I downloaded the new version of Meteorologist yesterday and it worked for a few hours. But now it isn't loading or anything. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know what the problem is? Thanks.

It works for me, except that it only shows the temperature (the rest of the data is munged). IIRC, this is because Weather.com recently changed their formatting (again); I'd try the latest 2.0 beta and see if that works for you (I've been meaning to myself, but I'm so busy/lazy that I haven't).

Ugh, nevermind...I didn't bother to notice that 1.4.1 was new. Sucks that there are so many problems. :/

It seems that Weather.com is always changing the format of its data, which I don't understand. I think the original developer of Meteo even gave up in part on updating because of this. Anyway, 1.4.1 is still working for me (so far).

v1.4.1 works flawlessly for me...is it only non-US cities that are having problems maybe?

Nope. It is a really strange problem. It just randomly crashed for me last night and now it won't open anymore. Now, whenever I double click it, it just goes to the menu bar and says "Loading" for about 1 minute and then I get a crash.

Does deleting the .plist help at all?

I thought about trying that around 2pm but I was sick and decided to take a nap instead

I'll try it now.

EDIT: That did the trick. Now just to hope it doesn't crash again.

EDIT2: It started refreshing infinitely and it just crashed again and won't relaunch. Oh well, I guess I'll wait for 1.4.2
