This is awesome! Any chance of a view with North America centric? @LukeCodewalker

@Burner911 if you find some image source :D

[lolobyte]

Here are some needful sources

@lolobyte
Thank you for the links.
For central america I found the following source the most usefull. Unfortunately it’s only available in high resulution.
http://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/goescolor/goeseast/overview2/color_lrg/latestfull.jpg

Has anybody found more usefull sources by now?

[Burner911]

@SvenSommer That is the exact image I found as well. Any chance we could make this work @LukeCodewalker?

Hopefully we’ll have a new feed from GOES-16 soon as well!

@Burner911 sure :) should be straight forward. I you know how to do it feel free to make a pull request. If not I can have a look at the weekend if I find some time.

@LukeCodewalker Thank you for helping out! I’m still stumbling along with the code, but if you have time to add the new http://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/goescolor/goeseast/overview2/color_lrg/latestfull.jpg image this weekend that would be awesome.

@LukeCodewalker, @Burner911
I just integrated the ‘centralAmericaDiscNat’ option and made a pull request.

[Burner911]

@SvenSommer You’re fast! Thank you!

@LukeCodewalker
First, thanks for the great module!

I’m having an issue with the module when I specify ‘ownImagePath’. The image is retrieved and displayed properly but does not update. I’ve tried several different external image sources with the same result.

Is it possible that there’s a caching issue?

Thanks,
Renfield

[LukeCodewalker]

@Renfield the module does only update the pre-defined satellite images. I did not implement that for own images. But that could be changed quickly. Do you think you can do that on your own or do you need help?

[Renfield]

I’m new to javascript but that’s what I thought I saw in the code (that the user images were purely static). I tried appending
?+ new Date().getTime();
to the image pull but probably due to an error on my part still couldn’t get the user-defined images to force a refresh on each update to the DOM. I’m in the early stages of learning javascript so it’s still a bit frustrating at times.

If you could add the fresh image retrieval functionality for user images to a future update that would be much appreciated but there’s no hurry. Should I put a “formal” request in the Requests forum?

Thanks,
Renfield

@lolobyte it’s in German, maybe is this better :-) https://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/NASA-Satellit-GOES-16-Erste-beeindruckende-Fotos-der-Erde-3607307.html?wt_mc=rss.ho.beitrag.atom&hg=1&hgi=0&hgf=false

[schlachtkreuzer6]

@chrisfoerg Niiiiiiiiiice!!!

[binderth]

@chrisfoerg Looks great! but if I understand it correctly, there’s no live-feed at the moment?

[schlachtkreuzer6]

@binderth jep, they are testing the stuff and so on
