My weather docklet stopped working about three or four days ago.  It says "Internet not available".  It had been working for at least 6 months prior.  I am running Windows XP, Objectdock 1.9 Plus, area code 46755.  Anyone have any ideas?

Here is the story (of a man named Brady.... wait no, sorry...)


Anyway here is the time line for the issue you are having.

- in 200and blahblooblah.... Stardock switches from the Weather Channel to AccuWeather, and the people were happy.

-Shortly after the weather docklets and weather gadgets were updated and Object Dock Plus got a beta update that contained some better 64bit support and fixes for the new servers with Accuweather.

-After that we release a new beta that blows up (it was a beta after all) and Object Dock backs up to just the release version of Object Dock Plus and rebreaks the weather gadget some but makes the 'dock' part work well again.

-Developers have made different changes that makes putting up the previous version of the beta impossible.

-The next beta should contain the fixes for the doclet plus updates leaning on the 2.0 release (but not all of them).

-The next update is planned for this month after this week of crazy releases.

Sorry for my comic interpretation of the facts but I had hoped to entertain you while explaining that more time is needed. Currently the dock will work in certain areas that the old version was already mapped to, but not all. The best thing to do is to look for locations close to you (by town or zip code) until the release comes out. Please let me know if you have further questions.

Having the same problem as others. Telling me that the "Internet is not available". Living in San Marcos, CA 92069. It was also working a couple of days ago and I have made no changes to my system.

Halifax, Nova Soctia, Canada.

I am having the exactly same problem since the last weekend. Never experience such a long time unavailable weather status before. Usually I restart the objectdock and everything comes back. But this time nothing works. 

I have been googled an old post from Seabass on April of this year, said that the weather data system was maintaining at some point. I am wondering if it is the same thing and we could get an update soon.

I miss the weather docklet so much.  

Interesting...the weather docklet in my freeware OD software that I installed on my laptop last week is still working, however, the OD+ version that I have on my desktop is not.  I wonder if it is because of the different versions of software Seabass was talking about.  Well, hopefully the issue will get all sorted out sooner than later.

I have been getting this error on and off for the last two weeks. I am in St. Petersburg, Florida

Accuweather.com can give you some insight into how they are naming the location of your city or town. Simply look it up on the website and see how they list it. Then write that into the weather dock properties and the docklet will make a "best guess" unless it finds it right away. Let me know if you guys have further troubles.

I can use that location from here. Could anyone else try it to see if they get the disconnection with that location?

Can confirm this, I tried a manual update first, still got feed not available, quit and restarted OD and weather updates fine.

how does one get the beta updates of OD Plus?  Impulse does not show them available to me

I was able to replicate some of that. I am reporting it up to find out of there is some insight from the developers on this.

The beta is not yet available for ObjectDock.

What location are you attempting to access?
