Draco1962 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 @Tom - I have verified that nothing is being reported in the log.txt file on my end and that the weather icnons are indeed not displaying on the theme I have installed presently or other themes with the Weather icon enabled.

MNMax21 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Time to go to weather bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Only if you like bloatware crap! The weather tool is independent of Windows integration. Shouldn't take long to fix hopefully. Maybe it'll be fine before my cab is running even. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNMax21 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Yeah, I hate all the pop ups and what not inside weather bug. It might be better not to have the weather deal work anyways. Not really sure I want to know that it's 9 degrees Fahrenheit out right now in Minneapolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo77 Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I don't know how much would be involved in making it work, but I think Media Browser uses Yahoo for it's weather services. Might be worth checking into. I also know that the Xbox community's Freestyle Dashboard uses an API from WorldWeatherOnline. Their API access is free, and is provided in xml. The problem with WWO is that their licenses are kinda limited. If you intend to use them, you would probably need to get the purchased license for more users. TeamFSD (xbox) got around this by having their users register their own API license if they wanted to use that feature. You simply plug the key into the settings in the program and it would work from there. If you don't want your users to have to register their own keys, then you would need to get the Premium version.
