problem with FlyXC sounding plug in

Suty

@PieroMa Hello, this plugin is handled by @vicb, I am sorry he will help with this matter.

@PieroMa what's your problem? On what computer/phone.

It works right now on my phone and I use it daily on my computer.

@Suty As I posted on Slack, it seems to be related to changes made by the windy team w/o any warning to plugin devs. Hopefully they can find a way to better communicate those and avoid breaking plugins (which should both be easy)

vicb

@Suty I would appreciate a confirmation of my understanding on slack so that I can implement a fix.
Thanks for your help

@vicb Hello, I forwarded your message there to colleagues, responsible for these changes.

@PieroMa Unfortunately the windy team had no time today to approve the plugin and publish it :(

But you can use the URL to install the plugin - when you install plugins there is an option to "Load plugin directly from URL", you could paste the URL to the new version https://windy-plugins.com/726021/windy-plugin-fxc-soundings/4.2.1/plugin.min.js

Again the plugin broke because of unannounced updates in windy - I hope they can find a better way to work with plugin authors in the future.

Hi @vicb, although I can find it just fine on the web browser version I'm struggling to locate that "Load plugin directly from URL" on the app. Any advice?

Thanks!

vicb

@Pierre-MICHELOT-2 I don't thin t5k it's avaiable in the app and the current version of the app broke the plugin anyway.
Your best chance is to install the plugin (normally, not via URL) on a browser either on mobile or desktop

@vicb Thanks for the quick reply. Do you have any idea if this issue will be fixed in the app?

vicb

@Pierre-MICHELOT-2 I'll be back from vacation and looking at that next week as soon as the windy team is able to help

Looks like it is working now with the latest version of the app
