- Sign up for your own API key from the weather underground website, for 500 hits a day it's free.
- Inverted they key (ie. the API key - backwards)
- Use a base64 encoder online (ie. https://www.base64encode.org/) to converted your inverted API key to base64.
- Copy the base64 encoded API key to line that includes:
WAIK = ' ' (copying the base64 encoded API key inside the single quotes)
The file that needs to be edited, is wunderground.py
I just did this and it is working perfectly again.

Followed the above solution, but without sucess
RE: Fix for Weather Underground add-on. - XieniX - 2014-10-18
Thx for the fix, now I kan use again a personal weatherstation 100 meters from my home.
For the lazy ones for the inverted apy key, i have used this site: http://textmechanic.com/Reverse-Text-Generator.html
With XBMCbuntu the wunderground.py is located at
/.xbmc/addons/weather.wunderground/resources/lib
Edit with nano and you're done

There is another fix, thanks to cw-kid for pointing it out

https://github.com/uNiversaI/weather.wunderground/tree/personal_api
In the new WU addon settings simply enter the api key as is, no need for inverting, base64 encoding or editing of python files.
Restart XBMC when finished and weather will start working again.

I'm actually using my own personal weather station for XBMC, which is on my roof! Can't get any closer to home than that. I send personal weather station data real-time to Weather Underground - ID: KMDBELAI1. (www.weather-station.org)
Gives me a free yearly membership for providing the data, too.

For the people who are confused with the api key registration on weatherunderground.com I have used this info for my registration as example.[/align]
Project Name: Raspberry
project website: None
project contact name: "My own name"
project contact email: "My email adres"
This has worked for me...

Downloaded the zip, but can't find anything in settings to enter API. The inverted then encode to Base64 method did work though.
Can you point out where in settings the API should be entered?
Kind regards.

You can find it within the WU settings, it should be there.
Fix for Weather Underground add-on. - R0ss0 - 2014-10-19
Worked like a charm! It's really important to be sure you transcribe correctly. Even though I was taking my time and thought I double checked my self I still mixed up z's and 2's and even a 0 and a O. Once I put the base64 data in then .py file correctly everything worked perfectly!
RE: Fix for Weather Underground add-on. - wgstarks - 2014-10-19
I couldn't get this to work. Got the api no problem. Reversed it. Encoded to base64 (utf-8). Added that to wunderground.py. All I get is a constant Fetching forecast info.
Debug Log
RE: Fix for Weather Underground add-on. - mzeyrek - 2014-10-19
seems there is a prb with WU, i even tried to uninstall and install again giving broken repo error. I was able to find v4.0.1 from http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/addons.superrepo.org/v5/addons/weather.wunderground/ and able to install however constantly fetching forecast ingo as well.
RE: Fix for Weather Underground add-on. - elviejo - 2014-10-19
Works perfectly, my only question is the 500 hits to get the key, how that works?
