Just Checking as updating support for this addon. I've used the attribute

Code:
<textcolor>$INFO[Window(2600).Property(Alerts.Color)]</textcolor>

Will this work ?

This will work.

Thanks. Testing with "beta.1207.zip" & all is working. Managed to get today's Weather Alert for Scotland with Wunderground.com Smile

So next update of Convergence (v3.1.2) supports weather alerts & multiple video choice.

Many thanks brightsr for adding Hungary. However, when I start the video, it is the accuweather europe forecast video which starts. Am I doing something wrong?

I also noticed that:
- wunderground shows very low temp for Budapest (-14C) which is surely not the case
- weather.com doesn't show actual temp (it is always 0C) for Budapest
- accuweather seems to be accurate

No, my mistake. I'll re-upload a re-packaged zip file soon.

Codes for Hungarian video and "auto" accuweather language option were missing in the last beta package. sorry about that. plz try this.

strange.. It works pretty properly for me. every provider shows 6C(43F) now.

**olympia** · 2011-12-08, 20:39

-15C for me now with wunderground Smile

not sure it helps, but here is the log:

@ Olympia

please try to overwrite this file in the folder of "weather.weatherplus"

link : http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/files/...rClient.py

**olympia** · 2011-12-08, 21:02

It doesn't make any difference, let me know if I can do anything to debug this.

...and thanks for the video fix! It works now! Smile

Hi brightsr

Is adding other providers something you're interested in doing? Or having someone help you do?

In Australia there's really only one weather source worth having, our Bureau of Meteorology. Everything else sucks for down here.

Per this thread I have started hacking away at this, but only basic so far - http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=116524

The BOM have a shocking, poorly documented system. The hard part is mapping locations to BOM IDs and then finding the data based on those IDs. But if you have that, there is quite a lot of data, including radar overlays etc etc.

Anyway, just thought I'd touch base and see what you thought. Apparently you're the expert and I have pretty much zero python skills...

I'm always interested in adding a provider if it is really needed.
I know the best provider would be a national provider which can cover whole locations of a country and give more accurate or significant weather information.
If you want to make an weather addon cover current weather and simple 4 day forecast which is the standard of XBMC, it's the best to develop your own addon. But you really want to cover more information like Weather+ does, I can help you code to fetch and parse the provider's website, and I'll be willing to merge your code into Weather+.
Anyway, it seems that you have a trouble with getting location ID or something like that. I'll investigate and give you some idea.
Cheers!

P.S I'm really not a expert, too. Sad
