Weather.com Plus is BACK!!! - ronie - 2011-02-12

oh how i missed it...my favourite plugin of all time...

and now there FINALLY is a XBMC Dharma compatible addon!!!


so what's this thing got to offer?


weekly forecast on your home screen:

daily forecast with a variety of animated weather maps:

hourly forecast:

10 day forecast:

steps to make it work:
  • download and install the addon using the: xbmc-addons repo
  • go to Settings > Weather > Weather
    and select Weather.com+ for Dharma
  • click the settings option below and select a category for the three map lists:
    Map #1 List -> Local
    Map #2 List -> World Details (Satellite World)
    Map #3 List -> (pick one you like)
    press 'ok' to save the settings

Transparency! skin support:
  • T! svn users should update svn now...and you're done :-)
  • if you run the stable version of Transparency!
    open MyWeather.xml and Home.xml an change all occurrences of:
    (Weather.Plugin,weather.com plus)
    to:
    (Weather.Plugin,weather.weatherplus)

Tips:
  • on the weather screen, press up/down to scroll through the available radar maps...press 'ok/enter' to select.
  • click the 'zoom' icon to have a closer look at the map
  • hourly and 10 day forecast can be selected on the side menu


Finally:
  • a big thanx to Nuka1195 for the weather.com plus plugin
  • another big thanx to brightsr for turning it into a dharma compatible addon

Wow, Great work!
I'm so happy to see it's working well on other skin! Smile

Whenever you face any problem, don't hesitate to tell me.

OH Big Grin I can't wait to see this on Paper Street too! Now I'm going to have to work on some weather layouts!


- OggyHr - 2011-02-12

This is great!!


- yadster - 2011-02-12

Will the option for the weekend weather be added? I tried this with the Aeon skin and I like the way you can push down when on weather on the home screen so you can change what weather forecasts are used on the home screen - be great if you could add this. As always a big thanks for a top skin.

Am I the only one who actually turns off the weather, RSS feeds, etc? I always found them annoying. Good to see another plugin working well with the skins though!

I tested forecasts for Madrid, and it had no errors.
If any errors, please re-post xbmc.log on http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=52034. I'll help you with it.

Anyone know if the add-on icon pack supports Canada? The last time I ran this, most of the support was U.S.

as far as i know, you don't need the addon pack.
i'm not using it in the skin.

updated version of the weather.com plus addon: weather.weatherplus.zip

- adds support for weather alerts.

Ronie, Nuka1195, brightsr,
THANK YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH!!!! I was unwilling to upgrade to Dharma on my main HTPC just because it didn't have the weather plus, and the outstanding integration of the weather maps & radar images within T! It is by far the most used feature of XBMC in my house. Thanks again!!


- ronie - 2011-02-13

another update of the addon: weather.weatherplus.zip

this time it adds a weather forecast video.
weather videos are only available for US locations.

you need the svn version of T! for this one.
