What is strange is everything worked with Avalon for over a month and then it stopped. I will try removing the files and provide an update.
I reverted back to defaultwide and I get the same screen image. Not sure if that helps.
WorldWeather plugin v1.10.0 for MediaPortal 1.3.0 and higher (9 Viewers)

Using the Default Wide skin doesn't really tell you anything...I made this mistake myself thinking that Default Wide supports all updates and is a benchmark...it isn't!
Firstly, overwrite these drivers (attached) into your "C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\Windows" directory and see if this solves the problem.

Changing entries in the WW config alone wont give you the results you want...think of the config as a container reading information that "you" give it rather than "it" containing the information itself.
I've had the error "unable to load data from..." myself and it's likely that either you haven't registered for an access "key" for that provider, or that you haven't entered your "key" correctly (if at all) in the WW config.
Firstly, I'd make sure that you are properly "registered" (if required by them) with all the providers you want to draw information from and have entered their "key" correctly in the WW config. If you don't have their "key" they wont let you "open their door" and will "throw an error" at you. It sounds like you are trying to draw information from a site that wont allow you to because they don't recognize you and think you are a "burglar" without a key trying to break in.
Micropolis' chart in his PDF document (see section 4.8) shows you what information you can get "with or without" registering with each provider (key or no key) ...some providers need you to be registered with them and have a "key" to obtain their info, which needs to be entered in the MediaPortal WW config for it to work otherwise you will get the errors that you seem to have.
I used the files you provide and no change. When I uninstalled the plugin and reinstalled, my location information was preserved. I deleted all the files that were part of the zip file and cleaned the registry. What else am i missing?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
No problem....I know how frustrating it can be.
Did you re-install ver 1.0.0 or 1.0.1?
Please upload your WW skin files so as I can have a look.
Regards.
I have reinstalled with both now, but my last attempt was with 1.0.0 because it does not sound like I gain anything with 1.0.1.
Thanks again
OK...I have your files and will have a look through them later on today. In the meantime, it might be worth downloading the skin files I uploaded tonight for Avalonnis and trying them with your current config and seeing if you get the same errors...it may help in finding out if your problem is skin related or not.
Regards.

The files did not make any difference.
Hi @Micropolis,
Any idea as to why some of the first line of entries in the "Graphical" view never show......
I've checked the skin file entries and everything is fine.

Hi @schumach,
I've had a look at your skin files and they are returning data on my machine, although the layout is a bit of a mess. Having had another look at your entries in the config, you have the "Enable Background Mode" selected......
Uncheck this box and I'm pretty sure this will solve your problem. This is only selected if you don't want a dedicated section in MP for the weather but want to have certain customized entries for snippets of weather info in various windows. My skin files should work with Avalon but you may have to change some of the "*.png" entries in the skins.
