I'm using the FernetMenta repository, and I'm not really sure I like it. It's awfully bleeding edge. I just updated the other day, and now the weather widget no longer works, and probably a few other add-ons are not working. But maybe FernetMenta is not the problem. I'm open to advice on my repository options and what I should be using.

If weather underground is not working, then its the same for all the rest of us.

What's the difference between the official repository and the FernetMenta one?

Ah, never mind. FernetMenta is 14.0 beta, while the official repo is 13.2. Once 14.0 is officially out, I'll probably switch to the official repo as it's probably more stable.

Best reason I had for using Fernetmenta's branch was proper multi-monitor support under Linux. This is in mainline now though so I'll probably switch to the official ppa once Kodi goes to a release candidate.

FernetMenta branch is more and more nearing master as his fixes/improvements are merged. You could still use his to have latest fixes/improvements and help us test it before it goes to mainline.
Up to you what you feel safer to use.
