Re: Toon app: Buienradar
If you want to use Buienradar 8.0.8 or higher on 3.x firmware please make the following modification to BuienradarEditLonLatScreen.qml:
Delete the following line (3 times):
leftTextAvailableWidth: 170
This will do for now.
In the next version I will make buienradar work seamlessly on both old and new firmwares.

Re: Toon app: Buienradar
Tried Buienradar app from the toonstore. Only thing you can change is the Weatherstation, too bad for Diemen not available so i tried Amsterdam. no parameter is given, no rain no temperature, nothing only a ! in the "tegel"
Re: Toon app: Buienradar
not all available weather stations can be selected via the screens but you can add your preferred weather station manually.walberg wrote:Tried Buienradar app from the toonstore.

Open with your browser xml.buienradar.nl.
Find the row "<stationcode>xxxx</stationcode>" for the station closest to you.
Enter the 4 digit stationcode in the file selectedStation.txt in the buienradar folder on Toon and reboot the gui.
I probably should remove the gui screens to select the weatherstations because these are not maintained and take possible values from the actual buienradar xml file. Something for the next version.

Re: Toon app: Buienradar
File 'selectedStation.txt' should be in /qmf/qml/apps/buienradar or HCBv2/qml/apps/buienradar.walberg wrote:In wchich directory do i find selectedStation.txt?

This file is created when you select a weather station via the buienradar screens but you can also create it manually with an editor (filename is case sensitive).
The gui can be restarted via the console with: 'killall qt-gui'

Re: Toon app: Buienradar
I saw on the buienradar.xml that Schiphol was the only one for this region (Diemen is about 20 km from Schiphol) So after install Buienradar i choose Schiphol and i think when try to choose Amsterdam on the screen, it is empty. Too bad there are less stations on Buienradar. But now it worked.
Re: Toon app: Buienradar
Hi all,
Buienradar 8.2.0 is available on ToonStore.
Changelog: I simplified the weather station selection screen to show all available stations in the buienradar xml file.
Previous versions used the maps of NL and provinces to select the weather station (as in the original Quby app).
However, not all available weather stations could be selected via these maps and some non-existing stations could still be selected.
This solution looks 'less nice' but does give you all actual options from buienradar.
N.B. Not all available weatherstations provide a full set of data, nothing wrong with the app but with the data feed.
You can always check this by looking at xml.buienradar.nl yourself to see what data is actually provided for that particular station

Re: Toon app: Buienradar
Still a few comments about this new version: leftTextAvailableWidth: 170 is in the latest version. Rather, it was indicated for the Os versions below the 4 to remove this rule. At this moment, I do not notice anything apart from the previous version of which I removed the rules leftTextAvailableWidth: 170 .
I saw that the from the old version one file is kept (SelectedStations.txt). But that will be well done.

Re: Toon app: Buienradar
leftTextAvailableWidth doesn't need to be removed anymore as the component which introduced it is now included in this app (EditTextLabel4421.qml) specifically which is a copy of EditTextlabel.qml from version 4.4.21. By including this one it works on older firmwares as well.walberg wrote:Still a few comments about this new version: leftTextAvailableWidth: 170 is in the latest version.

The only change compared to the previous version is the weather station selection screen, now allowing you to select from all weather stations available in the xml file.
N.B you can always look at the changelog by pressing the "?' button in the ToonStore for that application (before or after installation).

Re: Toon app: Buienradar
Hi,
I'm new to the TOON platform. Since a couple of days I have a rooted TOON, with the TOON store installed (big thank you to TerrorSource). I installed the Buienradar app (version 8.20). However, I'm not able to select any weatherstation. When I choose the option Weatherstation, I'm redirected to an empty screen.
The Toon I'm running on has version 4.8x installed, without TOON subscription.
Is there someone who can help me on this one?

the available weather stations are collected at startup of Toon when the buienradar xml file is read the first time.
It could be that you restarted Toon just after midnight when the file doesn't contain any data at all. Or it could be that Toon couldn't connect to the Internet at startup.
Restarting Toon again should resolve this.
Alternatively you can manually configure the weatherstation.
- Open with your browser xml.buienradar.nl.
- Find the row "<stationcode>xxxx</stationcode>" for the station closest to you.
- Enter the 4 digit stationcode in the file selectedStation.txt in the buienradar folder on Toon and reboot the gui.
Hope this helps.

Re: Toon app: Buienradar
Hi Toonz,
thank you for your quick answer. Right now I'm testing my Toon (I intend to install it this weekend). The toon was able to get a wifi signal at startup, despite of that the list of stations didn't load (I left it running last night, and I checked this morning if there was a list.. but unlucky me). Anyway I was browsing the source code of the buienradar app and I noticed the selected stations file. I'll put in the number manually, then it should work.
Still have a lot to learn regarding to this platform and how to hack around
Cheers,
Bas

Hi, the list in the source code is not maintained at all. Actual codes can be found in http://xml.buienradar.nl/basvandesande wrote:Hi Toonz,

Re: Toon app: Buienradar
The app uses an http-url that is auto-forwarded to https by buienradar.
It probably requires wget-with ssl, but this dependency is not installed by ToonStore.
