Weather Display Live - Getting Started

Troubleshooting

If Weather Display Live fails to load correctly in your web browser please carefully check the following -

Errors loading data or blank screens

A mesage saying you need to upgrade or install Flash v8

Error loading configuration

No changes are showing in your web browser

If you have made changes to the wdlconfig.xml file and they are not showing up in your web browser this is usually because the file is being cached somewhere, either by your web browser or a proxy server somewhere in the chain. This is commonly hosted by your Internet Service Provider to reduce internet traffic. There are four things you can try if your browser is caching -

  1. Refresh the page. In Internet Explorer press F5.
  2. Force a refresh of the cache in your browser. In Internet Explorer press Ctrl + F5
  3. Restart your browser.
  4. Empty your browsers cache completely. In Internet Explorer go to Tools - Internet Options - General and click on 'Delete Files'.

Flash will not load data files which reside in a different domain to the actual swf file for security reasons. Therefore make sure your swf, wdlconfig.xml and clientraw.txt files all reside in the same domain.

For all features to work correctly you must be using Weather Display v10.37i or greater.

For any other issues please post to the Weather Display forum at http://www.weather-watch.com/smf/ where I'll do my best to help.
