Description
At least for the locale USUT0208 (Provo, UT), there are only 5 Doppler radar images on image.weather.com. The URL "http://image.weather.com/looper/archive/us_slc_closeradar_large_usen/6L.jpg" does not return an image, though 1L.jpg through 5L.jpg work fine. Probably the for loop in weather.cpp should cycle between 1 and 5 (instead of 1 and 6 as at present). However, if other locales have more images, it might be necessary to glean the number of images from the javascript on the referring page.

When mythweather can't download an image, it displays a black screen with a message saying, "Map Unavailable." So if an image doesn't exist, you get little bits of radar video separated by a jarring black frame.

I agree. I have noticed this problem over the last few weeks as well. Even though there is no real problem, per se, it really makes it difficult to view the image when the black frmae pops up!

Not sure what the bug is, here. That it's trying to download something that it doesn't need to? Doesn't really hurt anything - mythweather won't display an empty/non-existant image, so there's nothing functionally wrong that I can see. Tested with the given locale.
