Media Center Plugins Part 3: mceWeather
Who wants to watch the news or the weather channel just to wait and see the local weather forecast? Not too many people. That’s where mceWeather comes in. mceWeather is a customizable Windows XP Media Center Edition plugin that allows the user bring up weather forecasts as well maps for weather patterns all over the world.
Although this MCE plugin does not directly change how MCE PVR / DVR users watch TV, it is none the less handy to have instant access to weather forecasts.
One point worth mentioning is to make sure that your Media Center Edition PVR / DVR is up to date with at least Media Center RollUp 2 installed. There is a known bug that causes the program to hang for several minutes if you try to search for a city.
The mceWeather plugin can be downloaded from the projects web page.
