Comment:
I don't regularly use MythTV's weather plugin, but I do use mythweb's, and
I was able to kludge together a working update that uses Yahoo Weather's
XML feed. It's easy to parse, but only has forecast data for two days in
the future (I think MSNBC used to have 5 days). The relevant URL for me
is [http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=USOH0212]. The XML format
they use is well documented at [http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/], so
you won't be surprised by any changes they might make, and this fiasco
won't happen in the future.
