Now that looks very cool. How does it work? You get an account on their website and configure your location and then configure the screen saver to pull the updated image periodically? If I had one of the supported players I'd pay for it but I had been using the SB3 I got as a gift years ago and when it died I replaced it and got an extra from ebay. I wonder if your subscription was being used to pay for a premium WU account or was it just accessing the data for free which is probably why IBM decided to cut out the free access. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cafedude's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69033 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107202 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
