I was wondering if there is anyway of changing where XBMC looks for the weather at. I know back in the day I changed it from weather.com to theweatherunderground.com on the xbox, but I can't find the xml file that has the weather http code in it anywhere with the windows version. The reason why I ask this is because weather.com just doesn't have all the weather locations that weatherunderground.com has. Plus it is easier to use weatherunderground. They also have a doppler as well. Their site is set up similar to weather.com, so it is easy to make the transition to it. So if anyone would help, that would be awesome. Thanks

Thats kind of an interesting question! I think someone around here will be able to answer it for you. But that guy with the left side of his head will tell you that you need a "debuggermachine" thing.
Good Luck!

weather can take any source you want you just need to write a "scraper" for it and the site you want maybe someone else can give you the details on how to achieve this but it is already possible

Is it even possible to give your own search result? Too me it looks hardcoded. If i select my plugin as the provider it will still search and list results from weather.com.
The whole point of this addon was to get more locations; not the data itself..
