Title says it all! The motivation is that a new installation of XBMC on a bright, sunny California day shows a moon and the sub-zero temperature for New York. Everyone I've ever installed XBMC for has put up with it, instead of digging through settings and plugging in home addresses.
This can be fixed with a "prefered geolocation service" option. XBMC can enumerate the possible geolocation services, and fallback if the prefered one returns null. Or the user could set "prefered geolocation service" to manual, and continue as before.
I'll do some research and list services below. Any thoughts? I got dibs on coding the REST-based ones if this sounds like a good idea!
