I had similar problem for Perth, Western Australia but the new zip file worked fine for me. Thank.

Yep, the page did change slightly. A fix is attached.

I can't seem to get mine working...it just sits at downloading weather forecast forever. I set it up in the config. Anything else I'm missing??? I'm using 9516 install. Sorry...I'm kinda new to using this pretty sweet program.

Can you look in the gbpvr.exe.log file and see what errors are listed? The plug-in hangs on this screen if there is an error during the download.

Although "si", This seems to only work for Celcius vs Fahrenheit.
There's still a mix of SI and inches, mph --
(Note that such errors -especially in the forecast texts- are also present on the website).

Is the SI setting supposed to fix this ... Or is the weather channel at fault ?

Jeff: some time ago, when I looked into the "Details" and it says "Chance of Rain: ...". I looked outside and it was snowing. I thought MSNBC has funny forecast. Now I just realized that "Chance of Rain" is in the plugin. I suggest you change it to read "Chance of precipitation (ot precep)".

Thanks for the plugin and the support.

Hello, yesterday we had a pretty good snow storm here and I noted that the Weather plugin show our weather as being "Severe Snow" - I had never seen anything "higher" then simply "snow" before.

It seems that the plug in didn't have graphics for that situation, just a missing graphic symbol.

If you look in the gbpvr.exe.log file there should be an error message telling you what the xtact fprecast text was for which the plug-in could not find an image. As tipster said, if you post it, I will up the plug-in to include it.

Pretty annoying mixing the units like this. You'd think the MSNBC programmers would have noticed by now!
