Same here, it rarely if ever works the first 2-3 tries

I've been seeing the same behavior for a few weeks now. It got to the
point where I'd have to refresh about 7 or 8 times before it'd finally
grab the info. Today it just never did, even after about 20 refreshes.
I thought perhaps it was just me, but perhaps not. Perhaps it's a
problem with the source web page?

See my most recent thoughts on the matter near the end of this thread:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/mailarc/gforum.cgi?post=71040

which also references this thread:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/mailarc/gforum.cgi?post=63050

Change the usleep line and I'll bet it will work properly and probably with
a relatively low aggressiveness setting too. With the usleep mod,
mythweather works fine for me over a 56k dialup even while sharing the
bandwidth 50:50 with a FTP client.

I believe my fix is correct although it hasn't been applied. I just mod my
source myself if it ever changes.

Yea, about 80% of the time, when I go into mythweather, it tells me "3
attempts failed, waiting 5 minutes". I've got a cable connection, so I
wonder where the problem is coming in at?

It's in CVS since yesterday, I believe.

Thanks Isaac. I didn't notice it in the commits digest - perhaps it will
come in the next one.

Yep just checked - it's definitely in CVS - thanks Isaac or whoever put it
in. So to those having trouble, update to the latest CVS if you want to see
if that fixes the problem.

And for those of you not using CVS, just up the aggressivelvl (forget
the exact setting name) to something like 300 in the database itself,
and it will cure the problem.

(I *told* you guys weeks ago on IRC there was a problem with this! :] )

Fine - except the code in mythweathercomms.cpp limits the aggressiveness
to a maximum of 15 so your suggestion won't work. From weather.cpp:

config_Aggressiveness =
(gContext->GetSetting("WeatherAggressiveLvl")).toInt();
if (config_Aggressiveness > 15)
config_Aggressiveness = 15;

Well if you want to take credit....

Whups that should've gone to the list as well...

Hm, this must've changed since the last time I did this, because it
"just worked" (tm) when I did it. Ah well, it's fixed now so it's not
important.

No, not taking credit, just pointing out the fact that nobody there
would take me seriously when I pointed out the bug to them... You're
welcome to it :)

Ack! There's no mythweathercomm.cpp file in my 0.10 copy of myth, and
the weathercomm.cpp file
I looked at had three usleep commands. Am I even in the ballpark?

Try the very latest CVS, if possible. It looks like John has rewritten a
whole bunch of stuff particularly with comms.

It looks like the file I originally referred to is gone now.

If you're not use the latest CVS with the original file, the code
snippet in the second should be pretty easy to find.
