'Forecast' is N/A when 'Open Weather Map' is set in Preferences

[igi]

Occurs after last update in Ubuntu Trusty (0.8.1-0extras16.04.1).

Changing service to Yahoo cleans the issue; changing service back to OWM triggers the issue again at next application startup.

Attached the log: pasting the service url in the browser gives following message:
    "{"cod":401, "message": "Invalid API key. Please see http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info."}"

Also happening in Xenial. Weather service choice doesn't seem to matter - just N/A

Please, fix it!
This indicator the best!

Here is a workaround:
1) Create an account at openweathermap.org;

2) Sign-in and get you own API key;

3) Find the file "wopenweathermapapi.py" and open it with a file editor (you'll need super user privilege). You can make a backup of this file before editing if you prefer;

4) Find the line that begins with "APPID = ". After the equal sign, you'll find a 31 characters-long key. Replace this key by the one you got at openweathermap.org;

5) Now you just need to restart the application and, if everything else is well configured, it should work properly about 10 minutes after you created your account. (At least it worked for me).

this workaround doesn't work and it can't.
actual reason is that the reported weather condition code is not listed in "wopenweathermapapi.py".
example: "weather":[{"id":620,"main":"Snow","description":"light shower snow","icon":"13n"}]
when you add this one (and probably other) new codes to the file, everything works fine.

they are: 313, 314, 531, 612, 615, 616, 620, 622, 751, 761, 762, 771, 781.
