Help: Rainmeter Skins • Re: WebParser: Getting info for app updates.

In addition to the previously posted things:

Using this info, I tried to create a new skin for checking this but I am unable to get it working. I can't understand the relationship between Parent and Child and how they work. I have read the tutorial up to the second child measure.

This is pretty simple concept: same way as on NowPlaying measures, the WebParser measures have one parent measure (usually the one having the RegExp option and the URL option pointing to either a web address or a file) and all other measures are child measures, refering to the parent by a URL=[MeasureParent] option.
The parent measure has two type of updates:

• It is updated as every other measure is. This update is controlled by the Update option of the [Rainmeter] section (and eventually the UpdateDivider option, but in case of WebParser measures, this option is better to be omitted).
• The parent measure periodically reads the online resource or the file. This process is controlled by the Update option of the [Rainmeter] section and the UpdateRate option of the parent measure.

Whenever the parent measure gets the second update, it re-reads the online information or the file and through the child measures retrieves the information.
You can get additional information here.

First, I'm a bit puzzled about the update rate here, is it an error, or have I missed something?
It states 1000 = 1sec, yet goes on to say that 3600 = an hour? But it's 3.6secs isn't it?
An hour would be 1000 x 60secs x 60mins = 3600000?

Update=3600000 means one update of the whole skin once per 3,600,000 milliseconds = 3,600 seconds = 1 hour. Nothing in your skin can be updated more frequently than once per hour (excepting thing controlled by ActionTimer plugin measures, but this is another story). Usually is recommended not to use such large Update values. This creates only problems.
