[mythtv-users] MythWeather

[Rich West]

Oh, and I installed the qt-devel RPM, too.

I did get it working.  I'm still trying to figure out the interface and 
the logic behind the scripts directory.  I'm having a heck of a time to 
display something local (closest thing it will find, it seems, is a near 
by city).

One little peeve is that the interface (GUI) does not work like the rest 
of the Myth GUI.  You have to use the "menu" button on the remote to 
continue/save as opposed to the way the rest of the MythTV interface 
works by navigating to the "Finish" or "Next" button.
