With the Yahoo updates and current sWeather release (1.6.3b1) even the 10 day forecast is working fine now from my work-location. :Thmbsup:

The old API seems to have died completely for my work-location, not even the current weather is shown. :down:

New API seems to work well this morning - in fact for the last day I've been having problems with the old one and only just noticed your message. Hoorah!

Yep, it looks like Yahoo! have completely killed access to the old API so I've uploaded a new build makes the new API the default.  I'll leave the API option switch in for the time being but will probably take it out in a future release (unless Yahoo! bring back access to the old API -- yeah, right).  That said, the performance of the new API has remained very good for me for the past week or so.

This 1.5.9. build 1 doesn't work correctly on Windows 7. For example : shows - 12 *C --> Feels like +15*C . Also, errors- no choice to choose metric temperature and hPa - instead, shows mie in mBa. I sent you e-mail long 2 weeks ago or so, still no answer.

I have the latest version of sweather 1.6.5.1 and it has stopped working since a week or so ago.
I no longer get any data and everything is n/a. Also when I try a refresh, sweather more or less
hangs and takes a long time to recover, but still no data. I don't see any error msgs from sweather
either. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?

sWeather seems to be working for me.  Anybody else having issues?

A couple of things:

1) Are you positive you're running 1.6.5.1?
2) Do you get N/A for all locations?

Still shows (example) : + 3*C Feels like +32*C  <-- what the stupidity.  Use Metric option doesn't show atmospheric pressure in proper way. (Windows 7). Before your update it was O'K.

Which version of sWeather are you using?  Go to Help > About in the menu.

2) Do you get N/A for all locations?

filever on the exe file shows 1.6.5.1
N/A for all locations.

I'm in Germany and I see sweather accessing 98.137.200.255:443, but nothing happens and eventually times out. I'm also running Win7-32bit. Sweather worked fine for a while in the beginning after upgrading, but now it's more or less dead. I also tried without ssl in the options and sweather wentt to 188.125.93.100:80, but still no data

Another thing is if I try to access the GUI before sweather is finished trying to get data, the GUI won't show until the timeout occurrs and then I get the the GUI below. None of the buttons will work.

I have not been able to download a viable zip file from http://skwire.dcmemb...om/fp/?page=sweather. I have been trying for the last 2 days.

could be that the download is saved in the browser cache, so you keep getting the same corrupted download.
Try with a different browser, or try clearing the cache.

Thanks.
Of course I tried all that before I posted:)
Still unable to get it.

I downloaded the latest edition of SWeather.zip v1.6.5 build 1 but it doesn't have the "add" option.

Hi, Mal, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

I downloaded the latest edition of SWeather.zip v1.6.5 build 1 but it doesn't have the "add" option.

The "add" what option?  If you mean adding a new location, do a search, and double-click the location you want to add.

Thank you.

Yes, adding a location. The only options I see is Edit, Delete, Up, Down.

I'm working on Window 7 64 bit. Would that be a problem?

sorry if not clear, the '^' meant I was responding to previous post, i.e. to you.
Once you've opened the configure dialogue, as skwire says:
"do a search, and double-click the location you want to add"

Oh, I get it. I thought I need the 'add' option to add a location. I went to the 'Lookup' option and typed in a city and it automatically listed all the cities in the world with this name and then selected it and don't even need the 'add' option. Wow! Lovely program. Thanks so much for your help.

No worries, I can see how you the interface would be a bit confusing.  I'll find some time to integrate an add button.

You're very welcome and thanks for your kind words.  Also, cheers to all who jump in on these threads to help me out.  =]

I searched online how to use it and found some sites mentioning an "add" option above "edit". Because this option was missing, I mistakenly assumed that it doesn't work on my computer. But now everything is working fine and it's really a beautiful program. Thank you very much and good luck.

Hi, I really love sweather. I had been using Mike Singer's 'Weather Watcher' for many years, but now that the older version no longer functions and the latest version requires is subscription model based, I was looking for an alternative.

I have one question please. v1.6.5.1.

See screenshot, I have the Refresh Time set to 15 min. I would expect the 'Updated:' to reflect a time within the last 15 minutes, but I am not seeing this. 'Updated' is showing a value over an hour old.

Thank you.sweather1.pngRelease: sWeather (tray-based weather app)
