Hey everyone.

I'm currently running the latest version of Xibo (http://xibo.org.uk) for my digital signage project and I want to add a weather feed for my client machines. I want to use the XML feed at weather.boygenius.com (http://weather.boygenius.com) and have the server get the info once an hour and then send it to the client machines.

I tried using the built in RSS feed reader, but cant seem to get it to work. Has anyone had any experience with using the boygenius feed for weather or can anyone tell me how to parse the data correctly or put it in a web page.

Thanks

Brian

I know that this is over a year old, but in case anyone happens upon this thread, the solution that I have found that works for me is to pull the xml file from the noaa website and have php parse and display it. Details are on my blog. http://www.brianmathis.net/2010/09/10/howto-get-local-weather-on-xibo/
