mythweather plugin disappeared from frontend menus after mythtv 0.24.1 updates

[Gepardi]

Mythweather plugin disappeared from frontend menus after mythtv 0.24.1 updates. Mythweather package has been installed but I cannot find it anymore from Mythfrontend menus under "System info" or similar (I have Finnish frontend and their it's "Tiedotekeskus").

sudo apt-cache policy mythweather

Can you launch mythfrontend from a terminal and provide the output, see if it says any information about errors loading the plugin or anything like that

I have the same issue after updating to version: fixes/0.24 [v0.24.1-119-g4f6c691]

Just run from frontend via terminal and all themes seem to have a missing xml file - "ThemeInfo, Error: The theme (/usr/share/mythtv/themes/Gray-OSD) is missing a themeinfo.xml file. "

Not sure whether this file is the culprit, but it does show in the terminal for every theme.

Looks like this is what broke it:

I've committed a fix in mythtv-fixes bzr r460 and mythtv-master bzr r475. It should be available in any autobuilds that include the date 01/06/2012 or later.

[Jason Kitching (jason-jadrallypix)]

Excellent. I ran an update tonight and can confirm that it is now fixed.

Thanks.
