Tx for this. Using the personal API version worked a treat. I am back to normal with my WU.

Hi, would like to know if you can explain in more detail the process; I have a very basic knowledge about gui - inverted api and that stuff BUT I will love to have the wheather underground working again so if its possible, would you please explain little more about the process? . thanks

[rexxyic4]

Thank you, followed the instructions and it worked first time. Good to have WU back!

[verismo]

Yes ............plugin : (weather.wunderground-personal_api) ...... only in the settings you need to enter your API key
https://github.com/uNiversaI/weather.wun...rsonal_api
registration : http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/

worked perfectly for me, thanks

For those interested in still using the Weather Underground add-on, here is how you can get it working again:

- Sign up for your own API key from the weather underground website, for 500 hits a day it's free.

- Inverted they key (ie. the API key - backwards)

- Use a base64 encoder online (ie. https://www.base64encode.org/) to converted your inverted API key to base64.

- Copy the base64 encoded API key to line that includes:
WAIK = ' ' (copying the base64 encoded API key inside the single quotes)

The file that needs to be edited, is wunderground.py

I just did this and it is working perfectly again.

You Sir, are a champion.

Use the personal version mentioned earlier - even easier... No fiddling with the API key required.

I downloaded from the link but only got 4.01, I cant seem to find 4.03. Any help?

Using the link above, https://github.com/uNiversaI/weather.wun...al_api.zip, I got version 4.03. From the addon.xml file:

<addon id="weather.wunderground" name="Weather Underground" version="4.0.3" provider-name="no one">

Thanks that was what I needed. However, when I go to configure the API key within the add-on section, the keyboard it brings up is blank. I cannot enter any values with a remote or with an actual keyboard. Within the userdata folder, the wunderground add on does not seem to have a section for an api key (although I think i am in the wrong place as the date modified is not today).

[dnairb]

The blank keyboard issue is most likely due to the skin, assuming that you are running Kodi Helix.
Not all skins have been updated to be Kodi-compatible. Confluence is definitely compatible.

[westcoastbias]

Yep that did it. Thanks for your help.

Thank you. For those too lazy do complete the reverse and base64 encode steps, if you have a Linux system, just run this two-liner. Replace the characters after the "key=" with your own API key, here I just made up one at random:

Code:

key=9cc49125b91eb85a
echo $key|rev|base64

In this case, it should output:

Code:

Thanks for the instructions. I found out late (I read this thread after I had followed the instructions and fixed it), that you can use linux to do the swap and encode. Thanks for the tips.

For anyone that's interested, I'm using the original 3.0.9 and to get rid of the "broken" status, I guessed that all I had to do was remove the 3rd line from the end of the addon.xml in the weather underground directory (...addons/weather.wunderground):

<broken>This addon is no longer functional. Please select a different weather addon.</broken>

I re-enabled the addon, rebooted, and it's working without complaining about the addon being broken.

I have no idea if that will change after an update, but I guess we'll see.

I'll post back at some point, once I have a better idea if this is a permanent fix for the old addon.

Cheers,

Matt.

Has anyone thought about doing a fork for this and just making the API key a setting in the UI?
