You would have to contact the plugin author (no idea who it is) to get it fixed. I just checked it on my H7S and it worked fine so it may be a problem with the skin you are using.

I have tried several skins and the error stays. When testing with OpenMultiboot and OpenATV it works, so it must have something to do with OpenViX itself.

works for me Xtrend 10k, Vix 5.4.004, vix-night-HD (1280x720) skin - and seems to work whatever the time setting (menu -> setup -> time -> time style)

It has something to do with the language selection. When I select User Interface -> Language from Suomi (Finland) to English (UK) it works. Maybe some developer can check it ?61295

I think the problem is in this file : \Root\usr\lib\locale\fi_FI\LC_TIME, there is time format %H.%M.%S and in \Root\usr\lib\locale\en_GB\LC_TIME it is %H:%M:%S. How I can edit that file to test ?

.... it's a binary file, I doubt that you can edit it easily.

Those files haven't changed for over 3 years, they'll probably be part of the image build process.

And who knows what might stop working if you did make the change?

Took a while for me to work out that the time style option doesn't show in the simple_1080 skin. :)

I’m not sure that this is the cause as I’ve just changed all the colons in the English/GB and English/English versions with full stops, uploaded the file to my box and have rebooted the box. My version of the Weather plug-in still works without shown a time error message.

However you may want to try with the Finnish file.

Download and install a hex editor such HxD HEX Editor

https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/

MAKE A BACKUP OF THE LC_time file

In Hxd Hex Editor open the LC_time file

From the top menu bar select search
In the search window that appears select the “Hex-values” tab
Search for “2E” (2E = . and 3A = :)
Replace the appropriate 2E with 3A and save the file

You can manually highlight 2E and type 3A or you can use the search/replace menu item.

One window will show the Hex (binary) code AND an ASCII translation which you can identify H:M:S etc.

That should read
2E = a full stop
3A = a colon

The closing bracket turned it into a smiley! Like this :)
Code tags would have resolved the issue ;)

Hello, I made a test by copying LC_TIME file from \Root\usr\lib\locale\en_GB\ to \Root\usr\lib\locale\fi_FI\, but same time format error. So localization is done somewhere else or the error is caused by plugin itself. I give up...

... did you reboot the box after making the change?

I did a few test with replacing the colon in the H:M:S fields with full stops and rebooting after uploading the changed file. It made no difference to my working weather plugin - it still worked indicating the difference in the LC_time files for each language is probably not the cause of the problem.

I managed to get it working by changing some code: \Root\usr\lib\enigma2\python\Plugins\Extensions\We atherPlugin\plugin.pyo --> "%H:%M:%S" to "%H.%M.%S" and "%H:%M",c to "%H.%M",c. Also \Root\usr\lib\enigma2\python\Components\Sources\MS NWeather.pyo --> "%H:%M:%S" to "%H.%M.%S" and "%H:%M",c to "%H.%M",c.

Maybe someone can change the source code by adding OR sentence, for example "%H:%M:%S" OR "%H.%M.%S" Is that possible ?

The source is here....


https://github.com/oe-alliance/enigma2-plugins/tree/master/weatherplugin

In theory, all you need to do is edit the plugin.py source file, put it into /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/weatherplugin/ and reboot the gui.

Rename the original plugin.pyo file to plugin.pyo.orig in case the new version fails.

MSNWeather.pyo must be edited too to have observationtime working in Skin, otherwise you get n/a -error.
