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

Yeah I understand that, just doesn't work with default wide. I got it to work right, minus the Google icon. But had to use PurevisionHD skin. Hope someone gets Avalon working.

Just wonder why nobody is using Weatherunderground - isn't this some sort of OS also?

I think they want money, I sent them an email and this was the response.

Question:
Mediaportal an open source media center has recently lost it's weather feature do to TWC pulling their free .api. Do you offer this service through wunderground.com? What are the limitations if any, for example number of hits per day?

Depends on what they mean by re-distributed, and I don't know about the hyplink requirement.

Ah .. ok. But per definition you are not distributing the data. It's every user fetching it for himself. But I don't want to push for them if google is doing the same . Just wanted to ask.

Anyone with a StreamedMP skin file?

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

I'm just trying to show everybody what the options are? Plus they have a lot of satellite imagery that's animated. Don't know if it can be used, but would be cool, if it could.

I think they are trying to keep it simple. If you had your own you would have to paste it in a directory somewhere. Which I wouldn't have a problem with. But that's not the direction they wanna take.

H Micropolis:
Attached is a text file that lists all weather conditions/codes.

Is there any property skins can use to display backdrops related to the weather conditions? Previously I used an InfoService property: #infoservice.weather.today.img.big.filenamewithoutext.jpg. Is there something equivalent in WorldWeather that would work?

Hmmm, this is not the response they gave me, they will allow use of there data for free, but this comes with "rules" to follow.

These rules are about visability inside the plugin and on MP website (like sponsor) .

I can't code and have no say in who our sponsors are so I can't do anything with it, if somebody that can make those decisions and the knowhow to code wants this info just let me know.
