Ok the zip file has a new MyWeather.xml that scrolls the longer forecasts.

Easiest way to work out how to mod the MyWeather.xml for other skins is to diff the Confluence original MyWeather.xml with the one in my zip and do the same changes for your skins MyWeather.xml

If you change any, let me know and I will add them to the zip for others to use...

im running Eden beta v11 on my ATV2 and just installed and configured this great add on. i restarted XBMC however when I go to the weather section it still shows weather underground. How do I remove weatherundeground so this new OZ weather add on will work as the default? I read this entire thread but didnt see anything mentioned about this?

Thanks

Hmm, it should be just choosing the weather add on as OzWeather in the weather settings. Nothing special about it - have you explicitly chosen it as your weather add on in the weather bit of XBMC settings?

I don't have an ATV2 so can't test that specifically but can't see a reason why it wouldn't work the same...

Yeah the clouds looked evil over Melbourne CBD this morning. Can't believe it's January and they're talking about snow up in the hills.... bizarre!

But I kinda roast in the sun so honestly I don't mind so much Wink

I've jut moved the repo to GoogleCode....you should find both the repo and OzWeather add on update automatically within a few hours...any trouble, just re-download the latest repo zip from the front page and install from that zip and it should be fine from there, but I am pretty confident it will work automatically without that...

There's also a copy of my tweaked Confluence in the new repo - it has only the changes needed for long forecasts in OzWeather and a minor tweak to show time remaining when playing files...

Thanks for the great weather addon. Use this weather source more than any other available through the media. Keep up the great work.
