Ok, I have no idea why you're doing any of what you're doing.
All those other hubs sh*it - not needed. Rolling back - not needed.
Just install standard xbmc, install ozweather from the official xbmc repo, configure with your postcode (you can actually also use your suburb), done.
If you have an issue post the settings you're trying to use and a full debug log.
(additionally copy the skin files if you want the radar).
That's it - you're making it much harder than it needs to be I think!

OzWeather (Australian BOM weather) | Check Previous Episode | Playback Resumer | Unpause Jumpback | XSqueezeDisplay | (Legacy - XSqueeze & XZen)
Sorry, no help w/out a

Sorry for double posting but I was also wondering if this will work (the full hog with weather radar and extended forecasts) with Kodi Alpha 3?
Anyone tested yet or is that something you may be currently working on @Bossanova

Will be trying out Kodi in a few months I reckon - might wait till the obligatory bugs are ironed out as seems to be the case with EVERY piece of software current day (no offense developers but think Windows 8 as opposed to 8.1).
As I said - I would post back after testing - added fusion source and have TVHub and 0.7.5 all running and so far so good.
Music is my main thing now and OMG!!! Have over 600 artists and the retagging and testing batches is a nightmare but I'm getting there (who knew WMP could re-tag even when options to download additional info from the net are disabled!!).
Thanks for the reply

I upgraded to Kodi Helix Beta 1 from Xbmc whatever-the-lastest-stable-was the other day and I all I seem to be getting is what looks like the default Confluence weather. I'm using OpenELEC and I just did a "normal" manual upgrade without changing anything else. It was working fine before the upgrade.
I can see the modified MyWeather.xml together with DialogSeekBar.xml in the Confluence folder so I have no idea where it's getting the default weather page from.
Any ideas?

I would guess you're not pointed at the right skin somehow (the one with the changes). I tested with an alpha less than two weeks ago, so I think there shouldn't be any other reason (e.g. if they changed a skin filename or something - very unlikely!).
Are you using a modified confluence or the default? on OE you have to take a copy of the skin, give it your own name, and change those files etc. But it sounds like you've done that in the past?

I can't remember if I'm using a copied version of confluence or not - it's on a Raspberry Pi so not sure if that makes a difference to the read-only bit. Whatever the case, it was working very well until I went to Kodi.
More troubleshooting to come...

If you're using Openelec, I don't think there is any other way than copying confluence as the system bit isn't editable. See the wiki.
I have a Helix skin in my repo which is Confluence with Ozweatehr and a couple other minor tweaks. There's a warning abou tit being my personal skin but there's nothing much special about it so you could copy that, or use that even (all my friends and family do!).

Cool, I'll give that a go.
Update: Your skin works a treat. Background image is cool too. Thanks!
Still have no idea why my confluence skin worked in Gotham but not Helix. Not too fussed now though.

Brilliant! Thanks again.
The fact that I didn't do anything when upgrading to Kodi (and thus Helix) probably explains why the weather went back to default. I didn't realise that the Helix skins were updated and the Gotham ones were incompatible.
Cheers
