Good afternoon, all!
europeDiscNat is back! (plus a small CSS fix for a new white footer)
for you, guys a quick update on the European satellite image situation.
Since my fork EUMETSAT’s new WMS endpoint at view.eumetsat.int/geoserver/wms works fast, reliably and nice.
Yesterday that stopped delivering fresh images!
Today I figured out there even is a new version (small changes in URL) v1.1.0 is now v1.3.0 API - but both of them are only returning a stale image from yesterday evening:
https://view.eumetsat.int/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.1.0&request=GetMap&layers=msg_fes:rgb_naturalenhncd&...
https://view.eumetsat.int/geoserver/wms?service=WMS&version=1.3.0&request=GetMap&layers=msg_fes:rgb_naturalenhncd&...
But here’s the surprise: the old europeDiscNat URL is back and working again!
So if you’ve been in trouble with looking for actual pictures without the SLIDER API, this works right now:
style: 'europeDiscNat',
is re-born …
One thing to watch out for: Unfortunately EUMETSAT has changed the image format slightly. The footer bar at the bottom (logo + timestamp) used to be black — invisible against the MagicMirror background. It’s now white and a bit taller, which causes a small white artifact at the bottom of the globe.
I’ve pushed a fix that adds a black CSS overlay to mask the footer. Just update the module:
cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Globe
git pull
npm install
Of course the SLIDER styles (geoColorEurope, geoColorUSA, etc.) continue to work fine if you prefer those.
Happy mirroring!
Warmest regards,
Ralf
