[RELEASE] Weather Plus Addon

schumi2004 · 2012-04-29 15:15

Is this plugin still updated?

I tried the fix mentioned , removing 128x128 from code, but still no weather icons.
Any suggestions?

I don't think so. The author indicated a little while back that he doesn't have time anymore, and I haven't heard anyone step up to maintain it.

Though the wunderground addon guys are making good progress, the addon doesn't work well with the skin that I use so I still generally use weatherplus. With that in mind, lately I've been getting some script errors when with version 3.0.1 using noaa.gov as the source.

Looks like maybe NOAA has optimized their output and is only spitting out seasonal precip types. Here's a quick patch to accomodate:

I suspect the 'thunder' stanza might need a similar change this winter...

i hope someone continues this addon its great , would be a real shame, or incorporate its features into wunderground , one or the other dont matter Wink

argh! · 2012-05-16 01:32

I'm having some trouble getting this addon to display.

I install it, and it's listed as Enabled. But when i select Weather from the main menu, i still see the default Weather Underground forecast. I fllowed the install instructions but I still cannot see Weather Plus.. any help would be much appreciated.

Looks like NOAA has made some more changes that breaks a few things. Here's is a patch against weatherplus v3.0.1 to get things working again (cumulative with the patch I posted on 6 may 2012...):

There's still some weirdness with a missing icon or two that I haven't yet fixed (mostly because I haven't bothered trying to understand how NOAA icons get mapped to XBMC icons) but this patch should be sufficient to stop the script failure messages when using NOAA as the weather source...

sector72 · 2012-07-10 06:02

Another small patch for the NOAA stuff. This one fixes alert-fetching and the current condition icon. Diff was generated against the patched noaa.py from my July 7 post so you'll need to apply that patch first...

Can someone please post an update to the repo that incorporates these patches? Manual patching is not for me and I imagine not for a lot of folks who would like to make use of this fine add-on.

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/welcom...derground/

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.

Is there any news on this? I love the extra functionality weather plus gives, but currently it doesn't work at all in the UK. If we could use the wunderground data then that would be perfect.

well yes, as promised above, i've added a module to the wunderground addon that can be used by other addons to fetch weather data from the wunderground api.

if anyone wishes to use it, shoot me a PM and i'll help you out
