Req Request for Add on for my Local TV Station/Website WRAL
#1
First time poster, so please be gentle if this thread is in the wrong spot or not appropriate.

I've recently went down the XBMC/Kodi rabbit hole, and I have to say "I LOVE KODI!!!!"

Just amazing what all can be done.

I'm so close to being able to cut my cable cord but I will miss one thing... my local TV stations weather reports.

I started looking into building a scrapper (and if this request gets me no where I guess I'll have to keep at that), but thought it would likely be childs play for a power user here.

My local station's website has a video of their latest weather forecast on this page -
http://www.wral.com/weather/video/1076424/

It is always on that page.

I was hoping for an addon or something to add to my favorites so I can go and watch that video real easy. I was hoping for something that stays in Kodi, but I guess I could use a Chrome launcher to accomplish something similar.

Any help will be much appreciated.

If this isn't the right place to request something like this please feel free to let me know where to ask.

Thanks again to the Kodi team and developers. Amazing stuff guys!!!

Oh, and the other thing that has held me back from cutting the plug was my Wife's love of the Food Network.

Your FoodNetwork Addon was one of the first I installed and totally LOVE!!!

I also have your MeTV and your HGTV addons.

Thanks x 1 billion!

Got it added on... and it works FANTASTIC!

Even better than I had hoped, you pulled in all the news videos they had on.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the great cbs plugin.

However, among all listed cbs programs, I cant find the actual local (in my case WRAL) weather and news, as original poster asked...

Are they available at all under cbs main site, or we need wral local scraper for this.

Not a big deal, I just want to see local weather or news without commercials before work...

Thanks!

I also would like to see my local news and weather broadcasts (Houston, Texas)

I have to use my Roku3 to see them.
