    what is the problem that everyone get theyr own personal API key to use ?

    The problem is that every user of MediaPortal has to go to an english website and create a user-account to request and API. Not really user-friendly...

    There are always webpage translators Free Website Translator. Online Website Translation. Google usually has the option next to the link when you search from another country other than the language written on the page.:D

    Last.fm and trakt are used for keeping order in your music and tv-series and can be used to show what you have listened to/watched. A weather-plugin should just work. No fancy-pancy, settings about chosen cities should be stored in MediaPortal.xml and that's it.

    Requiring the user to sign up for an API-key is overly complicated and another (new) barrier to start using MediaPortal. A big step in the wrong direction IMHO.

    Yeah, but if it comes down to not having any other options that is what is gonna have to be done.

    Ideally the weather plugin will be rewritten so it can use multiple api's, so then everyone can use there favourite site from a drop down box, advantage of this, we can switch to another api in event of similar thing happening when api shut off.

    And should then be easier to keep up to date.

    I like this idea a lot!!!:D

    I would think someone would wanna fix this, it's such a simple and very popular feature. Especially when Mediaportal is trying to get it's name out there. Might as well take the weather part out of the brochure. If XBMC can do it, MP should be able to.

    Been doing a little research about yahoo's weather. Most people complaining about only 2 day forecast. But found this in the yahoo developer forum.

    This only works for US, but somebody outside the US may be able to figure out how to get the international working

    Yahoo! Weather - Error (replace x's with zipcode) and paste in console for full code YQL Console.

    Maybe this will help somebody. Oh yeah notice the provided by The Weather Channel

    Well, currently the plugin shows the sun/moon times in user's local time. As you said, It would require to add time zone parameter to the profile. I'll try to add this option in the next version. PS: please use official thread
