last night I had an idea regarding this plugin, would it be possible seeing as we enter our location the get our forecast that we could then monitor for severe weather alerts and advisories as well, and if they were to be issued while watching media the alert would pop up on the screen to notify the user. Just a though

i'm probably misunderstanding it, but doesn't it do that already?

the weather.com+ addon does show onscreen notifications for alerts
(unless you've disabled them in the addon settings)

they also show up while watching a video.

The only thing that bugs me is that the weather alerts are displayed at the top middle and covers the library update progress bar.

there's a lot of little dialogs in the skin that can be displayed in that area.
and.. i don't really like showing more than one at the same time...
the only exception currently is the music/video scan dialogs.

in case you're interested in modding it yourself,
open DialogMusicScan.xml and DialogVideoScan.ml
1) remove the Window.IsVisible(InfoDialog) condition
2) add

Code:

<animation effect="slide" start="0,0" end="0,40" time="200" condition="Window.IsVisible(InfoDialog)">conditional</animation>

This addon works really well on all my Windows vista and Xbmclive 10.1 with T! 3.11.5, but have notice 1 issue with the weather alert.

When you have it set to display weather alerts, the timer is dimmed and unchangeable. But when you set the alerts to "off" (no weather alerts) then the timer can be changed.

Work around is to turn them "off" the alerts and then select the time. And then turn the alerts back "on" and it will use the dimmed amount of time to display the alert.

Just wanted to let you know.

Just wanted to let you know.

thanx, but it's not a skin issue ;-)

that's kinda old info,
it's not needed anymore to change those files. :-)

if you get a script error, pastebin your log file
and put a link to it here.

Oh well, does not work for me, I still get the regular weather.
In the settings of weatherplus, there is a line that seems to suggest the installation of a pack but when selected, it does not do anything, Weather always revert to the built in addon

Where are the settings for making it Metric or Imperial?

I live in the US but use Metric (since I am Aussie).

I hate to bother you again ronie but i've a problem with the option:
"Show weather info" in the home menu.

Code:

<setting type="bool" name="skin.transparency.homepageweatherinfo">false</setting>

Activated xbmc freezes on start up and i have to kill it with the task manager.
Deactivated xbmc starts without any problems.
I've tested that several times and its 100% reproducible on my machine.
Because of the freeze there is only a incomplete debug log and no crashlog for xbmc.
When I activate the option while xbmc is already running, it works just fine...till the next restart of course.
Here are the debug-logs:

Normal start - "Show weather info" deactivated
Freeze - "Show weather info" activated
Activate "Show weather info" in xbmc

I´m using today´s nightly and today´s svn-version(1101) of T!.

If you have any idea what´s causing this, would be great to know.

[ronie]

i'm experiencing freezes at startup as well,
see: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/11528

it could be you're having the same issue. to check, could you disable the random items on home and disable the next-aired script.

let me know if you can now start xbmc with the weather widget enabled.

You´re right. After disabling the next-aired script the freezes are gone and xbmc is starting much quicker(79 TV-Shows atm).
It looks like nextaired together with the "Show weather info" is causing xbmc to freeze.
The randomitems-script seems unrelated in my case.

If there is something else I can do to help solve this issue, let me know.

I've only been using XBMC for a couple of weeks so still a noob.
I'm running a minimal Ubuntu 10.04 with XBMC Dharma and Confluence.

I've tried installing this addon without success.

I downloaded and installed the repo from http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/pa...addons.zip
Then System > Add-Ons > Get Add-ons > googlecode.xbmc-addons Add-ons > Weather
Selected Weather Plus and Install
Went to Settings > Weather > Weather and selected Weather Plus
Clicked settings below and select a category for the three map lists:
Map #1 List -> Local
Map #2 List -> Weather Details (Satellite - World)
Map #3 List -> None
Then 'ok' to save the settings

Went to the Weather screen and it's the same as usual.

What am I doing wrong?

Confluence for dharma does not support weather+. Try xeebo or transparency, they support weather+.
