i hope you don't mind if i step in for a sec to correct this piece of information.

wundeground has provided xbmc free access to their api and this is a gesture team xbmc appreciates very much.
you can read all about it here:
http://xbmc.org/theuni/2011/12/10/welcome-sponsor-weather-underground/

the problem we had with weatherplus was the fact that it was scraping the wunderground website.

it's like, someone trusts you with the key to their front-door and we would allow someone else to throw in the window to get inside at the same time.
that just didn't feel right to us.

i have discussed our concern about this with brightsr in PM and we have agreed to work together on a way to give weatherplus access to the wunderground weather data.

it's something (besides a dozen of other things) i'm currently working on.
i have it partially working already locally, so if all goes well, weatherplus users should be able to select wunderground as their service provider again in the near future.

When I go to video, for me it still brings up the accuweather European report.

Oh, tv3 webpage has been changed. I'll try to fix it.

Thanks for the update. I tried to put "apparently" in my post enough to convey that I didn't think I had a full understanding. The clarification is much appreciated.

I have moved over to the Eden beta and I can nolonger access weather. I can configure locations but when you bring up the weather page, the location is not listed and if you try and select a different location, you get a busy prompt.

I even tried switching back to the default weather provider (Weather Underground) but no luck.

Here is a debug log

I thought the following picture was something like was weather based aswell (since it says summer)

So am I correct if I say that the picture with the house (the one that i posted a few messages back) is the only weather based background there is?

It's the only one I know, unfortunately. Sad

If you find another one working, please let me know. That should be appreciated.

so you have a problem with Weather Plus, too?


- brightsr - 2011-12-27

@ fional: I've fixed it, but I'm going to make it included to next update in order to avoid too frequent update.

You want a background weather pack?

If you have some condition-based weather background packs, please share the links. A lot of users looking for beautiful weather fanarts, like Ajedi, must appreciate that. Smile
