Intro:
The script contained in this file is designed to supplement the
weather information available on your XBox by providing an animated
Doppler Radar display for the last hour. This script draws information
from the Weather Channel's website and currently only works for U.S.
zip codes.Important Note:
Please note that, although the "Change Range" button offers you the option of Short Range or Long Range Doppler, the Weather Channel does not provide Short Range (300 mile) images for all areas. If you switch to Short Range and those images aren't available for your current area, the script will inform you of this. Simply switch back to Long Range.
Installation Instructions:
In order for the script to run properly, you need to create a "/scripts/XRadar/" folder in your XBMC directory, with subfolders named "pics" and "temp" that will contain image information. Copy "XRadar.py" into the XRadar folder, and copy all of the included PNG image files into the "pics" subfolder.
XRadar also uses a pair of libraries called xWidgets and Config which are included with this file. You can either place "xWidgets.py" and "Config.py" in the XRadar folder, or copy them into the "/python/Lib/" folder in your XBMC directory, to make them available to other scripts. Many of my scripts will rely on both of these libraries.
