You are limited to 500 weather updates per day. I think the addon updates every 10 minutes so you'll be well under 500. Can I ask, did you have to install a new version of the addon to get this to work?

I downloaded the zip file in the database of XBMC and follow the instructions in this post.

Indeed. I got V4.01 my first download.
I tried again and got V4.03.
That's the latest version with Personal API input.

Thanks.

Debug Log

Honestly I had the same problem. I had transcribed the base 64 encoded API incorrectly. If you aren't doing a copy paste, make sure you copy exactly including the double equal sign at the end. Mine had a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers followed by the double equal signs. I did mix up the letter O and a 0 as well as a 2 and a Z. once I realized that it worked perfectly.

Thanks. Actually it has started working now. I watched a movie last night and noticed that current temp was being displayed so I checked the weather and everything had started working sometime in the past 48 hours. I don't really have a clue why. I had completely given up on the fix and figured I would investigate some new addons this week. Maybe weather underground takes a while to activate new api's. Huh

Just a guess.

Edit: Is there any file I can edit to get the addon to not display as BROKEN?

Yes ............plugin : (weather.wunderground-personal_api) ...... only in the settings you need to enter your API key

Are you saying I need to install a different Weather Underground addon?

RE: Fix for Weather Underground add-on. - Wanilton - 2014-10-20

Yes, one weather underground update version, only need register in addon setting your API KEY.

I think the better way for you sane broken, is delete addonxx database file in userdata. When start Kodi will recreate, and it´s ok for use again.

That didn't work. When I restarted Kodi I just got a popup that the weather underground add-on was marked as broken and would I like to disable.

Edit: If someone could just post a link to the new add-on I could just download and install it.

Quick and dirty, you can do this:

Edit the wunderground.py file and replace these two lines. Still need an API key.

Line 6: WAIK = '[PASTE YOUR API KEY HERE]'

and

Line 10: url = WUNDERGROUND_URL % (WAIK, features, settings, query, fmt)

Removed the base64 Decode and Invert. I think you'll still get nagged that the add-on is broken when/if it checks.

Thanks, this worked for me.

I get a Error: Script Failed

@wgstarks, what does the log say when you get the script error?

Looks like your edits from above are causing the errors.
