Here's what I've got so far. I'll call it version 1.0 since I can't really add anything else to it for now.

Quote:MovieMonitor provider and skin files for TLB's WeatherMonitor 1.2
Author: shapeshifter (<!-- e --><a href="mailtohape@comcast.net">shape@comcast.net</a><!-- e -->)
Provider / Skin Version: 1.0
Instructions: Unzip contents to your weathermon directory. Right click on
TLB, select "New", then "Weather Monitor". Enter the name desired for the
plugin (i.e. "Movie Monitor" - without the quotes). Chose the Movie Monitor
skin from the first drop-down list, and the Movies.com provider file from the
second. Click the >> button next to the second drop-down list, and you will be
taken to http://movies.go.com/showtimes/ for you to find your desired theatre.
USE THE "BUILD FAVORITE LIST" SECTION OF THIS PAGE. Enter your zip
code or city and state in this section. Note: Unfortunately, this page will not
work for theatres outside the US. If you know of a website that utilizes a
database of international theatres, please email me. Leave the "Theatre
Name" field blank for now, and click "Build List!". On the next page, find the
name of the theatre you would like to monitor showtime listings for, AND
COPY IT. PRESS YOUR BROWSER'S "BACK" BUTTON AND PASTE THIS
NAME INTO THE THEATRE NAME FIELD, previously left blank. Make sure the
other fields are correct, then click "Build List!" again. This should take you to
a page with your desired theatre and its showtime listings. Copy this page's
URL and paste it into Weather Monitor's URL field. I recommend going to the
"Connection & Units tab, and changing the plugin's default "On click"
behavior to "Show Weather Details". With this seting in affect, clicking on the
plugin will bring up a small dialog box showing the current theatre's name,
date, and movies with showtimes for the first 5 movies, instead of having to
load your web browser. Due to a Windows limitation, only the first 5 movies
will appear in the tooltip or dialog box. You can right click on the plugin and
select "Open Web Page" to bring up the theatre's web page (and complete
showtime listings) in your default web browser.
