[RELEASE] Weather Plus Addon

I hate to pile on here, but this has stopped working for me as well, at least from any city in New York *except* New York city. I live in Utica, NY and this worked until a week or so ago. Nothing I do fixes it. But my other two locations (Raleigh, NC and Cozumel, Mexico) work fine. I tried just about every city in NY I could think of and, as I said, the only one that works is New York, NY. Any chance there is a link to an older version? I'm pretty sure this worked until the last upgrade.

Weather.com has been changed a little bit recently, so I'm fixing it.
I'll upload after my babies fall asleep.

I was very excited reading this thread and seeing that at last there is skilled developer which could help.
If I would have an documentation how to pass parameters, I would try to write plugin - scraper which could read weather info from another service (I've already started learning python but had to stop because I didn't find info how to write weather plugin).

At first i imagine the best would be to use core weather plugin and replace only two pieces: choosing city, and scraping weather data from another provider. But I don't know if it's possible.

Another way is to extend plugin from this thread by creating interface which allow to switch weather providers (plugin for plugin). Of course not all options would be available for all providers.

That's what I've been thinking about.
I'd also like to add another weather provider to this addon.
But it's not stable version yet, so I'd like to make it more stable and then make a step on another providers.

You may edit and adjust this addon for your favorite provider.
As this addon uses default location selector which is only for weather.com, you'll need to make a new selector or modify the bulit-in one.

[UPDATE] v.1.1.18

- Adjusted : Changed format of weather.com overview page.
- Stablized : Improved error tolerence. (if any property error occurs, the property will be shown as "N/A")

Jeez, where are your priorities?

Oh wait, in exactly the right place. No rush. I'll just go fixate on the fact the THETVDB is down instead.

Sometimes, Alert detail may be not available.
It's because weather.com sometimes changes its format of alert page.

my top priority is, of course, a good father.
I updated it. Please test it.

That seems to have fixed it for me. I still get occasional script errors, but if I wait a few minutes the weather info updates fine. I can easily chalk those up to flakey connections to weather.com.

Thanks!
