[RELEASE] The Weather Channel (TWC) - Supplemental Script

Is there a download?

It's in svn the addons svn, but if anybody uses osx, it's broken in svn.

i have a fix, but need to test it.

use the svn repo installer to grab it or svn client, link in first post

OSX now works.

here is the svn installer.

so if you figure out how to grab the correct page, your set.

When you click the English/Metric link it sets cookie values. My cookie is:

UserPreferences: 3%7C%20%7C0%7Creal%7Cfast%7C1%7C1%7C1%7C1%7C-1%7C%20%7C%20%7C%20%7C%20%7C%20%7C1%7CBusinessTravel%7C%20%7C%20%7C%20%7C%20%7C%​20%7C%20%7C%20%7C%20%7C%20%7C%7C

The links call a JS function named setUserPreferences:

Metric:
setUserPreferences(5,1);
setUserPreferences(6,1);
setUserPreferences(7,1);
setUserPreferences(8,1);
setUserPreferences(15,1)

English:
setUserPreferences(5,0);
setUserPreferences(6,0);
setUserPreferences(7,0);
setUserPreferences(8,0);
setUserPreferences(15,0)

5 -> English(0) vs Metric (1)

But I can't see where the others are used. There must be an included script that generates the weather summaries that uses them. I assume they represent temp (C=1/F=0), wind (mph=0/kph=1), visibility (miles=0/km=1), and pressure (mb=1/in=0).

This script is awesome, especially with PM3.HD integration

Thanks Nuka!

thanks and your welcome,

jeffbacon, good info, maybe if the user supplied there own cookie i could use that, i have no way to click that link. i'll play around later.

new update, adds avg info for weekend for days expired.

any chance we can replace the default Weather screen with this?

In whatever skin you're using, you could point the weather button/item to this script instead of where it normally points to by modifying the XML

(even though I'm posting a lot on metric integration the script rocks already)

If that UserPreferences cookie doesn't have the city code in it (which I don't think it does as there's a LocID cookie with that in it) then maybe you can hard-code a UserPreferences that has metric set.

Great work!!! I really like it alot! Thanks again for all your Hard work!
