I installed your latest release but all I get is a popup about a Catastrophic Error and nothing else. The log just shows
repeatedly:
03/09/2020 13:41:28.992 Error The requested security protocol is not supported.
Stack: at System.Net.ServicePointManager.set_SecurityProtocol(SecurityProtocolType value)

Hello stuartm,
I am surprised that you get this error with the latest v1.0.8 release - it happen on the previous v1.0.7 because Dark Sky ® API started rejecting requests with security settings Tls 1.0.
Well I have made a small hotfix
v1.0.9 which only supports Tls 1.2 per Dark Sky ® API suggestions. Can you give it a try ?
Tested the release on my own WMC Windows 7 Home Premium and my test-bed WIndows 7 Pro with MCE.
Enhancements
- Removed support for Tls 1.0 and Tls 1.1. When calling Dark Sky ® API only Tls 1.2 will be used.

The 1.0.9 version behaves exactly the same. Perhaps the installer is not overwriting the old version with the new version? However I also tried doing an uninstall followed by an install and still no difference.

This was fixed with nelinory's help. He provided a debug version and it showed my system did not support TLS 1.2 This was because I long ago stopped allowing updates to my win 7 systems that were my HTPC's. I manually added KB3154518 to my HTPC systems and then the v1.0.8 release of myForecast started working properly. Thanks to nelinory for his kind help in solving this problem.

myForecast update:
Dark Sky ® API company have been acquired by Apple.
As of 04/01/2020 Dark Sky ® API does not accepts new sign ups. The existing API keys will function through the end of 2021.
Looking for a replacement weather API (need ~400 free calls per day + current weather + 5 days forecast + weather alerts). Any suggestions are welcome.

I am in a similar situation. I stopped updates a long time ago.
Where did you find KB3154518? I am not able to find it. It looks like it was absorbed in a later update.

Might not be helpful for those outside of the US but the national weather service has a weather API.
https://api.weather.gov/

I think that is the actual link to get to the API. This link is for info about using the API:

It appears that the
https://openweathermap.org have a nice free tier - thanks
jachin99 for the tip. They also provide an easy way/guide to migrate from DarkSky API calls to OpenWeatherMap API calls. I will build a myForecast prototype using OpenWeatherMap API as weather provider and see how it goes.

myForecast v1.1.0 release.
Enhancements
- Replaced Dark Sky ® API with OpenWeather ® API, due to Dark Sky ® API discontinuing the free access after been acquired by Apple.
- Rain/Snow precipitation is shown in inches/mm based on the weather units. It is expected precipitation by volume not probability of precipitation (not available in OpenWeather ® API).
- Weather alerts are provided by National Weather Service (
https://www.weather.gov) and they are only available for location coordinates within continental US.
Note
- myForecast v1.0.9 should work fine until the end of 2021 when the Dark Sky ® API will be shutdown. Upgrade to OpenWeather ® API version is not required at this time.

Thanks for the Apple info. Guess I will have to redo my python weather script for my lcd 2x20 screen using openweather.

My Forecast v1.1.0 works fine. Do you still have an issue with the API key ? You can use the following URL (just replace XXXXXXXXX with your API key) to test if the key works:
Code: Select all
