Custom weather icons?

doestergaard · 2011-08-08 15:54

Hi guys! I'm building a skin and want some other weather icons than the default ones. Would it be possible to use customs? If yes, what do i have to do?

Thanks!

Put then in a separate folder in your media folder and label them the same as the default XBMC ones, then use something like this for your code -

PHP Code:

<icon>$INFO[Weather.FanartCode,NAME_OF_WEATHER_ICON_FOLDER/,.png]</icon>

Don't which xml file to put them in?

Have placed the code in Home.xml, and located my folder for the custom weather icons, but it's still showing the defualt ones?

Once again, thanks for the help!

And what happens if you remove your code?

Then you haven't replaced the right bit.

Have been trying all day without any results, could you please help me? Smile

maybe a silly thought of mine...but if you could pastebin the entire code
we may be able to point out the issue right away...

alternatively, we could also go on guessing for weeks ;-)

btw, checking your debug log may also provide some pointers,
mostly (not always) an error is being logged when xbmc fails to load some texture.
