if you use Xevent plugin, you can refresh what you want.

personaly i refresh weather ( all 1 hours ) , videos database ( 5am ) and music database (6am).

I actually tried that this morning but must have done something wrong.

I tested to just add an event that refresh all but xlobby blew up when the event fired? I read through the entire post but couldn't figure out what was going on. Are u using the latest sdk dll?
If I can do it through Xevent it would be great.

All I did was this
1/ downlaod plugin
2/ Pressed F2 and in your plugin I added a Trigger that ran once and did the update weahter(from the event on the left side).

it crashes!

I had it update the weather now every 1 hour and it only worked the first time. Haven't done any changes and haven't closed down xlobby. what happens is that all weather info gets wiped out but I can tell that it got updated? but there is no data!! Does this happen to u to? Do u have an extra command to refresh screen or anything like that?

I still think the weather plugin should have an auto update function, but for me it would be enough if the XEvent worked. So any help would be appriciated.

Regards Lasse
