Still sorting out minor issues with a new mythtv system.
Running 0.17 from ATRPMS on FC3 system.
I noted in some past messages on the list that the mythweather feature should have animated radar maps.
For Orlando, FL I verified that weather.com where I believe the maps come from does have an animated map. However I just see a static map when using that feature.
Is there an option that I missed in setting things up to get the animated maps?

Here's a repost from last month on how to fix this:

Hi all. Had a minor problem where after upgrading from 0.16 to 0.17 (a very smooth process in Gentoo, btw), MythWeather's radar went from animated to non-animated. After a quick look through the source code for MythWeather, I see that it does indeed look for information in the DB. For some reason, most MythWeather information in the "settings" column are not present for me, including "WeatherWantAnimated", which controls wether the radar image is a static or animated image.
After adding that setting to the column in MySQL (with a "1" indicating "true" and the name of my frontend box), lo and behold, pretty green blobs rolling across California.
I searched through my pre-0.17 DB backup, and this setting is not present there either, so perhaps the default MythWeather setting changed from animated to static? If that's true, shouldn't there be an option to change this from within the MythRadar settings interface, rather than manual manipulation of the DB? Or am I missing something here? Apologies if this has been noted - I searched gossamer-threads, to no avail.
Here's the SQL: --- $ mysql -u <dbuser> -p Password: ***** Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 28248 to server version: 4.0.22
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> use mythconverg; Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A
Database changed
mysql> insert into settings (value,data,hostname)
-> VALUES ("WeatherWantAnimated", 1, "<frontend hostname>");
---That's it.
