MeeCast for SailfishOS

64-bit only (Sony Xperia 10 ii and Pinephone); the 32-bit version is great as it is.

Sorry, guys - I messsed up the relative links. I installed 64-bit Sailfish on my Pinephone yesterday and tried to follow my own advice.

This actually works - if you followed my faulty advice use ln -sfn instead of ln -s (-sfn redirects the link, -s tries to create a new one and fails if you donẗ't delete the faulty links with rm):

devel-su
cd /usr/share/harbour-meecast
ln -s /usr/share/harbour-meecast/buttons_icons /usr/share/buttons_icons
ln -s /usr/share/harbour-meecast/db /usr/share/db
ln -s /usr/share/harbour-meecast/html /usr/share/html
ln -s /usr/share/harbour-meecast/iconsets /usr/share/iconsets
ln -s /usr/share/harbour-meecast/images /usr/share/images
ln -s /usr/share/harbour-meecast/qml /usr/share/qml
ln -s /usr/share/harbour-meecast/sources /usr/share/sources
ln -s /usr/share/harbour-meecast/xsd /usr/share/xsd

* * *

You can check if it worked:
ls -l /usr/share | grep meecast

The output should look something like this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jun 27 15:17 buttons_icons -> harbour-meecast/buttons_icons lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jun 27 15:20 db -> harbour-meecast/db
drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 4096 Jun 27 08:07 harbour-meecast
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jun 27 15:18 html -> harbour-meecast/html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Jun 27 15:14 iconsets -> harbour-meecast/iconsets
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 Jun 27 15:16 images -> harbour-meecast/images
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 27 15:16 qml -> harbour-meecast/qml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jun 27 15:20 sources -> harbour-meecast/sources
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jun 27 15:19 xsd -> harbour-meecast/xsd

* * * Foreca, FMI and Yr.no are reliable, OpenWeatherMap isn't.

This is relevant only to developers:

Changing the path in

~/.config/harbour-meecast/config.xml

 <base>/usr/share/</base>

to  <base>/usr/share/harbour-meecast</base>

won't help because it gets overwritten almost immediately, and MeeCast won't start if config.xml isn't writable. I believe config.xml is meant to override the default - some users might want to use ~/.local/share/harbour-meecast - not the other way round.

The /usr/share/harbour-meecast/lib directory is referenced in config.xml but missing.
<converter>/usr/share/harbour-meecast/lib//opt/com.meecast.omweather/lib/fmifi</converter>

Thanks for providing a 64 bit version but no weather sources are available. "Select the weather source" is shown but no options to select one.

Just me, or does neither the lock screen nor the events widget work on 4.0? They were both working for me until update...

Can u build a 64 bit package?

Hey thanks for this nice app. I would love to ask to add wind information on the hourly screens. Speed and direction arrow would suffise. The wind information is available but not shown. Its used in daily weather anyhow.

I might even be able to help with a PR if you guide me to the right direction in the source.

Hello! Thanks for a great app! One thing about the MeeCast icon set: a cloud with 3 drops is rain, but a cloud with 5 drops is showers/ light rain? Isnt the icon with 5 drops missing a sun behind?

It seems the icon for heavy rain (5drops) is the same used for rain showers (that would in theory need a sun behind as most other icon set (eg glance) do in the app...

Hello, would you be able to add maritime weather network among the sources such as Meteo Marine for example?

Hi Vlad,

Sorry to say this is still happening. Right now it's Thursday morning 3/9/2020 in Melb Australia, but the app is still showing data for Wednesday. The current observations match real time.

Can you have a look at it? I am using Bureau of Meterology data (BOM).

Добрый день! В версии 1.1.30 сломался формат страницы О программе.
Спасибо за Вашу работу.
