[MOD] Weather Backdrop by Current Weather Conditions

CF2009 Wrote:update see 1st post

Thanks for the update, works like a charm.

Updated 1st post with new code

@ CF2009
Your mods are really practical and add a lot of usability to Aeon.
Do you think djh_ will merge them in auriga in the mid/long term?
I think they deserve to be, although the movie genre mod isn't working for me yet (guess i botched up something at somepoint) ;-)

@ bidossessi
I do not think djh will add most of them to aeon at all..

As for the movie genre mod not working here is some things to look at

1) is it on?
(with submenu .. Settings >> Customise >> Mod >> Genre
with out submenu .. Settings >> Customise >> Advanced >> Fanart)

2) are your posters in the media/moviegenre/ folder and are all .jpg?

if you get it working or not post back on the modpack Thread

hello cf2009
Isn't there something missing in the first post ?
I mean, the few changes in include_mainmenu and customisation are not enough to have this mod working, are they?

That would be a pity, for most of them.

Will add my ranting to the relevant post

and find the code below and delete the word Folder and thats it..

Code:

<!--Weather Backdrop by Current Weather Conditions -->
    <include name="BackgroundVarsWeather2">
        <thumb>$INFO[Skin.String(CustomWeather[b]Folder[/b])]$INFO[Weather.FanartCode]</thumb>        
    </include>
<!-- End-->

..

disregard..

On a side note you guys do wonderful work.

nvm .. retried it one more time and it works now

XBMC for PC (XBMC-Rev21304)
Aeon Auriga (9th-june-2009) build

I am trying to implement this MOD,

The first post on this thread says replace "<include>BackgroundVarsWeather</include>" code 3 times in "Includes_MainMenu.xml". However I can see only two occurrence of the code.

I can not get the Weather Backdrop by Current Weather to change. Can this be the cause ?


thanx.
