It does.
It says that it won't work anymore unless some one is gonna pay for the use of the API

@brightsr Smile

Over here, I've been taking a quick look at getting the weather to work using only Weather Plus for the skin I use after the death of the Weather Channel API.

In trying to repair condition specific Fanart I noticed that in xbmcplugin_weather.py around line 533/534 (under _accu_36_forecast) for Accuweather it looks like there's a 'missing' (for what I need at least)
Code:
self.WEATHER_WINDOW.setProperty( "Current.FanartCode", os.path.splitext( os.path.basename( extras[0][10] ) )[ 0 ] )

I can add it locally but it would be more usefully added properly, any chance? Smile

does this mean that weather is gone all together, my standard weather is not working either?

I am running the following:

Dharma latest SVN
Neon latest SVN

Ah, self-entitlement is thick with this one. Yes let's tell the addon dev that he is a wuss for not finding a illegal hack to work around a pay-for API. Genius clearly. Pretty sure we don't see you providing anything remotely helpful to find a workaround other than chest thumping and keyboard bitching.

If you look around the forums, some people have found a workaround already. Perhaps instead of your "I demand" nonsense, you use the search function and find the posts that explain how to get weather information back.

Or, if that's too much trouble, you provide the $60 a month subscription fee to Brightsr or Team-XBMC to use the Weather.com API. No? Then quit demanding something you get for free through no effort of your own.

Sums up everything we need to know about you. Which is nothing worth noting.

On another note.
Thanks 'Zero for letting Big_Noid in on those changes. Updated Nox and got info back no problem.
