It only gives me the one option in the app. But MET Norway should be it...

For me it's when I add a new location, then I get to choose what sources to pull from

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but there are not as much options there as the 'help me choose' GitHub link suggests. Open météo is the only option.

Will have to look into this later.

Very strange. I installed through the neo store a week or so ago and have a couple options

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

I'll try the neo store version later and see if it differs somehow. In the documentation there's some take about 'flavors' of the same app, which is a bit bizarre imho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The version is 5.1.8_fdroid, which is the same one I also see in fdroid

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

In neo store it allowed me to install the Izzy version, which lets me select multiple sources. It's weird not to have that in every install, though

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Definitely strange... Glad it worked out, though
