Poll : Which weather provider is the best for you?

Weather Plus was originally developed by Nuka1195.
Since it was not compatible with Dharma, I've fixed and been updating this.

This thread is a kind of extension of Nuka1195's thread : http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=52034

[Localization]

Localization of strings in Weather Plus can be achieved by translating strings.xml of XBMC, skin, and Weather Plus.

(Weather Plus) You can translate this latest strings.xml in English of Weather Plus into your language and sharing that here is always appreciated.

(Skin) These strings below can be found and translated in Skin's strings.xml.

Code:
Pressure

Visibility

(XBMC) A lot of strings in XBMC's strings.xml is being translated, and here are strings used in Weather Plus or other weather addons.

I took that from your posted this error "list index out of range" exact the same what I have in Aeon MQ2.

Same Problems since update, not working exept of the standart 4 days.

TugboatBill · 2011-02-26, 19:44

I installed the 1.1.15 and still got the minus errors. I changed it back to the stock weather system and went into weather - negatives looked ok. I then changed back to weather.com+ and now it works perfectly. Big Grin

**dnairb** · 2011-02-27, 00:28

This is one addon I used quite early on with Camelot. Thank you for developing it for Dharma - it works well. (1.1.15 on Dharma with modded Confluence)

**dnairb** · (This post was last modified: 2011-03-01, 23:35 by dnairb.)

I have discovered a minor issue with the GUI - due to user error mainly, but it may be fixable. It is regarding the use of remote left/right buttons when viewing Current Conditions, 36 Hour Forecast and Weekend Forecast:

Current Conditions: "left" opens the settings pop-out thingy, "right" loses focus and navigation is impossible with remote.
36 Hour Forecast: Same as Current Conditions above
Hourly Forecast: "left" opens the settings pop-out thingy, "right" brings focus to the scrollbar, navigation OK with remote.
Weekend Forecast: Same as Current Conditions above
10 Day Forecast: Works OK - Same as Hourly forecast above

How do you get weather related videos? I'm using Cirrus Extended.

It's due to accuweather.com.
I'm fixing and making it more stable.

- Fixed : Europe Forecast Video of AccuWeather.com

Thanks for using this addon.
I knew those problems. But I don't know much about skin things.
Please ask on a skin help thread.
