Weatherfax Plugin Not Working with OpenCPN 5.10.2 (Help would be hugely appreciated!)
Hi guys,
Has anyone else noticed that the Weatherfax plugin no longer seems to work with the latest version(s) of OpenCPN (5.10.2)? I get an error anytime I try to install it and on startup.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

You are on macOS?
Just installed WF 1.9.111.1 on macOS 16.2.1 (M1) and no error messages.
OCPN 5.10.2

Yep - MacOS 14.6.1.
Will try updating my operating system and restarting and see if that changes anything.
Good to hear it worked for you!

Re: Weatherfax Plugin Not Working with OpenCPN 5.10.2 (Help would be hugely appreciat
Just tried again with MacOS 15 (Sequoia) after restarting my computeer - still can't install the current version of Weatherfax. After clicking install it never sort of pops it over into the active plugin section where you can enable. On startup of OpenCPN I get an error saying Weatherfax had an error on startup and so will be uninstalled.
Anyone having this problem? Any solutions?

The current weatherfax version 1.9.111.1 installed just fine for me on macOS and seems to work.

As Nohal said, from what we see, there is basicly no issue with the plug-in.
What you can try is to uninstall the plug-in and perhaps beyond that a look with Finder if there are any remains left still. And thenafter to install it again.

Or post the OpenCPN logfile, please.
Thanks

If you are not going to provide the file requested by bdbcat, you could try to uninstall the plugin, update the catalog and the reinstall the current downloaded version, but that won't help figure out exactly what happened and what is wrong.

Uninstall and update the catalog, and reinstall.
As Pavel and others advise, weatherfax version 1.9.111.1 works fine for me on Windows 11, I suggest you review the weatherfax manual, as the user interface is "clever" and a little unusual. Start by picking "Retrieve > internet" when you have an internet connection, then select NOAA, then a station, like "Boston", then check the faxes you want. Then hit "Selected" "Scheduled"
Also attach screenshots if you are having trouble. If you are having trouble with the plugin, you should provide the OS and plugin version, and attach a separate Opencpn.log file (use the About ? in the program).

That is the way it starts! Read the manual please. Go step by step from the manual.
Also I have explained briefly below, the steps to take. I am not going to repeat this,it is getting boring.
The weatherfax plugin works, at least the internet retrieval part works fine.
