thanks,

just go into settings and search for you city???

[Anomaly]

hmm i thought i already answered this but my post is gone. anyway, you have to add the section about weather in the.xml file. it's not there at the moment.

i am at work so i can't post the code from mine, but you can hunt around the forum and you are sure to find some. it is written about in the notes that come with the release anyway.

it starts with <weather>...

[ent]

you don't really, a way to change the default weather city is to search using the name of the city, not the code.

[Anomaly]

here you go. read the instructions next time. this is for tokyo.

<!-- get your area code from www.weather.com its the 4 character, 4 number bit after /local/ !-->
<!-- unitt is the units for temperature (f or c) units is the units for speed (k or m) !-->
<!-- refresh is the auto refresh time in minutes !-->
<weather>
<areacode>jaxx0085</areacode>
<unitt>c</unitt>
<units>k</units>
<refresh>20</refresh>
</weather>

[Butcher]

weather hasn't been in the xml file for nearly a month. you can put it there if you want, but xbmc will ignore it. anomaly, seems like you haven't read the instructions yourself.

to set your weather go to the weather settings section and enter your city name.

[Anomaly]

ouch, hey that's not entirely fair. it may have changed in the cvs but the last "release" (yeah yeah i know) has it in the .xml file..... i'm fairly sure as there have not been many this year...berhaps 2 or 3. not in the march one anyway.

it obviously still works in the .xml but i admit that if the most recent "release" has it in the settings then that would be much easier to use.

[tslayer]

umm.. weather is was not in xml file in 3-9 release if i am not mistaken.

it is in settings->weather.

the weather settings in gui was added in february. maybe you forgot to update your xml file and you still had it in there. but it has been in settings->weather since february:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs....her.cpp (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xbmc/xbmc/xbmc/guiwindowsettingsweather.cpp)

xbmc released on 3-9-2004 does not require you to put the weather information in the xml file. ask the developers if you dont believe. check your bt dl and make sure it is the most recent version of xbmc.

i have made a tutorial that tells you how to set it up, with pictures, in pdf format (right click to download).
xbmc weater tutorial (http://www.msu.edu/~shabazz3/mod_box/weather.pdf) http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/forums/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

[b01]

dang! did he have to post his entire xml file?! :(

[Anomaly]

ok... my bad. i didn't pick up the change.
