Hi all,
Weather.com is unfortunately very innacurate for us in Australia. The forecast on the same day is often 10 degrees wrong! I don't understand how it is so inaccurate.
But anyhow what I was thinking of doing is finding out what it's scraping to get the weather information, then redirecting this locally to something I create that generates a matching feed with accurate weather. (For example even redirecting weather.com in my hosts).
This way I don't need to mess around with xmbc, and can scrape my own weather from wherever.
Does anyone know where/how the weather is scraped? Is it done from the weather.com rss feeds? Such as: http://rss.weather.com/weather/rss/local...ar=LWO_rss
Thanks.
