Weather for SageTV and Gemstone

I tried with the UI file built in and with the Full UI plugin. I'm sending a screenshot of my weather page, the GWeather properties file and the sage log. Hoping someone can advise what I'm doing wrong. Thanks.

Did you follow first post, third bullet?

About downloading the full UI plugin? Yes, I mentioned that in my post but maybe I wasn't clear. jusjoken had posted previously that this wasn't necessary if you had the latest version of the docker/SageTV. But I downloaded it anyway and tried it. No difference.

Unless I'm doing something wrong, it is looking like this is now a bust for the common/mere mortal. I noticed this morning that I'm not getting weather any longer. Went to do some investigating, and I'm getting a 503 error on the call to api.wunderground.com. When I went to wunderground.com, I think I had to create a new account, which I did, fine, no problem. However, when I went to request a new API key, I was informed that only those folks who have a weather device to register are allowed to get API keys. So, I guess the weather app is a no-go for me. Unless someone has some information that I'm missing to get things working again.

I think that there are new weather sources. Wunderground was bought by IBM and they changed their pricing model so that their lowest use model was $800/month or $10k/yr.

So you have to use OpenWeather. See the first post of this thread - if you have upgraded SageTV in the last few years you should be able to use OpenWeather as a source.

@Wayner, thanks. I thought I had done everything, but apparently not. I hadn't installed the FullUI package and so, no weather. Appreciate the gentle reminder/nudge.
