Weather
As the API from Weather Channel has changed, the XBMC built-in weather forecast vanished from core and from 15th November onwards
it is fully addon based. This feature requires a build from 15th November 2011 or newer that has the following commit included: ConfigurationIn order to use the weather forecast you can specify which add-on shall provide the weather information (by default Weather Underground will be selected). By default, your internet IP address will be used to auto select your location. You can over-ride this and/or provide additional locations from the Settings button off the Home Screen.
Changing between Celsius and FahrenheitTo change between Celsius and Fahrenheit go to Settings -> Appearance -> International and select your location under "Region". Weather ForecastsWeather Underground is able to provide 5 types of weather information and provide you with a overview of the weather conditions within that forecast. Forecast for Unknown LocationsWeather forecasts for smaller cities/villages/communities locations outside of America/Canada, for example in Europe may or may not exist on the weather service you're using. The only thing you can do then is select the closest larger city/village/community. Weather fanartThis allows you to show different images depending upon the current weather conditions. So, you can have background images of rain when its rainy, clouds when cloudy, etc. There are 800 images in all, which will change in the background according to the weather conditions and time of the day.
This is graciously hosted by a XBMC user, and offers various options for the pack download from .torrent to .nzb and included direct downloads.
