Yeah I tried both / and \ with no success.

Just installed it and it works like a charm. Thanks Cranial and Imprezza!

No problem. But don´t thank me, thank Cranial for the original code and Team XBMC for making it possible.

Thanks for the tips here.
This is awesome. Wife doesn't get it though. "Open a f'ing window" she says.
Bet she'll be pissed when a picture of her pops up next time it's "frigid".

I followed the directions but only see a black background.
I have my images in /home/xbmc/bg/weather
and
/home/xbmc/bg/weather/$INFO[Weather.FanartCode] in the imagepath tag.
Only the latest xbmc for xbox has the code pulled from svn, so not sure if linux version has it yet. You have the latest?

yes it does make a difference, and the one you use changes depending on whether you're using linux or whether you're using windows. It threw me off for quite a while before I figured it out.

Well that probably explains it. I'll wait till the linux branch gets updated.

I'm having trouble getting this to work in the windows version of xbmc. Everything is up to date and I changed MyWeather.xml to read as follows:
<control type="multiimage">
<posx>0</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>1280</width>
<height>720</height>
<imagepath>C:\XBMC\weather\$INFO[Weather.FanartCode]</imagepath>
<timeperimage>5000</timeperimage>
<fadetime>2000</fadetime>
<randomize>true</randomize>
<info>Skin.String(CustomWeatherFolder)</info>
<include>backgroundfade</include>
</control>
Is there something im missing or has anyone even got this to work on the windows xbmc?
