Template:XBMC wiki toc

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.
As of December 4th, xbmc ships with a default weather addon: Weather Undergound. Several alternative weather addons are available in the official repository, for instance World Weather Online and Weather Plus

This feature requires a build from 15th November 2011 or newer and needs the following commit included:

Configuration

In order to use the weather forecast you can specify which addon shall provide the weather information (by default Weather Undergound will be selected).
Additionaly you have to set your location for the forecast. All these can be set in the Settings tab off the Home Screen.

You start at specifying which addon shall provide the data:


Next Step is heading to the "Settings"-button below the provider menu and setting at least on location in there


From now on you'll be able to get your weather forecast by clicking on the weather tab in the Home Screen
