I have installed the fanart pack by Waffa (also couldn't download the original on rapidshare without a premium account) but nothing appears to be loading - I only see a black screen.

I changed the first 10 folder names to 0-9 instead of 00-09 as instructed above.

Also, I noticed that the folders that are named 'Same as 00' are empty. Is that correct? Also, should their names be changed to show 'Same as 0'? Just trying to figure out why it is not working.

I am trying this on an AppleTV with XBMC 9.11 Beta 2.

Can someone else upload the original timdog82001 package on another upload site?

Just the same problem here - only the black screen; tried to rename folders from 00 to 0 etc, "same as 00" to "same as 0" etc in all possible combinations - no luck. I'm on beta2 with confluence (by default) running on win7x32.
Would be grateful for any suggestions.

re-upped the original fanart pack to a new mirror.

btw, solved the problem with the black screen: the structure of weather-fanart folder should be as follows:
weather-fanart
00
01
02
...
46
47
i.e. without any "same as..."
didn't rename any folders - works so far OK for me. perhaps I'll have to rename the first ten folders as mentioned above when the current weather (snow and cold) changes and I'll need pictures for good weather :-)

Just an FYI, I've updated the weather pack, fixing and adding various things. You can download it in the thread Jezz linked to in the first post (not the direct download link)

Trying to get this to work but for some reason its only showing the fanart in the weather screen and not on the homescreen when weather is highlighted, an ideas how I can fix that?

For some reason it works fine on customizable confluence but on stock confluence the fanart will only show up inside the weather screen
