Yes I realize that it was setup for Meteo. Wview also uses a mysql database, the default db name in db2APRS is Meteo, the -b option allows you to change the db name but it doesn't work. I like Wview as you can also output to Weather Underground and Weatherforyou.

The -b option just changes the name of the MySQL database that it looks at for the data. The data still has to be in a MySQL database, with the sdata table that meteo generates/loads. I'm pretty sure that Wview uses a different table structure - unfortunately, since I have a WMII and not a Vantage, I can't test it. I do have a different set of code (being 'alpha' tested now); that takes a WXNOW.TXT file (2 lines, ala the one created by WeatherDisplay) and writes an aprs formatted record to a socket, so that might be an alternative. I'm also playing with a set of code that will take an XML METAR feed and emit an aprs weather string.
