Release OzWeather - Australian Weather Addon using BOM data inc. animated radar support
Hi @bossanova808,

Thank you for the guidance. I’ve confirmed that there isn’t an xml subfolder in skin.aeon.nox.silvo; instead, the MyWeather.xml file is located in the 16x9 subfolder.
Permissions for the 16x9 folder are set to drwxrwxr-x, with osmc as the user and group. Based on these permissions, it seems that the folder should be writable by Kodi. However, if there are any other tests or configurations you recommend, I’d be glad to try them.

Meanwhile, I’ll also bring up the repository sync issue with the OSMC team as advised.

Thanks again for all the support!

Hmmmm ok that might be a change in the skin structure, presumably came along with the new version. I'll have a look tomorrow, busy tonight...

Thanks a lot, no rush at all - take your time.

Ok, Skin Patcher 0.4.2 should fix your issue @Harbour - I broke support for other skins on OSMC when I added support for the standard OSMC skin it seems.  My bad, sorry.

(You'll still want to get the OSMC folk to fix their mirror....)

Thanks a ton, bossanova808 - you’re a legend! I’ve tested the updated patcher, and everything is now working perfectly. I really appreciate your help.

As for the mirror, I’m discussing it with Sam from OSMC and hope it’ll be sorted out soon.

Thanks again for all your efforts!

No worries (& looks like that mirror is up to date now as it happens)

G'day all,

I've just started getting an error message pop-up within Kodi related to my OzWeather addon. I am running version 2.1.3 and it has been set to auto-update for some time. I haven't made any recent changes to my system, so I'm unsure what has caused the issue.

Below is the info contained within the Kodi log. Deciphering it is a bit beyond me! Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks heaps.

Please always post a link to a full debug log (it's against the rules here to post extended log snippets I believe)

But in a nutshell you're having network errors when it's trying to retrieve the radar images from the BOM ftp.  I'm not seeing those here so it will be something local - have you changed anything (dns etc?) recently?  Maybe try the basics, reboot your router etc...

Thank you. I just read the info regarding posting logs and then edited my post.

I will have a bit more of a look around. Thanks again.

No worries, hope you solve it - note that log crops like that leave out huge amounts of useful stuff, so a full debug log is always best...might well have clues further up.

Thanks, I will get onto it shortly. This is the full contents of my current kodi.log.

Yep looks like your Kodi machine can't resolve names, not just with OzWeather:

2025-02-03 08:24:47.019 T:15232 error <general>: CRepository: failed read 'https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/omega/addons.xml.gz?sha256'

So definitely a general network problem there...

I've done a bit of further troubleshooting, but it doesn't seem like a general network problem.

Router has been rebooted, along with the Nvidia Shield TV Pro that I am using to run Kodi. Internet is accessible from all the apps on the Shield TV (YouTube, Netflix etc.). Kodi says internet is connected and DNS server is set to my main router LAN IP.

I am also able to access the ABC Weather short video through the OzWeather addon. It plays normally. However, if I select the 'refresh', 'next location' or 'previous location' buttons it seems to timeout and I get the error. I re-added all three weather locations (Perth, Adelaide and Darwin) through the OzWeather settings, but that made no difference. I am also unable to access the blade menu on the left side when I am using the OzWeather addon.

After doing all this and then typing this far into my post, I went back to the TV to check that the ABC Weather video was the current one, and I found that the Perth location information had downloaded and was visible (radar image and weather forecast). I then tried changing location using the 'next location' and 'previous location' buttons, but I got nothing.

I figured that being able to access some features but not all would mean it's a more specific issue, as opposed to a general network issue.

Well, you have network errors in there totally unrelated to OzWeather, i.e.y you can't access the Kodi addons mirror:

2025-02-04 03:00:22.971 T:17468 error <general>: CRepository: failed read 'https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/omega/addons.xml.gz?sha256'
2025-02-04 04:00:23.342 T:21102 error <general>: CCurlFile::CReadState::FillBuffer - (0x2ce04191b0) Failed: Couldn't resolve host name(6)
2025-02-04 04:00:23.342 T:21102 error <general>: CCurlFile::Open - <https://mirrors.kodi.tv/addons/omega/addons.xml.gz?sha256> Failed with code 0:

So that says some sort of more general networking issue to me, likely DNS related.

It's working fine for me on three separate networks, I tested it last night and again this morning.  So I don't think there's a general issue here.

Can you manually open this in a browser or ftp app?
ftp://anonymous:someone%[email protected]

Because I can.

Can you ping/nslookup the sites you're seeing errors with from another machine?  Or from SSH to your Shield (if the Shield lets you do that?)
