Hai there,
I was wondering if there was a possibility to show the MeteoBridge pro info on a tv screen ?

I am now using WeatherDisplay software to connect from my laptop to the MeteoBridge ip adres.
This sort of works, but is not a real good solution.

We want to display the info of the MeteoBridge pro on a screen in the harbour shop.

Hope someone knows a good way.

cheers

It depends on how and what you want to display.
E.g. you could display the MB Live raw data window on a laptop (or other PC) and connect the laptop to the TV to show the browser output.
This would probably need a port redirection in your router to access the MB interface from outside your network.
And it might not look very attractive.

Or, if you run one of the many templates on a web site, you can display that website by connecting your computer to the TV (or nowadays some TV have an inbuilt browser by which you could connect to the web site where the template is hosted).

For example: Weather34, pwsWD, Meteotemplate .... and there are many more I guess.
You can see examples in my signature.
These templates update the data regularly on the screen.
Of course you will need to configure your MB correspondingly to send data to that website/template.

By the way, when/if you look up the templates - the user can choose a bright view also with W34 and pwsWD, pwsWD allows also for a customized color scheme/"theme": "station theme"; in MT the colors can be chosen by the admin but not by the user.

Templates on a website, and those tips, already suggested are a great idea.

I have my own web server and coded a screen-specific HTML web page for an ePaper/eInk tablet that simulates an LCD look (image below). The Meteobridge Pro makes HTTP requests from Services with data parameters in the URL. The web server saves these to a database, a server-side scripts page reads these and renders them as a standard web page using fancy LCD fonts (https://www.keshikan.net/fonts-e.html); the web page auto-reloads every 15 minutes (meta refresh tag in the HTML). The pages also includes some particulate air quality data and tide/astronomical event times included from elsewhere.
