When I read this thread's name I somehow felt that this kind of little plugin has tonbe made by micropolis... YSMP is just right.

Are you using google as your source? That seems to be the best free api available and the best choice for MP I guess. Thismplugin should replace the standard weather plugin delivered with MP in next version!

Re: AW: WorldWeather plugin v0.1.0 for MediaPortal v1.2.0 or higher

Hi MrCrabs,

right, this first version use Google as weather provider. Yahoo is on my roadmap.

Cheers, Micropolis

On 3:4 screen the info on the right hand side and bottom is running off the screen i can only see 2 days of the forcast.
I have setting set to small icons tried auto first.

EDIT i can only see the beginning of the current conditions Tem, Con, Win, etc.

Re: WorldWeather plugin v0.1.0 for MediaPortal v1.2.0 or higher

If that is the case then the skin folder in the zip is incorrect as it is pointing to skin/default not default wide. but it would explain why i'm see the results i see.
