you know, i do fully agree with that.
it was the main reason why i gave up on the addon at the time.
the second reason was that there was another weather provider (openweathermap) that could easily provide the same functionality as wunderground.
at the time they provided full unlimited free access to their api, whereas we were getting way over our budget with wunderground.

sadly the tides have turned over the past year and openweathermap has drastically reduced the number of free api calls.
i'm currently in the process of moving the openweathermap addon to a user provided api key system as well.
fact is, there are no weather providers that provide free global extended weather info.

we currently have two options:
1) let users provide their own api key
2) give up on extended weather and stick to the limited weather data provided by the yahoo weather addon.

i have a damn hard time making up my mind on how to proceed.
it goes without saying that if we receive a complaint from either wunderground or openweathermap about our way of using their service,
the addon will be removed without hesitation.

if you want to play it fairly, i could say nothing is stopping you from purchasing a key... for only $3600 dollars a year ;-)

in their defence, they didn't pull the plug. i did.
i didn't agree to a new set of terms they suggested in return for free api access.

(2016-01-02, 01:13)VonMagnum Wrote: I'm guessing this is because they get no money for letting people access their data without advertising or the like to compensate them and having tens of thousands of XBMC/Kodi users checking the weather all day long off their servers was probably kind of drag long-term.

yup, selling weather data is their business and nothing wrong with that.
giving it away for free won't keep their company in business for long.

known issue:
- kodi caches the weather map images, so they'll never get updated

for skinners:
- i probably need to add/change a few infolabels so they match the ones included in openweathermap

Is there any news about this with maps

Seems to have been a transient issue so just sharing as an FYI

thanx, i think i've found the culprit, but it would help me verify
if you could post a log as described in the first post.
