Great info. More rep for you!

Re: Updated: Big Screen Weather for Vista

It looks quite good. The only issue I am having is that I can't find the ACT (or to be more specific, Canberra) in the NSW/ACT listings.

Re: Updated: Big Screen Weather for Vista

Yeah - I had trouble at first. You need to select the Illawara region I think.

Re: Updated: Big Screen Weather for Vista

Hi Niall.

I agree with what everyone here has said - this plugin is awesome and I use it everyday.

One thing I've noticed is that the graphs don't seem to be up to date all the time for the current day. For example, if I look at todays data, it seems to be missing the last half a days data. I know this may be the way the BOM keeps it's 'historical' data, just curious.

Cheers - and well done (can't wait for the updated Big Screen Business either!!).

Hi -
I think all the region/district names are based on the naming BOM use in their data feeds (and I think the region where Canberra is shares NSW locations as well). (If) I make a new version I will look at putting some nicer names in for these places..

Hi -
Just download the .zip file - unzip it somewhere and run the included .MSI setup file.

After you do this it will be available in the Program Library section in Media Center.

You can also pin it to the main menu (in Online Media strip) - if you press the info button while you have the addin tile focused (and select the appropriately named action).

Niall
