Weather problem?

The file is a zip file.

I never saw a response on this:

****
First of all, thank you for a great plugin.
Minor quirk, the 'Current' for Baltimore MD comes up as 'Not Available' and the weather graphic comes up as '? Unknown'
Ideas?

If it says this it is probably because this is what msnbc is showing at the moment. It you want to verify, next time you see this in gbovr go to the web and check http://weather.msn.com/local.aspx?wealoc...c:USMD0018 and see what it says. In fact I just checked and this is indeed what msnbc says for Baltimore. Beats my why they wouldn't know; it is a big city.

i know its a zip file but when i open the zip the file doesnt have a file extension so what is it suppost to be? ive tired making it a .exe but that does work

The thing inside the zip should be an exe.

Good point on the MSN error. I posted feedback to them asking for resolution. Thanks for the quick feedback. I didn't realize they pull from weather.com.
Thanks again for a great plugin.

Sometimes when I download from this forum I get a zip inside a zip file where the inside doesn't have an extention, try to call it .zip and open it. Then you should see the exe file. Or you could try to download the file with another browser.

it wasnt an exe for me either but i made it one.. and it just flashes a empty cmd prpmt box.
Ive tried redownloading and everything else... no clue why i cant get it working.

what works for me and it's a little cumbersome, but i use winrar to unpack, that gives me a file with no extention, i give it a zip extension and then unzip as usual. No idea why sometimes it's needed to go through all that but i gave up trying to figure it out and go with what seems to work.

I also was getting the updating weather forecast screen so I tried your fix. Its working now, but the graphics are a little messed up. The print looks bigger and some of the letters and numbers are overlapping each other.
