Certain plugin themes are able to show local weather. To configure the Yahoo Weather ID to display the weather on supported themes, you can follow the instructions in this topic.
Requirements:
- A theme that supports weather, currently the only themes that support this are Harmony & Chocolate
- Enhanced Home Screen must be enabled.
- An active internet connection to display the current weather forecast.
Configuration:
- Start the Media Browser Configuration Wizard from the start menu
- Click advanced in the top menu
- Go to the “Display” tab
- Enter the correct Yahoo Weather ID in the “Enhanced Home Screen” section and make sure “Enable Enhanced Home Screen” is checked.
(in the above example, the weather code used is for Rotterdam, The Netherlands)
- Close the Configurator and start Media Browser. The current weather is now displayed.
(in the above example, the weather is displayed in the Chocolate Theme)
Additional information:
- The Yahoo Weather ID can be retrieved by using a website like http://www.edg3.co.uk/snippets/weather-location-codes/
- I have configured the Yahoo weather ID but it does not show the weather in Media Browser
