Ronie,

Thanks so much!!! That did it.
[FEATURE REQUEST]

Can the add-on display cloud coverage in %? A three-day forecast including all relevant data, that is temperature, wind direction/speed, UV index, and cloud coverage in % ---not just temperature, which is in itself meaningless?

Is it possible to include a detailed weather widget such as offered by the GlassNox skin?

I did a quick check. and according to this post in the Weather Underground API community numeric cloud coverage data is not exposed via the API. The only suggestion made there was to parse the text forecast and then back into a number of some sort based on things like "partly cloudly." That does not sound fun to me.

There is a fair amount of weather data exposed to skins via the addon, but Confluence doesn't use them all. If you look at the readme file for weather.weatherunderground, you can see what's available. So the level of detail of weather is really up to the skin author.

Just did a fresh install of OpenELEC RC2 and I am having the Celsius - Fahrenheit issue. Checked my International settings an they are all correct: English, Canada, Toronto. is there any other setting I need to be aware of to get C instead of F?

the only setting that matters is: Appearance > International > Region
if that one is set to Canada, you should get temps in C.

if not, we can add this one the list of weird things that only seem to happen on OE :-)
It's fine, I'm a dummy. Problem solved, thanks.
In the last few days I've noticed "script failed" errors for Weather Underground. This has happened in Eden and Frodo installs, on multiple Windows machines. Is something broken or is it a problem on my end? Any idea where to start looking?

EDIT: Not sure why, but I had to delete and then re-enter my location information. Nothing changed on my end, so I'm not sure why I had to do this, but it worked...

1. enable debuglogging in xbmc.
2. enable logging in the weather addon (available in frodo only)
3. restart xbmc and wait for the script error
4. upload the contents of your xbmc.log file to xbmclogs.com and post the url here
Here is mine.

I started getting these script errors after a couple of reboots.

I rolled back to a previous zfs snapshot and the problem persists. So I reckon it might have something to do with WU servers?

yup, you are correct.
it was an issue on their end and should be fixed now:

Thanks for such a great weather display, but I would like to see a legend depicting the cloud cover under the map display. I keep thinking the light blue is clear sky, when it is low/middle cloud. A clear sky is a rather drab color indicator for ground and water features and the legend would help relate to the cloud cover better. Thanks for your work!.Big Grin

this addon only downloads the weather data, it's up to the skin how it is represented on screen.
there's no legend available through the api too btw.
