Our weather feed slide is not working.
Our weather feed slide is not working.
The #outlook# variable does however.
It was suggested that we should choose another county that our feed may be down. We chose a few others with the same result.
Can someone help us with this? What are the standard variable names and formats for temperature and wind?
Thanks ahead of time.

Inappropriate?Something is broke somewhere. I'm having the same issue - http://getsatisfaction.com/trms/topic...
I’m wondering if Friday will ever be here!

Inappropriate?Same problem in Manatee County, Florida. Tried other counties.
Other RSS feeds working fine. -
Inappropriate?Hello,
Obviously there is something is going on with the weather bulletins. However, we have not been able to recreate this behavior in-house. It would be very helpful if you could send us some of your weather data. The first thing we need to determine is the GUID of your weather bulletin. If you mouse over the Preview on the bulletin you will notice there is something like "Type=Page&ID=3660a74f-2076-4d50-8108-59943e4aa560" at the bottom of your browser, which is the GUID.

Then navigate to \TRMS\Web\Carousel\Media\Pages and locate the file with the same GUID.

Once you have located the folder with the same GUID, please zip the file and email it to bugs@trms.com.
Are you seeing this behavior intermittently and if so, how frequently?
Thank you!
I’m digging for data
-
Inappropriate?on vacation sorry, but we are seeing these permanently
-
Inappropriate?What state and region are you pulling data for in your weather bulletin?
-
as I said in my comment
Manatee County, Florida -
Sorry, Phil that was directed at mkoening. Phil would you be willing to email me your weather data (directions outlined in this string)? Is this an intermittent problem for you and if so how frequently does it occur? -
Inappropriate?Here is the text at the bottom of the web browser when I hover over the preview:
Type=Page&ID=ae0115c9-06b3-4066-8a20-05d3dd473e28&FullSize=false&height=6
However, when I go try going here: "Then navigate to \TRMS\Web\Carousel\Media\Pages and locate the file with the same GUID."
I only see
\TRMS\ CarouselDisplayEngine
or
\TRMS\Tools
no web folder. Am I looking in the right place?
Thanks,
Eric -
Inappropriate?Hello Eric,
I think you are looking on your Player for the Web folder and you need to find it on your server. I really should have specified that! Thanks for grabbing this information for me! -
Inappropriate?Aah! That sheds some light. Let me see what I can find.
-
Inappropriate?Same problem in Brattleboro, Vermont. I think the weather feed is for Windham County. It's been Rainy for days now while the sun shines!
-
Inappropriate?Zip file sent
-
Thank's Eric! We'll take a look and let you know what we find. -
Inappropriate?Here is the link from my weather bulletin preview. I don't see the Web folder anywhere on my server, either. What tab should I be looking under?

Hello Cor,
Click on 'Explore' from the Windows Start Menu on your Carousel server and navigate to the TRMS folder which contains the Web folder. If you cannot locate the Web folder you are searching on a Player versus a server. -
Inappropriate?Hi Jennifer, I got onto the server and found the page, but I don't know how to zip it. The computer only runs the server, so there are not a lot of programs on it (do I need a zip program?)
Does this help?

If you have Windows installed on the server, you should be able to right click on the folder and "Send To", "Compressed (zipped) folder". If you are unable to zip and send that data, don't worry about it. We have had a great response to our request! I really appreciate your willingness to help! :-) -
Inappropriate?Thanks for instructions. I just emailed the zip file to bugs@trms.com. I'll wait to see what happens.
Cor T. -
Thank you Cor! We will keep you updated! -
Inappropriate?For some reason the current weather conditions do not seem to be updating. I think it has been going on for about a week.
I have tried the following:
*Choose a different area (I tried other counties here in Indiana and even tried Florida). All display 46 degrees with calm winds.
*Stopped and restarted Carousel.
*Restarted server.
*Copied slide.
*Checked with our network guy to make sure that port 21 was open.
No matter what I did the conditions would not change. Here is the channel (looks a little screwed up since it is an 800x75 zone): http://frontdoor.cps.k12.in.us/Carous...
Any ideas?

Current weather conditions not updating.
I’m happy that it is Thursday!
-
Inappropriate?If this is happening accross multiple systems, mulitiple couties/cities, and has just "recently" happened im guessing that there has been a change in the feeds provided for the weather, not the many systems. Ill wait untill Tightrope figures this out, and then we'll make our changes.
-
Inappropriate?Weather slide still not updating in Brattleboro - it changed once after I sent the zipped file, but now it's stuck again. Is there any further progress finding a solution to this?
Cor Trowbridge -
We are making some great headway on this issue! Just hang in there a little longer, the wait will be worth it! -
I've been actively working on replacing the data feeds for the past several days... It's my number 1 priority right now. There's still a fair amount of work left to go, but rest assured, we're on it. I'll post again when we have a better idea of when a solution will be available. Thanks everyone for your patience! --John -
Inappropriate?I'm looking for an update on this - our weather slide has now not been working since early June, first reported to TRMS on June 9. It's getting more than embarrassing at this point. Should I create an official trouble ticket? It's been 2 weeks since you posted about it. Thanks
Cor Trowbridge (almost at frowny face level) -
Sorry that this is taking a while, but we're doing a major renovation of how weather works in Carousel. It's not a quick fix, unfortunately. I've finished a majority of the implementation so far, now we need to run it through test to make sure it holds up in the field. Again, we'll be sure to update this thread as soon as we are confident in a release date. --John -
Inappropriate?You have an eta by chance?
-
Inappropriate?Hello mkoenig,
Our target release date is the week of 6/29/09. I will let you know as soon as it is released.
Thank you for being patient; I know that you will be pleased with the changes that we have made! -
Inappropriate?Hello, Its the 30th? Just curious if you have a new target deadline?
Thanks -
We are still on target to meet our goal of releasing this week. I will notify you when it is released. -
Inappropriate?Thanks bossman was asking :)
-
I completely understand and I'll keep in you in the loop. :-) -
