Re: MyForecast Script

^ I assumed it was because MyForecast has a different weather description style than Accuweather.

That's why I always use English.
I know all the phrases well, even though my English is bad.  big_smile

Re: MyForecast Script

Hello

As usual, your script works a treat. As for the translation, I’m adding this, and then at some point I’ll have them all .

##### traduction moi forecast #######

Re: MyForecast Script

Why MyForecast?

There are two main reasons:

  • Redirect to the nearest airport

  • Rare update

My location is not redirected to the airport, but is updated every three hours.
This is happening to me:

Re: MyForecast Script

Hourly Images Bug

When the hourly forecast shows images after midnight, the image for tomorrow's daily forecast appears.

The bug has been fixed.
This is what that part of the myforecast script should look like:

#### HOURLY FORECAST

## Images
cat $HOME/MyForecast/hourly/hourly_raw | grep 'src="assets/img/icons/' | sed -n '2,10p' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/<td> <img src="assets\/img\/icons\///' -e 's/<img src="assets\/img\/icons\///' -e 's/" style="width:30px;"\/><\/td>//' -e '/36px/d'| sed 's/\(.png\).*/\1/' > $HOME/MyForecast/hourly/images

Re: MyForecast Script

Testing MyForecast Conky (Improvements)

Testing is the only way to improve something or remove bugs.
Two interesting things happened tonight.


Missing image for current weather conditions

I easily found the reason when I looked at the "now" file (line 1).

now.png

There is no such image (cw_no_report_icon.png) inside the myforecast-icons folder.
I remembered that the tad-icons folder contains the corresponding image (wt-36.png)

Here you can download 36.png image:
https://i.postimg.cc/vHDjQ10h/36.png

36.png

Just Copy/Paste into the myforecast-icons.

Now you need to change the  myforecast  script.
This part should look like this:

#### NOW FORECAST

## Image
cat $HOME/MyForecast/weather_raw | grep 'src="assets/img/icons' | sed -n '1p' | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/<img src="assets\/img\/icons\///' -e 's/"//' | awk '{print $1}' | sed 's/cw_no_report_icon/36/' > $HOME/MyForecast/now

This is how it looks in Conky:

not-available.png


No Wind (Calm)

I expected that to happen, but I didn't know what it looked like on the website.

site.png  mf-conky.png

As you can see, the wind speed is 0 km/h, but the wind direction (N) is still shown.

I decided to play around a bit with the  myforecast  script and try to display everything in Conky the way we're used to.
This part should look like this:

## Wind Icon
ws=$(sed -n '6p' $HOME/MyForecast/now | sed 's/ .*//')
wd=$(cat $HOME/MyForecast/weather_raw | grep '<sup>' | sed -n '1p' | sed 's/.*<sup>/<sup>/' | sed 's/<\/sup>.*//' | sed 's/<sup>//')
                        
  if [[ "$ws" == "0" ]]; then
  
      cp $HOME/MyForecast/wind/CLM.png $HOME/MyForecast/wind_0.png
      
      sed -i '5d' $HOME/MyForecast/now
      
      sed -i "5s/^/N\/A\n/" $HOME/MyForecast/now
      
      sed -i '6d' $HOME/MyForecast/now
      
      sed -i "6s/^/Calm\n/" $HOME/MyForecast/now

        else
    
           cp $HOME/MyForecast/wind/$wd.png $HOME/MyForecast/wind_0.png
      
  fi

From the  myforecast script  I modified the "now" file to get what I want.
I won't go into details, it's best to see the result because a picture speaks louder than words:

mf-calm.png

Enjoy.  smile

P.S.
Testing continues.

If special cases arise, take a screenshot and display the contents of the corresponding file (now, phrase, images...).

P.S.
I visited my location on the TAD website and everything is the same except for the NOW section which is not updated (as always).  big_smile

Re: MyForecast Script

@marens

I emailed MyForecast about the geoblocking, and they have sorted it out.  Apparently they were having some attacks from my location and so had blocked it temporarily.  I've now tested your script (amended to my location) with your test conky and it works just fine.

When I have more time I'll convert my own TAD conkies to use the mf script, as your recent fixes to the TAD script just don't work for me.

Re: MyForecast Script

^ Yes.
I'm glad you joined us.

The TAD website uses MyForecast as its main source.
Everything is the same except that updates are regular and there is no longer a redirection to the nearest airport.

You probably won't have to do that.
It looks like you'll be able to choose which conky/script to use.

Re: MyForecast Script

MyForecast Icons

The original mf-icons look great.

I think the moon icon 13.png (Clear) is too big and moved up.
mf1.png

I made it smaller and better centered using Inkscape.
Then I checked how it looks in conky.

Note *
The icon  hourly_3.png  (03:00) has been simulated to examine the alignment

mf2.png

If you like it, you can download the new icon 13.png here:
https://i.postimg.cc/ZnjXPCM9/13.png

Rename the old icon 13.png to 13_orig.png, then just copy/paste the new one into the  myforecast-icons  folder.
