A new update has been posted at http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Plugin/Weather

• Updated plug-in to download all animated maps available from msnbc.com. This should lead to better Doppler radar maps for those users outside of the US. For skinners, there is a new @FrameTime variable available in the map display that will show the time of the current frame snapshot, if available. See the blue skin for an example.
  
  
• Added support for a key mapping file to enable users without colored buttons on their remotes to remap the blue and yellow button keys (and all other keys).
  
  
• Added a way for users to specify that their area code should not be treated as a US zip code. This is only needed for cities outside of the US that happen to use a 5 digit code. If you have tried to add a European or Asian city and a US cities shows up instead, press the “pause” key (control Q). The plug-in will now remember that this city is not a US city and download the correct information. If you make a mistake, pressing pause again will toggle the setting.
  
  
• If you are using SI units, the plug-in will use maps with SI units.

The weather gets used 100% daily in my dwelling.

I agree tipstir!!! I think it was the biggest addition to the WAF, and certainly opened the other doors so I could show her "all" of the stuff GB-PVR does!

BTW Jeff, I don't have Huappuauge (sp?) remote so I am glad to see that I can map the keys!

Here are some examples.

Both additions work very well here. Great update, Thanks!

Works great for me too, I have family scattered around the globe, thanks!

I have only one issue (rather than problem) and it's a msnbc issue. Queenstown NZ, never has a nice little picture showing the weather, it's always "n/a" which shows up a question mark. I don't understand why they can't use the icon closest the time in the RHS panel (which DO all have icons), I can even save the gifs ....

grumble grumble...

Anyway, until msnbc fix it, would it be possible to either have either NO icon, or an icon of choice (like always sunny LOL!), the Q Mark is a bit of an eyesore for me... or can it be stripped off the msnbc page corresponding to the current time....?
