Cool, thanks Allan.

Although I feel a little let down.

Works for me. But if the script is limited to the scope of the current weather.com feed the current HB device and properties can be "reused", thus not having to create a new HB device and properties (and redo panel controls for those new properties). Just a thought. Adding a bunch of new ...

Agree about the length of data, but since someone else might want more, I figured why not write the script that way up front. . . I only show current and tomorrow, myself. . . for longer forecasts I'm online on a computer all the time anyways.

Hi Osler- Ok, not more code, but studying a little this morning. . . I think I have this right. .. The layout keys are going to change node names- you have InStr(Node.firstChild.text, "n13-1") InStr(Node.firstChild.text, "n7-1") InStr(Node.firstChild.text, "n6-2") in yo...

This works to dynamically get all the values- Case "parameters" For Each ChildNode In Node.childNodes Select Case ChildNode.nodeName Case "temperature" If ChildNode.attributes.getNamedItem("type").text = "maximum" Then 'Debug.WriteLine "Maximum Temperatur...

Wow, your vbscript is pretty different from what will run on my system. . . is it dependent on the OS? (Win2k for me) edit- ok, had a couple things that got me. . . your debug and sleep statements were different, and I missed the lack of a device name where you were assigning the properties.. . . I ...

I hear you- I was waiting too. At least the radar pics are still working! I haven't looked too much at that format- I was thinking maybe this one- http://graphical.weather.gov/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdSOAPclientByDay.php?whichClient=NDFDgenByDayMultiZipCode&lat=&lon=&listLatLon=&lat1=&...

I'll parse if you toss me your XML fetch. . .

Isn't the NOAA feed available in XML? I took a quick look at it- it seems to be free. Not sure how friendly it is though. I did find this website too- http://phpstarter.net/2008/12/5-sources-of-free-weather-data-for-your-site/ and this page there- http://phpstarter.net/2009/02/parse-weather-forecast...

Win2k for remotes and server. (yes, old school )

1. I use one Text-2-Speech device that I hit from multiple tasks to play announcements. I set the Output Device field and the Text field to what is required.

2. You can use Winamp to do this- not sure there is any other built in way to do it. Or there is Richard's script. . .

Sounds like your database may have gotten roached. You can open it directly and inspect it. . . or re-import, maybe? Not sure what that might do to playlists.

There are people doing camera feeds- see this thread for example. Not sure how it was accomplished.

Ok . .. with that clue I found them. Not sure where they came from though- maybe the old Housebot Browser? Thanks!

Since we're talking errors, I get two of these every time I start HB-

Unable to start the IPC Server. Error = [Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted. ]

Anybody know about this one?
