- PatrickBateman - 2011-05-26

Hey,

I think I'm experiencing a bug with the plugin, when I select weather, the map (today) view appears and I seem to have animated clouds/rain etc in the forecast window on top of static ones?

Meaning I have a static image of the moon and a cloud with rain, and also an animated on directly over the top of it?

This looks really untidy and confusing as "light rain" actually looks dense as it has twice as many rain drops as it should have?

I have xbmc 10.1 and using cirrus (extended) skin.

It's a clean, default install, I have tried reinstalling and still the static and animated images appear together?

Could any one advise with anything in may be doing incorrectly?

Thanks in advance,

Paddy.

Update...
The bug is not apparent in 10 day forecast view? Only today and hourly views?

WHY GOD OH WHY? this has just broken backwards compatibility with the default xbmc weather scraper and caused code double up for skinners if they want to use both (like me) or users who switch to another skin that doesn't support weatherplus you should still set all the xbmc defaults.

Honestly if people want different sources we should make a separate plugin for each that fills all the normal ones

all the infolabels is on the default infolabel table. (http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=InfoLabels)
I didn't make any new infolabel, so it's not making any disaster regarding default xbmc weather scraper and users using skins not supporting weather.com+, and skinners don't need to double code for that.

Of course, It's the best if I can change weather.fanarecode directly, but i have no idea to make this script to change it. but fortunately, XBMC has another default infolabels window(weather).property(fanartcode) which are so easy to change.

Anyway, I'm just using default, and recommending to use a part of those.

You are indeed correct sir sorry for the fuss, to make it up to you here is an icon for the add-on you can choose to use or not (center of the pictures is a plus sign)

I tested it on Cirrus Extended v2. I also have icon issue that animated and static icon appear together. I think that's not addon's issue, but skin's issue.

@brightsr

Cirrus Extended supports this addon. Thought you might want to add that to your list on the first page.

Great addon btw. Thanks to you and Nuka if he is still around.

I was wondering if an audible alert could be added for various weather warnings (tornado) as I leave my system on pretty much 24/7 and the massive tornado outbreak in my neck of the woods, thanks guys.

Some info Limited and Alert, Video, Map not available now.
But Accuweather.com is covering a lot more cities around the world, and NOAA could be a good option to users who think weather.com is somewhat inaccurate.
