My wife just asked me what the weather is doing. After telling her to look out the window I realised it was dark and turned to XBMC.
There seems to be no data in Weather Underground. I am based in Christchurch NZ and there is certainly info on the Weather Underground web site for my area.
Is there some known problem with this addon?
I can of course follow my own oft given advice but the family are using the clients at the moment and turning on debugging, rebooting, etc would have undesired consequences to my precious bits.
Openelec 4.2.1.

No I hadn't seen that, nor did I realise the wunderground addon had its own debug option. I'll see how it pans out.
Thanks.

Actually yahoo also supports conditional weather but maybe only in default skin, idk.
I managed to ge WU working again but requires own
CORRECT user api key
I dont understand python at all but that doesn't stop me from trying to fiddle with
https://github.com/XBMC-Addons/weather.w...rsonal_api something martinjn was working on,
Result is
https://github.com/uNiversaI/weather.wun...rsonal_api which I have submitted a PR,
However
For that to be merged into mainline, that code needs to also work when user inserts incomplete/wrong key so you get a pop up. Atm my tree it only works when
correct user api was entered which is not really acceptable. And I dont really have the full skills to do this.
If anyone can help fix
https://github.com/uNiversaI/weather.wun...rsonal_api so it covers all scenarios then we all have better chances of getting the WU addon back...
Else it is as is, I cant do any more without some expert help.
Just posting this here hoping some better python person or pyhton expert takes the challenge on and helps everything go back to normal. So if you just leeching dont complain.

I think Ronie has had enough of dealing with WU so it won't be back as an official add-on.
If people still want a WU add-on then it'll probably have to be as a community maintained add-on for which you have to provide your own api key, so would need someone to step up and ask Ronie if they could take over development as an unofficial add-on.

Ronie as already spoken.
https://github.com/XBMC-Addons/weather.w...t-59216956
So whoever wants Ill leave the tree up, but personally dont have the skills to do any better and not going to waste any more time anyone wants it its there.
If anyone is interested take it and use it just dont complain about any of it
Im not maintaining it or doing anymore to it either
I have taken this one step further @

Consider this dead horse flogged and goodbye WU addon you shall be missed.

I've been playing with the "open weather map" addon, seems like an option but needs some skin support I think.
