Interesting Weather Issue

[MaBo]

Hi,
Finally upgraded my gbpvr machine to the latest version and I must say I´m impressed. Also the new weather maps looks great. But I have an interesting problem. msnbc has changed some of its location codes. That means mine is 13826 (Hengelo, Netherlands). But if I enter that into the weather plugin config it interprets it as a postcode, and thus shows the weather in Ouaquaga, NY. Even funnier is when I add my location throught the gbpvr interface. It shows my city in the list, but then gives the weather in Ouaquaga, NY.

What can be done about it?

Greetz,
MaBo

A feature was added to address this in the last release. From the notes on the wiki site:

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 city 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.

You only need to do this once and it will rememeber the setting for this code from then on.
