i had some free time and found way to make weather in fsd work. you just need to google old api key(24 characters worked for me) or use your own if you have one.

fsd uses http://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v1/... type of links and they work pretty well. everything you need is an old api key.

worldweatheronline has two types of links:

http://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v1/...
http://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v2/...

first for old api keys(24 chars) and second for new api keys(29 chars, i assume some time ago there wasn`t such division).
worldweatheronline gives api keys for free, which will work only with second type. premium api key can be obtained for money. but you can use any valid key you obtained for free a while ago or google it on forums.

i have tried changing links in default.xex, but xml structures for v1 and v2 aren`t the same, so fsd have troubles displaying info correctly.

UPD: if the key you googled doesn`t work: each key has "Queries per day" limitation(1000 per day). and, as a result of of its publicity, this limit is reached very quickly.

you can check your key with this link:

http://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v1/weather.ashx?q=New+York&num_of_days=5&includeLocation=yes&format=xml&key=YOURKEY

It's not impossible, nothing is ever "impossible", it's all a matter of thinking correctly, it's not an easy task, and quite frankly, you don't need it, if you use the Quick Browse, it should show latest played game at the top, and all of the rest after that... meaning, it should be possible to just have it set to the sort that sorts by name, and use the Quick Browse feature to see the last game you played...

nope, quick browse(X button) shows titels in abc order, whithout last played at the top.

so:

Device:\XBLA\

Device:\Retail\

Device:\GOD\

?

"^.-xbla.-$"

"^.-retail.-$"

"^.-god.-$"

worked for me. it will show games from specified folder on all devices connected. 

oh, and folder names should be in lower case

Yeah, that's exactly how you would do it... otherwise, what did you expect to get? all with a date specified to be first?

That's also possible, you just check for whatever it would be when it's been played, and check if Item1 and 2 is set, then compare text, otherwise item1 goes before item2 or vice versa

i wanted to show the last played game(only one latest title) in the begining of the list and all others in alphabetical order after it. cause the script i wrote has almost the same sorting order as the standart "Recent Activity" one.

but from everything i know for now, i assume this is impossible, unless implemented in aurora. correct me if i`m wrong

The way you do it is by first checking if they're on the same time, if not; compare that, if they're the same you change the comparison to title...

It's all done in a single function =)

tried it, result: all games that i have played were sorted by time and only those with "last played time: never" - by name.

here is the code:

GameListSorters["MySort"] = function(Item1, Item2, Type)
	-- Check if sort Descending
	if Type == SortType.Descending then
	   if Item2.LastPlayed.HighPart == Item1.LastPlayed.HighPart then
	      if Item2.LastPlayed.LowPart == Item1.LastPlayed.LowPart then
	         return string.lower(Item1.Name) > string.lower(Item2.Name)
	      end
	      return Item2.LastPlayed.LowPart > Item1.LastPlayed.LowPart
	   end
	   return Item2.LastPlayed.HighPart > Item1.LastPlayed.HighPart
	end

	-- Sort Ascending
	if Item2.LastPlayed.HighPart == Item1.LastPlayed.HighPart then
	   if Item2.LastPlayed.LowPart == Item1.LastPlayed.LowPart then
	      return string.lower(Item1.Name) < string.lower(Item2.Name)
	   end
	   return Item2.LastPlayed.LowPart < Item1.LastPlayed.LowPart
	end
	return Item2.LastPlayed.HighPart < Item1.LastPlayed.HighPart
end 

Here's an example for devices: https://github.com/Swizzy/AuroraScripts/blob/master/Media/Scripts/UserFilters/ConnectX.lua

i'll make you an example later for folders on a device...

waiting for it

the list of Content properties(root, disknum, etc) i found in this topic: http://www.realmodscene.com/index.php?/topic/3570-the-aurora-scripting-how-to-guide/

is there any list of of other useful classes(ContentFlag, ContentGroup, maybe others if exist)?

upd: found it in Enums.lua

Swizzy, can you show simple example of filtering by path, please?

thanks for your replies!

There is a new thing similar to what you're asking coming with 0.5b, did you even read the update information for 0.5b?

There won't be a "select this game to be shown with this filter" type of thing, because it's just not worth all the hassle of doing so... if you are unable to figure out the lua scripting on your own, and the filters that are available aren't working for you, you can ask others to help you build a script for what you want...

Here's a link to the Update Information thread for 0.5b: http://www.realmodscene.com/index.php?/topic/4848-update-information-aurora-05b/

oh, i missed that little paragraph between screens.

about filters, maybe there is some way to move title to another filter, from hombrew to arcade, for example? 

because editing lua scripts each time you add or remove game is not worth it

it would be great to have fast filter switching buttons(LB/RB for example) to switch between existing filters.

and also to have some simple filter creation function in Aurora itself. so you can create filter and select titels, which will be shown when filter is active

but why now and not a week ago?

it works fine when i remove my external harddrive and reboot the console

does it work when you try to go into nxe dash?

i had similar problem with start button, because of screenshot combo(it was set as activator button)

and what is boxart option for?

there is an xbox marketplace tab with download button in settings menu, which, i assume, should download missing assets(including covers aka boxarts) from the oficial xbox marketplace. but for me it does nothing at all. am i wrong about its functionality?

i made a couple of quick tests and it seems that both plugins works properly without renaming.

there is FtpDll plugin in aurora. does it mean that if i start aurora from boot, i`ll be able to connect via ftp anytime(while playing games)?

if no, will it conflict with ftpdll plugin for dashlaunch?

when i log in into f3 webui on port 9999, i get this errors:

Error getting ProfileInfo: 200 SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,
Error getting AchievementInfo: 200 SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,
Error getting ThreadInfo: 200 SyntaxError: Unexpected token ,

game and notes tabs work well, but others have no info and << Launcher button do nothing

ps FSD3.0bRev775

upd: fixed it by moving plugins folder from aurora to fsd. works like a charm

Nope

will they be in the future updates?

i have game on dvd disk, when i insert dvd in my xbox there is no option in fsd to open tu manager for this game, unless i install it on my hdd

hello, is there any simple way to download/update TUs(except manual downloading and moving in proper folder) for games on disks(not installed on hdd) in fsd?
