MMM-Globe: Meteosat imagery broken — fork with fix available
-
@rkorell
If I install your fork and use the style: “meteosat”,
Will that work in the USA ? I like the prettier styling… -
@plainbroke :-) It will work in US but you will see the wrong half of the globe …
To be serious: No, you requirement is for sure to see USA side of the globe - so it will not work for you - wrong satellite.
Warmest regards,

Thanks for the update and the clear explanation, that broken image issue has been frustrating for a lot of users. The fork with the new meteosat style and the fix for the blank startup problem sounds like a solid replacement, especially with the improved imagery source. Appreciate you sharing the install steps and config example, it makes testing the fix much easier for everyone.

@rkorell Thanks a lot, I’ll try that this week ! Greetings

Today added a minor fix: Globe disappeared when browser-refresh is performed…

Dear @plainbroke ,
well, I owe you an apology — and a thank you!When you asked, I answered “wrong satellite” and moved on. Technically correct, but I completely missed the obvious next question: “So… can we get the
RIGHT satellite?”Turns out, we can. The CIRA SLIDER service that provides the beautiful Meteosat GeoColor imagery (with the night city lights) serves four geostationary
satellites — and one of them is GOES-19, parked right over the Americas at 75.2°W. Same API, same image quality, same stunning day/night visualization.
I just never looked.Your question made me look. So as of v3.1.0, MMM-Globe now supports:
┌─────────────────┬────────────────────┬───────────────────────────┐ │ Style │ Satellite │ View │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────┼───────────────────────────┤ │ geoColorEurope │ Meteosat (0°) │ Europe / Africa │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────┼───────────────────────────┤ │ geoColorUSA │ GOES-19 (75.2°W) │ Americas ← this is yours! │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────┼───────────────────────────┤ │ geoColorPacific │ GOES-18 (137.0°W) │ Pacific │ ├─────────────────┼────────────────────┼───────────────────────────┤ │ geoColorAsia │ Himawari (140.7°E) │ Asia / Australia │ └─────────────────┴────────────────────┴───────────────────────────┘Just set style: “geoColorUSA” and you’re good to go. Same auto-polling every 60 seconds, same beautiful globe, just the right half of the planet this
time. 😊So thank you for what I should have recognized as a feature request instead of a geography lesson. Sometimes the best contributions come disguised as
simple questions.Warmest regards,
