mediacowboy 438 Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 So here's my idea. Is there away to have all clients get a message if there is serve weather in the area? For example tonight I have tornado active in my area and I would like to continue watching tv shows. But I can't because I won't know if there is something I need to take shelter for. Just an idea as I live during tornado alley. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediacowboy 438 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) I don't know if this will get any more traction but I found a weather website that appears to have a free api. http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/I would help program if I knew how.So if a developer sees this here and want to know how I was thinking this could work. Server gets notified of server weather. Server send out a message to all clients playing any type of media at the time. Pausing the media. Putting it on the screen for 15 seconds with a rude and obnoxious sound. Then after 15 seconds or however long, could be a setting on the server for the time, automatically resumes playing media.

Koleckai Silvestri 1150 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) While my weather is pretty much the same 365 days a year (sunny and clear), I would love to see this added. Server already asks for location to be used for weather. Edited July 30, 2014 by Wayne Luke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddyweiser 105 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 While my weather is pretty much the same 365 days a year (sunny and clear), I would love to see this added. Server already asks for location to be used for weather.I think that option was moved to MBC a few builds ago because nobody else was using it. But I would think a server plug in would be most the best route in this situation, in my opinion. Sent using my Optimus L90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediacowboy 438 Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 If anyone knows a developer that would be willing to take this on I will dig more into the API. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
