@Morpheus:

As per your request in your PM, I've attached an AutoImgDL file that will run Radar.exe from \SD Card\Todayplus\Radar.exe

This will happen about 15 sec after detecting a WiFi connection  For this to work automatically, you must use PHM Tools, or even MortScript.

Details are in this thread.  http://forums.jhollin1138.com/index.php?topic=1717.0

Hope this is what you wanted.  Let me know if all is well!

The two old skins I use HandyPlus Basic and OSX complete didn't originally have radar.exe at all and hence I had to modify it. Do you want me to map Radar.exe instead of TpExeDelay? What exactly are you trying to see from this test?
Morpheus

I wondered if radar.exe & radar.txt would work for you if you just started it manually without TPexeDelay.exe (potentially) running.
To test this you would have to switch to your old skin, soft reset, then tap radar.exe.
Just trying to narrow down the problem: If radar.exe works as a standalone application, your problem should be in the skin and/or TPexeDelay.exe, otherwise it may be the version of Radar.exe and/or radar.txt

Ah ok I thought it was to help you troubleshoot your problems and hence was a bit confused . As i said in one of the posts above the problem seems to have gone away and all is working well (except TP+ auto-updates on activesync connection) but I think someone mentioed a way around this earlier in the thread.

Thanks anyway,

Morpheus

P.S. the radar.exe I am using is working its just that there are three programs with the same name and hence its a bit confusing as which is the current one/best version as they seem to have been posted by different people.

I have added a button in the same location as the refresh on the HandyBasicPlus skin which starts TPExedelay
I have copied radar.exe and TPDelay.Exe [...]
I have created a TPExeDelay.txt file [...]
I have created a Radar.txt file in [...]
The radar.log contains [...]

Does anyone have any idea as to what i am doing wrong?

Morpheus,

Can you test the radar.exe and radar.txt with your old skin (that is without the potential interference of TPexeDelay.exe)?

The reason that I'm asking is that I set up radar.exe and radar.txt first, without any changes to the skin and without TPexeDelay.exe, and that was running just fine. I only needed to update my weather manually by running radar.exe.

Next I started to modify the skin (I am using the Hammerskin). First of all, it does not work (yet), by that I mean that is if TP triggers an update, I don't see any evidence of TPexeDelay.exe or Radar.exe starting up, and second I do get a lot of other problems. The TP update process sometimes is hanging, furthermore if you then manually start Radar.exe anything can happen: error messages in the log, unresponsive PDA, soft reset does not work etc. Fortunately I could still access the PDA by ActiveSync - Explore and clear the Buffer folder, followed by soft reset, that did work. Obviously I do not yet master the art of modifying Wichtels very nice  Hammerskin,  I am working on that...

To cut a long story short, that's why am asking if the problem goes away if you're using the old skin.

Regards, GJCV

Hey Morpheus, just tested with your locations and it worked fine ?
The radar.exe I' m using, ist the one from this thread:
http://forums.jhollin1138.com/index.php?topic=1827.0

I'm attaching the radar.txt I used (maybe there is an error in your txt-file)

Regards Broesel

Hi Broesel both exes were from that thread but the bigger one (not in first post) seems to  also create a log file. The problem with the update seems to have gone away for the moment as it is now working via ActiveSync as well. Somebody was talking about getting the update working with auto-refreshes so I may look into that.

Thanks,

Morpheus

P.S. I found a third radar.exe file in the same thread which has an xml configuration file. Which one do people generall use.

I have created a Radar.txt file in the same directory as radar.exe which contains the following two lines:

The radar.log contains the following:
--------------------

Hello Morpheus,

That one is easy...
It's the Silent version, same thing, but without status window displaying.

Cheers!!!

Looks like it may be some bizarre activesybc problem as it works when i perform the update via GPRS.

BTW does anyone know why there are two versions of TPExedelay and TpRegistryWinDir one postfixed with an S?

Ok,

I have read around a bit and setup radar.exe but I think I need a bit more help

I have added a button in the same location as the refresh on the HandyBasicPlus skin which starts TPExedelay

I have copied radar.exe and TPDelay.Exe into my TodayPlus directory on the SD Card:
\SD Card\TodayPlus

I have created a TPExeDelay.txt file in \My documents with the following entry:
\SD Card\TodayPlus\Radar.exe

I have created a Radar.txt file in the same directory as radar.exe which contains the following two lines:

SURL=http://72.9.224.178/~tpfansc/rss/weather.php?Citycode=UKXX0104&Language=EN
STOR=\SD Card\TodayPlus\Buffer\city1.txt

SURL=http://72.9.224.178/~tpfansc/rss/weather.php?Citycode=UKXX0018&Language=EN
STOR=\SD Card\TodayPlus\Buffer\city2.txt

The radar.log contains the following:
--------------------
02:54:44

Error Reading 'http://72.9.224.178/~tpfansc/rss/weather.php?Citycode=UKXX0104&Language=EN'
