Question regarding weather advisories: how exactly do they work, and where is the data picked up from? There is a winter storm warning currently in effect for Burlington, VT. I saw the top notification appear for ~30 seconds, and the following text scrolled on the bottom of the screen:

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BURLINGTON, VERMONT: WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BURLINGTON, VERMONT - THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BURLINGTON, VT

Just wondering if this is the normal behavior, or is the text of the actual advisory supposed to appear and scroll at the bottom as well?

it' something i need to fix.
it's currently only showing a brief alert message instead of the full one.

I tested your location, but I didn't see any errors.
Could you uninstall and reinstall it?

Wow! Thanks so much! This is really amazing, and finally makes the weather feature actually useful Smile. Thanks a ton. This should definitely be the default with future versions of XBMC.

Just to clarify. In confluence where (in which directory) do you unzip the files?

dnairb Wrote:I have discovered a minor issue with the GUI - due to user error mainly, but it may be fixable. It is regarding the use of remote left/right buttons when viewing Current Conditions, 36 Hour Forecast and Weekend Forecast:

Current Conditions: "left" opens the settings pop-out thingy, "right" loses focus and navigation is impossible with remote.
36 Hour Forecast: Same as Current Conditions above
Hourly Forecast: "left" opens the settings pop-out thingy, "right" brings focus to the scrollbar, navigation OK with remote.
Weekend Forecast: Same as Current Conditions above
10 Day Forecast: Works OK - Same as Hourly forecast above

I believe I have found a solution to this issue. Bear with me as I detail each file to edit:


36Hour.xml

Change lines 6 and 7, and add line 8 below:

Code:
1    <includes>
2        <include name="TWC.36Hour.Button">

5                <label>31901</label>
6                <[b]onfocus[/b]>SetProperty(Weather.CurrentView,$LOCALIZE[31901] $LOCALIZE[31911])</[b]onfocus[/b]>
7                <[b]onfocus[/b]>SetProperty(Weather.CurrentViewMenu,$LOCALIZE[31901])</[b]onfocus[/b]>

7                <[b]onfocus[/b]>SetProperty(Weather.CurrentViewMenu,$LOCALIZE[31900])</[b]onfocus[/b]>
8            </control>
9        </include>


Weekend.xml

Change lines 6 and 7, and add line 8 below:

Code:
1    <includes>
2        <include name="TWC.Weekend.Button">

8                [b]<onright>SetFocus(2000)</onright>[/b]
9            </control>
10       </include>

With these changes, each view appears as the mouse cursor rolls over each button (or each button is highlighted via the remote) rather than clicking on each option. To view the video, click on the option as before. Focus is not lost whichever remote button is pressed (up/down/left/right)
