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

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

Love this module! Thank you. I’d also like to have ‘ownimagepath’ updated regularly. I’m also a JS newbie and have no idea where to start. The image I’m using is: https://www.nnvl.noaa.gov/images/FDC-latest.png

Thanks!

I will pile on the request for updating custom URL images. I’ve been going crazy trying to figure out why it doesn’t update – and now I know. :)

The default North America image is a synthetic one, with real cloud cover overlaid on a static daylight earth. Nighttime is just as bright as daytime, for example. I wanted to use an image accurately showing the day/night divider moving across the globe. The best one I could find is here:

http://www.goes.noaa.gov/goesfull.html

On that page the “GOES East Visible” is exactly what I want, but sadly it’s in black-and-white. I’d love to have a color version of that. I may have to wait for that new satellite (Geos 16?) start publishing data.

@FlatPepsi

Would this North American image work for you? https://www.nnvl.noaa.gov/images/FDC-latest.png

@Renfield Did you find out how to update the code for this? I’m looking to refresh my image as well.
