Is there any indication as to when this will be removed from xbmc or in the mean time is there any known workaround to allow users to disable the weather from sending requests as it's currently searching for requests causing "busy" to appear and those requests are obviously using the old non Functioning Api.
Because of this network activity I receive a small but annoying amount of slowdown when navigating the home screen.
Are there any work arounds I could use form the time being..
If this is a skin related issue, just ignore this as I have also posted a request in the skin thread regarding removal of weather too.
Thanks in advance,

Xbmc pre Eden nighties 5th nov
Default weather plugin
Credit to ReducedToZero for finding this.
The quick fix is to modify the relevant bit of guisettings.xml to look like
Code:
Code:
<weather>
<areacode1></areacode1>
<areacode2></areacode2>
<areacode3></areacode3>
<currentlocation></currentlocation>
<script></script>
<scriptsettings></scriptsettings>
</weather>
Just open up guisettings.xml, search for "<weather>" and erase the info that's in there to make it look like the above.
Basically you're removing the settings for the built-in weather app which should cause XBMC from looking up the info.
Being the Dev forum, probably not the best place to post "how-to's", but thought people will be looking here quite a bit for an answer to that question. Apologies if it's out of place.
