Also we tried to reinstall module with same result. We also replaced the Open Weather Map API key.
Alo we cannot get the weather pronostic in slide module tab.
What can we do?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
I’d like to troubleshoot if this is an issue with the module, your API key or the player you are using.
Please can you try the following suggestions and confirm in your next message what you found:
Make sure your player named DV8553-unknown is licensed. You can check this by viewing the status logs for your player. This guide explains how to access them from your CMS and locally at the device running your player.
Open your layout in the layout designer and click on the Weather widget. You can see in my screenshot that on the Forecast tab for the widget you can click Get Forecast. When you click that does it generate a new forecast?
I set up a new API key from Open Weather and also found that I was not able to return data. On some calls, including the daily forecast, I was not able to return the data.
Please can all users experiencing this issue confirm if they have subscribed to the One Call API key or the free API key? If you have the free key only, please can you try subscribing to the One Call key and confirm if the issue persists? It would also be helpful to know if the following calls work with your One Call API key (you will need to add your key to the appid= variable at the end of the call.):
Please note that if you make more than 1,000 API calls in a day when using the One Call API key that a charge will be incurred. If you intend to use this API for free you will need to make sure your displays are configured to make a total number of calls each day that is less than that.
Hello Dan,
Thank you for the investigation.
I have subscribed to the paid plan, and I still can not see the forecast or showing the weather…
I tried with and with the option paid plan activated in the module…
To elaborate a little on Dan’s comment - the widget uses the 2.5 version of OpenWeather’s API (which is all that was available when we started). We think that any new keys they give are only working on the 3.0 version of the API (that is our guess at the moment).
We probably have to make a change so that you can pick between 2.5 and 3.0 in the module config .
We are still looking into it and will come back as soon as we can.
It looks like the “One Call API 3.0” being pushed by OpenWeather is not compatible with Xibo’s implementation. More, the API key you get with One Call is not compatible with the free or paid API calls.
Until we can make an update, all users will either need to choose one of the “Professional collections” listed below.
This is an update regarding the issue some have been experiencing with the Open Weather API keys not returning data. An issue has been created and a fix will be applied to a future release of the Xibo CMS:
Thank you very much to all users that provided information that helped locate the root cause of the issue.
