[QUOTE="RubaDuck7, post: 60287, member: 21523"] Is it possible to change the display name for cities? Since the 'international' names used on Weather.com for Finnish cities do not include Scandinavian characters, I'd like to change them, and in some cases use the name of a smaller town close to a city. Would it be possible to include a 'Display name' property for each city in the Setup? Another thing; it seems the plugin fetches new data only when you actually open it. If that takes some time the screen will actually freeze for a while. Would it be possible to a) make sure the weather screen is opened first, then start the fetch or (much better) b) in advance fetch the weather data asynchronously in the background I'm setting up my first HTPC with MediaPortal, so of course I might have missed something obvious in the forums. ;) Hopefully somebody will be able to help.
