SysMetrix METAR data
weather data retrieval
Saturday, January 2, 2010 by machinehd | Discussion: OS Customization
Has anyone else noticed that as of Jan 1st, the METAR data doesn't work for most sites to retrieve weather info? Almost every site responds with a Parse error. I've R&R'd Sysmetrix thinking it may be a corrupt data file but the problem persists. I read some forums saying it's possibly the Weather Channel but Sysmetrix retrieves it's data from NOAA. Does anyone have a line of why this is happening? NOAA's weather site still uses the same 4-character METAR codes and they don't mention any changes.

Thanks Nick,
Just updated to version 3.45 and the weather is working. I appreciate all that you do and I love the SysMetric. Couldn't live without it.

Hi ppl, first time poster but I'm using SysMetrix back from 2005 and it never failed me, but now my google mail is not checking properly through SysMetrix. It's been like this for something like 2 months and I suppose gmail servers switched IP or something. It is not such problem for me SysMetrix can't retrieve unread message count, but it also block other accounts check once it stumbles upon gmail check. I'm getting: Error: 11001 Authoritative answer: Host not found message whenever I manually try to force the check, seeing automatic checks are failing. Maybe it's not the best thing to post here, but I don't want to bother Xymantrix with this if there is an obvious solution someone else found. If not, I'll ask him through support options on his site.
Thanks for the read.
