Replying to [comment:9 maverik044]:
> To meet the terms of the weather.com SDK for the XML feed, the
weather.com logo needs to be displayed. Technically link to the web site
also. We need to at least get the logo there. I don't think the code
currently supports this, some changes may be needed to display a logo
depending on the data source. Perhaps an option to the script could be
added to provide the file name of the logo to display. I believe that I
have packaged the logo in icon4.zip.
Yes that's on my to-do list - actually I was thinking of passing out the
name of the logo image as both cclogo & fclogo (current conditions vs.
forecast) plus ccprovider & fcprovider with value "weather.com" or
possibly "Weather data provided by weather.com" (to keep it generic and
allow other scripts for other providers to use different wording to comply
with their licensing terms).
Also seeing as no-one is saying that weather.com has been contacted re an
account for [all] mythTV [users] I'll now drop them a line and see what
they say. As has already been pointed out MediaPortal use weather.com as
their weather provider so I can't see why mythTV can't too. BTW check out
http://www.team-mediaportal.com/content/view/241/5/ for a video (no sound)
of MP's weather system ... interesting (though it's not clear from
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/MediaPortalSetup_Weather whether they're
pulling icons via HTTP each time weather is checked ...)
