installed by default.
All fixed

I found what the problem is - the latest.txt file that wxSim outputs has more than just the "forecast" text in it. It has tables of what is expected to happen, etc. Basically, extra data the parser does not expect. I threw together a small app that strips everything but the Forecast text o...

I'm not sure if I need to configure something differently, or the plugin can't handle the newer WXSim files.
This is the output I get on the forecast page - the graphs, etc. all display OK.

SS attached.

Just so everyone knows, I created a PHP script that will pull the information and display it for you on your webpage.

In case anyone is interested, since I had to fix this myself, removing the resizeFix function in mobile/menu.js fixed the problem. Whether this breaks something I don't know but my menu now displays and works without closing itself.

The weatherMETAR plugin is broken (METAR Weather in demo). (Getting a little tired of all the broken plugins...c'mon...) Verified on both my system and the demo. The Countries one appears to work fine - but when you do anything in the World one, it just sits spinning. It also can lock up a site temp...

Another broken plugin - the earthquakes plugin. Doesn't return anything, just shows map. I see it works on the demo but won't on my system for some reason... EDIT: This problem deals with cURL - since this script is downloading from a HTTPS site, if the Certificates list is not present (isn't instal...

Okey thanks

I have a question - If I upload every 30 seconds to api.php from my Meteobridge, and the database update is sdheduled every 5 minutes (in api.php), and something changes within 4 min 30 sec, I am basically loosing everything that changed within the 4:30 right? It's only going to populate the databas...

What's wrong with adding just a UV Statistics? Probably easy to adapt the Solar one...

I see the current block supports UV, but other areas of the template do not (Im not talking about the DB itself). I can see the Solar radiation (w/m2), but no UV data in areas like the Statistics. It would be nice to add that stuff to the rest of the template, it's very important for people like me ...

Got some more bugs:

1. stationComparison Plugin:
I have a valid METAR ID of KDVT, and have tried KPHX as well, and get "Data N/A" on the Metar page.
2. forecastComparison Plugin:
No matter what I put into Yahoo! it never works.

Jachym, Don't know what to tell you - I did read the changelog. It breaks at 7.1.12 and later and all 7.2 versions on IIS and I've verified it. Anything before 7.1.12 it works fine. It can't be my machine because I can go back or forth different versions before that one and it works fine, if it was ...

The Station Data Feed plugin only outputs in Celsius - it would be correct to offer it with the option of using C or F in the script or add $GET/POST variables that specifies which to use.

In the US we don't use Celsius, so having to have users convert it on there end gets complaints.
