yeah, like the original hdteev skin in meedio
- vaeanu - 2004-12-30
a tag to display current weather information (meedio style) would be cool. it could used primarly on home.xml... it could be enabled/disabled in xml (cf music overlay).

just fooling around and tweeking some skins and was wondering, can the weather be displayed on the home screen?
so what i want to do (and have seen others ask this as well) is get the current weather icon (sun, clouds) and the current temp on the home screen (autorefresh as soon as you turn to the home screen) and then if you want the full week forcast you go to the my weather section......
can this be done through skinning, or would it have to be a joint effort b/w skinner and xbmc team?
also, i am surprised with all the functions that have been implimented lately (all are cool) no one has come up with a stock ticker, or my stocks page, it could be the same as my weather (not necissarily a tab on the home screen) but where you could input the stock symbol for 5 stocks and it will display the info for you.
hope someone can answer my first question, and impliment my last suggestion. i would myself, but i just got into the whole modify a skin, cant do much else......

i have never done this before (bumping that is), but is there no one out there that has the same interest in getting the weather displayed on the home screen? or having a stock page? guess i am out to lunch
- jmarshall - 2005-01-12
a tip for bumping: leave it a little longer before you do so. people are in different time zones etc. etc.
as for weather on home, this is not currently possible.

jmarshall,
if the items within xbmc were actual objects...

(v.8 is on the python collection page)
as far as the weather stuff on home goes, i'm not sure how easy the threading is to load the weather info in the background (you dont want to steal focus from the gui while doing the http request. i think xbmc has just a single thread for these things but im not sure.

i just like to add that i also would like native support for satellite and doppler radar images in my weather, preferable from the weather channel (weather.com)

- cantelo - 2005-04-24
i use the weather bar in xbmc all the time to check the current and weeks weather i was wondering if there could be an added motion satalite image?? like they do on weather.com?
- Nuka1195 - 2005-04-24
xradar is a script that does doppler radar, maybe it could be modded for different images, ask in the script request forum. http://www.xboxmediaplayer.de/cgi-bin....sf;f=22
then just add a button to myweather.xml that calls the script.
- Godfa7h3r - 2005-06-16
it would be nice to have a little more information available on the weather screen that is compiled into all xbmc builds. having a nice looking and working radar included on the weather page would be awesome and very informative. the xradar script that is out can do this, but it doesn't work all that great and it would be nice to have it intergrated into the rest of the weather information. thanks for the support.
- Asteron - 2005-06-17
i believe there are certain licensing issues with downloading the weather.com radar images but i could be mistaken. it's probably fair use.

any devs wanting to look into enhancing the weather features of xbmc might want to take a look at the progress (and ideas) mediaportal is making in this area:
