What I find odd is when selecting a background for the weather the Firestick has no conditional weather but the the Z8 does.

Does anyone know why? Is there a solution?

@chrissxuk , I am not sure what might be the issue here, as it is the same Amber version in both devices.  Do you have a weather fanart image pack addon installed in both devices? Do you have the addon script.image.resource.select installed in both devices? The lack of one or both of these in the device that is not showing conditional weather is the only scenario I can thik of that would prevent showing conditional weather backgrounds.  Please let me know.  Thanks.

Here is an update. As I was unable to determine if I had the script.image.resource.select installed on my Firestick I decided to download it and install. When I executed the zip file it said updated rather than installed so I guess I had this all the time. I also installed another weather fanart so now I have two. Unfortunately I still do not have the conditional weather option when selecting backgrounds. Although as I said previously I am running the exact same versions of Kodi and Amber on the Firestick and Z8 Kodi was obviously installed differently. On the Z8 Kodi was installed via Google Play Store but as Kodi is not in the Amazon Store I used a Troy Point tutorial where he had a link to the latest version of Kodi.

@chrissxuk , thanks for the update.  Just to confirm, if you go to Settings, Amber Settings, Advanced, do you have the name of a weather fanart image pack addon where it says "Weather Fanart", as in the screenshot below? Your weather fanart image pack addon does not need to be the same I am showing here, but one must be selected in order for the Conditional Weather background option to show up.



Of course, in order for the conditional weather to show up as background for any menu item, you need to select it for that menu item, like the following:












I suppose you already went through those steps, I just want to confirm.  Please let me know.  Thanks.

I made the change on the Firestick and the conditional weather works now, thank you.

I am puzzled by one thing though. My weather service is Yahoo and when selecting the weather from the menu it gives me 4 or 8 day forecast which is normally very accurate. But if add the daily weather from the default shelf in settings I get an 11 day forecast that is completely different. What is determining where the shelf default weather comes from?

@chrissxuk , could you please post screenshots of the differences? The shelf info comes from the same place as the weather info on the menu item.  Perhaps you see them as different because the shelf has the low temperature first and then the high temperature, whereas when you click on the weather menu item, the high temperature is shown first and then the low for each day? Thanks.

Also, the shelf will show up to 15 days of weather for the daily weather.  The weather menu item only has the options for 4-day or 8-day daily weather.

I did post the shelf it was in my previous post. Here are screenshots from my Firestick today. Originally I thought the temperatures were different but they are not the difference is in the weather icons. According to the forecast on the shelf there is rain on 1 of the next 7 days but according to the weather screen there is rain on 4 of those days.
