Hi all,

Need some help here.

I'm running XBMC (Dharma) on OpenElec with Confluence skin and trying to get this add-on working but i'm unable to find the location to replace files as instructed in startpost.

Thanks in advance.

I don't know if it's been mentioned before, but Weather Underground has an API for their data...info on it is here: http://wiki.wunderground.com/index.php/API_-_XML

The TOS says no mobile apps or commercial usage, but I think XBMC falls outside that scope.

Might be a good option for provider in addition to Accuweather and NOAA.

I'm having the "video weather outlook" grayed out problem again. However, it is on a new XBMC machine i'm building. I looked at the settings.xml file and as you can see the

<setting id="video_type" value="0" />

value is at "0" not "1". Changing it to 0 fixed my problem before.


It was working when I first installed the plugin. The only thing I can think of is that I installed the small weather map icons and that maybe broke it. I just don't know.

Any ideas? Here is the pastebin of the settings.xml

Weather Alert seems to be phrasing wrong.

I'm having the same problem. I posted this by accident in the other thread.

This is in the alert section.

Downloading of the large map icon pack keeps failing. So, I manually downloaded the zip file and placed/extracted it where I wanted. Now, how do I tell the addon where the JPG files are located?

I'm using Aeon MQ 3 on a pre-Eden nightly.

Thanks all for using and loving this addon.

No worries brightsr, do what you need to do Smile

You've done a great job at keeping this plugin up-to-date with all the new things weather.com and other sites keep throwing at you with the changes.

I'm sure I'm correct in saying we all thank you for working on this when you can.
