0.25 Weather - Canada data messed up

I setup 3 weather screens, and 2 of them aren't right...

Current conditions: Works great
Animated map: Always blank (location: hrpt_ont1_vis_100)
Six day forcast: Values a obviously wrong - not even close to this city (location: London, Ontario)

Any canadians out there have these working? Tips on how to fix?

The Animated map for Environment Canada is built from a series of
static images using ImageMagick. Do you have it installed?

Don't know about the 6 day forecast issue.

Which source are you using for that? My guess is that you aren't using
the EnvCan (Environment Canada) one.

Apart from one little problem I have noticed with the script output
(which shouldn't affect what you see though), the info from the EnvCan
script seems to be pretty accurate.

The info from wunderground on the other hand was far from the right one...

Have a nice day!

I was using a non ENVCANADA source, and temperatures were a mess. Now with envcan it works.

However, the maps down't seem to work. Do you have any weather maps working?

What precisely did you setup? What did you search on, what provider,
etc? It's quite possible that the scripts aren't working due to the
data source changing formats, etc... I can take a look at it if I
have enough info.

For the six day forecast she wasn't using the EnvCan parser and it looks
like Wunderground is giving, at least for some locations, incorrect
information (I never want to go to London Ontario if the temperatures
they get there are like the ones I have seen the wundeground script
return... (-; ).

For the (EnvCan) animated map I can't get it working either... I called
the script directly and it built the animated gif file (which I have
verified is OK) but it's not displayed so it looks like either the
parsing of the output of the script or the displaying of the MythUIImage
is at cause here...

Have a nice day!

Hmm. This doesn't bode well :) This is the joy of working with
external data sources...

Ugh. OK, something else to retest... I think we need a ticket for
this stuff so it doesn't get forgotten.
