hi guys,

is it possible to get long term forecast for this addon? i would like to see 7 days instead of 4.

Though I noticed that long term forecast on worldweatheronline.com is 15 days instead of 7. Is this a reason why its not integrated?

[argh!]

I just reinstalled XBMC and when I search for cities to add in this Add-on, I get no resutls, no matter what I enter. It worked fine on my old install..

Addon version 1.0.8
Frodo 12.2
Windows x64

city - Fort McMurray, AB.

I am able to find it on the World Weather Online website, but full city name, or Postal Code. Neither of which gives results in XBMC.

I get for a few months an error "script failed!:weather.worldweatheronline". reinstalling the plugins doesnt help. Neither Underground, World Weather, etc are working.

I get no readings. The temperature stays at 0c.

How can i fix this? I am using World weather version 1.0.8. on Frodo 12.2

When i removed the location, it doesnt find my city anymore. Neither if try other big cities like amsterdam. Whats happening?

You could try

It seems that World Weather Online has changed its free API used by the XBMC addon. World Weather Online has also blocked the original account that was used to retrieve information. So, it is necessary to get another user key to retrieve data.

I have already got another key, which i used in the code below. You can use it, or, if you want, you can get you own key here:
http://developer.worldweatheronline.com/member/register

To fix the problem, do this (linux code):

1. change to the addon directory :
cd ~/.xbmc/addons/weather.worldweatheronline

2. Backup your original addon script:
cp default.py default.py.bak

3.Edit the addon script:
nano default.py

4. Find these lines:

DEVELOPER_KEY = "75b745967f114856110511"
NUMBER_OF_DAYS = 4
SEARCH_URL = "http://free.worldweatheronline.com/feed/search.ashx?key=%s&query=%s&format=xml"
LOCATION_URL = "http://free.worldweatheronline.com/feed/weather.ashx?q=%s&format=xml&num_of_days=%i&key=%s"

5. Replace by these:

DEVELOPER_KEY = "xqm663h7z67etx9bku8k8rbn"
NUMBER_OF_DAYS = 4
SEARCH_URL = "http://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v1/search.ashx?key=%s&query=%s&format=xml"
LOCATION_URL = "http://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v1/weather.ashx?q=%s&format=xml&num_of_days=%i&key=%s"

6. Save and Exit : ctrl+O ctrl+X

You are ready to go. Enjoy.

P.S. Note that I used my key ( "xqm663h7z67etx9bku8k8rbn" ) in the script. If you prefer you can replace by your own key.
P.S.2 If anything goes wrong, you can restore the original script you have backup.

thanks brasil, i have a slightly different problem now- its just sitting there with a screen that says fetching forecast info [my zip code] and never moves on past that.
any pointers on where to look for the problem?

[Oxize]

Same here.

Weather Underground can fetch forecast info perfectly, but World Weather Online keeps searching infinite. Would be nice if the forecast would work again.

The lines which HTPCBrasil uses dont work for me, i dont get any available information. I get script errors and "N/A" warnings for my location with those lines!

I am using atm these lines.

DEVELOPER_KEY = "Njh2dGpwYWJ1OXg5YW1yY21rbnZiaHBq"
NUMBER_OF_DAYS = 4
SEARCH_URL = "http://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v1/search.ashx?key=%s&query=%s&format=xml"
LOCATION_URL = "http://api.worldweatheronline.com/free/v1/weather.ashx?q=%s&format=xml&num_of_days=%i&key=%s"

But these only give me standard info, and NO forecast.

How can i fix the forecast part? I tried with an own key, but then i get errors and N/A warnings again.
