If you are using one of the SDT(SuperDateTime) styles, the PC needs to be running because the weather information is provided by the SDT plugin running on the server, this has always been the case.
If you are using one of the "CS Basic digital Clock - weather (weather applet)" styles, it should work without the server powered on since the weather information then will be taken from the Weather applet developed by bluegaspode. However, please note that for this style to work, you will need to have both Custom Clock and the Weather applet installed on the Squeezebox. -- erland Erland Isaksson ('My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info)) (Developer of 'many plugins/applets' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/User:Erland).
