I just joined the MediaPortal gang so I am a total n00b but at least I am a quick learner. I am coming from a NMT PopcornHour A-110 so the eye candy and features of MediaPortal and especially this skin are blowing my mind!

I am sure I am just doing something dumb here but I cannot get the weather or RSS to work. I am using R219 downloaded yesterday and I installed the newest version of the InfoService plugin (V0.85) as stated in the X-Factor FAQ. I disabled the MP-RSS plugin but all I get is what looks like variables in both the weather and RSS areas of the skin.

Weather shows things like #TODAYTEMP where the temp should be and the ticker just says #RSS

Can someone point me in the right direction?

:D

That common.basichome.weather.xml fixed the weather. Thanks so much for that!

The RSS is not working still for some weird reason even though I corrected that xml value that still references the old RSS plugin. I can live without it though. I have completely deleted the xfactor skin folder, cache folder and plugin dll and restored them from the original archive. However, when I launch the xfactor config plugin all the values are how I had them before. I can't figure out where it is getting this info. I originally noticed this when I was attempting to re-add the OnlineVideos module that is included in the stock basichome.xml. No matter what I do to try to reset xfactor completely back to default settings, I can't get it to "forget" what I have done. If no one knows where xfactor keeps finding my old config, how do you completely remove all traces of the xfactor skin so I can start over?
