Normally the plugin just needs to be dropped (copied) into the SC plugin folder. Stop and restart SC and it will appear under 'settings>plugins'. The information you need is at Wunderground. Type in your location and it will give you the local weather. In the box on the left hand side 'Current Conditions' there is a drop down 'Select Source for Current Conditions' and after the location name is a four letter code e.g. Glencoe, MN (KGYL). That is the code the Weathertime Plugin requires. Add it, stop, restart SC and go to 'Player>Screensaver when stopped' and select Weather, Date , Time. Done. At the moment there is a bug if you are running SC7.2 but it works fine with SC7.1. The editing of the XML file (open it for editing in Notepad) is to do with version numbers and is not normally required. -- Heuer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Heuer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2543 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21989 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
