Hi, 
I followed the procedure on the site, but I cannot activate the skill in 
the state because I have this message that appears.
" There was an error parsing the feed. Please ensure that the feed is valid 
JSON or RSS."
It's a new weewx 5, the xml is well generated.
 I try to modify it according to the instructions but nothing works. 
if you have any ideas?  
thx.
