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

You could just enable the extra button opposed to changing the skin.

Settings > Left column: Skin Settings > Scripts > Enable Quick Launch Script Button for Weather

Enable the button
Set button lable which I use "More Information"
Set Script path

That basically gives you a button in the weather screen you can click to bring you to TWC so you can still change the location fast from weather if your like me and switch to 3 different locations often.

That's in mediastream? I'm pretty sure that option wasn't there when i originally modified it for this but who knows.

I just checked and the button settings mentioned by Kizer are included in the PM3.HD skin but no such option exists in Mediastream. The functionality however is along the lines of what I would like. The suggestion of using keymap.xml would work but won't add an on-screen visual clue and would require entries for keyboard and remote (I am running XBMC under Windows and still am working out the kinks of my remote setup so I still use keyboard control often). Anyone know how/what to modify in Mediastream to get this functionality to display?

Windows.
Add to keymap.xml in <weather>

If you press "i" on keyboard when your in weather and twc will start

You'll want to modify MyWeather.xml. Basically, there should be two buttons, settings, and refresh iirc. Just copy and paste the image control of the one furthest to the right and then change the label to say "More" or "TWC Script" or "More Info" or whatever you want. Then, change the onclick to be XBMC.RunScript(Q:\scripts\TWC\default.py) (or whatever your path and the correct names are).

Now, look at the posx of the two original buttons and see how far to the right the second button is from the first one. Figure this out, and then change your new button to be the same distance to the right of the second button.

Now, change the button id number to something that isn't being used in that window. You're going to need to be able to navigate to it now, so change the <onright> contents of the now middle button to say the number of your new button, and do the same thing with the <onleft> of the leftmost button. Now, change the <onleft> of the new button to go to the ID of the middle button...and the <onright> to the id of the leftmost button.

This probably sounds pretty confusing, but it should make sense once you look at the code

timdog82001 Thanx again works perfect.

No problem. Also, it just occurred to me you'll need to account for the arrows that toggle the weather location as well

Did that

Thanks. Those instructions were exactly what I needed and I now have the button functioning exactly as I would like.

The t3ch build from jan 25, 2009 fixes the problem the xbox had with not being able to exit the script. The back button once again exits the script instead of having to resort to restarting the xbox. Thanks again for the great plugin. It's very useful this time of year especially.
