Looks cool

pure awsomeness =)

Revision 276 fixes the weekend forecast and some minor skin tweaks and adds a autorefresh for maps

Looks great. Just installed it on my xbox (Ottawa, Canada).

- bug: There's no hour-by-hour forecast available on weather.com for Ottawa and when I select that tab it freezes.
(edit: now it works for me, I assumed there was no data and that's why it was freezing but I guess it just froze for some other reason)
- feature request: since I'm in Canada I'd like to be able to view the temp in C and wind in Km per hour vs the F and MPH default

Also, if I'm on the weekend forecast and I press the down key on my remote, the focus moves off the top tab bar but onto nothing and I have to exit the script as I can never get the focus to return to anything on the screen.

... actually, same w 36-hour forecast

i'll check out the 36 hour, but weekend has a button it moves to. toggles details/outlook.

plus a fix for weekend is coming shortly. friday doesn't show when it's saturday. i imagine saturday won't show on sunday.

about the F or C, i only display what weather.com gives. maybe if you give me the formulas, i would consider converting things. not sure though.

edit: ok navigation is broken, will fix.

there's a 'metric' link on the Ottawa, Canada weather network page so there must be some way to source the C data directly but the conversion formula is:

°C = 5/9(°F-32)

ok i missed it, but that would be better. i'll see later.

for now weekend is fixed.

navigation is still broken, don't go down except on the map page. if a skinner reads this could you have a look. i have no idea what it's doing. thanks.

the good news is once you have the metric source it scrapes the same. but there is no difference in the url that i can see.

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