@Peter
sorry, I meaning use hi-res url instead of it.
for example:this.imageUrls = { 'geoColor': 'http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/images/latest_hi_res/himawari-8/full_disk_ahi_true_color.jpg',
@iMAGiC , what do you mean with " full"?
Is there a good link to the side of the earth with Europe?
Peter -
@Peter I agree with the post about changing the link. I had the same problem then I changed sources and have had no issue.
-
@iMAGiC , I used your link: MM starts, I see half of the globe and MM stops, starts again with half of the globe and stops again; like a loop.
Maybe because I use a RPI 2?
Peter -
@dasbooter , what link do you use?

@Peter I fixed this problem with improving my wifi signal/range!
Check your wifi signal quality if around 37/70 this will cause problems for sure, it should be at least above 45/70 or higher check your signal with:
sudo iwconfig wlan0
My bad wifi signal caused problems like not loading the globe images and freezing agenda items and not loading the newsfeed items.
Solutions are
-
Change the accespoint location or
-
Buy a WIFI USB adapter to improve the wifi range because the Pi 3 default wifi/bluetooth is very bad: Pi 3 Wifi problems or
-
DIY Modification option External antenna modifications for the Raspberry :Pi 3
Good Luck!

@Peter do you set updateInterval correctly?
btw, I use Pi 3 with LAN.only thing is loading time is longer, but OK.
-
Wifi signal is 49/70.
I use the original update interval.
Peter -
@Peter I think there is a problem, but not link I provided. may you check others, it shouldn’t cause MM stop or restart.
-
I rest my case.
I can’t get it working the way I want.
Thanks everybody for your help.

For those seeking North American globe views, I have great news - GEOS-16 (aka GEOS-East) is now publishing live color (yes, COLOR) images!
See web site here:
https://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES/GOES16_FullDisk.phpThere are a few links for the latest image, depending on the resolution you want. (Watch out -many of the web site’s URLs are date and time specific) I’m using: https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/FD/GEOCOLOR/678x678.jpg
Until a proper GIT update is done on this module, you can edit your setup to get this new image. In the folder:
/home/pi/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-Globe
Edit the file: MMM-Globe.jsFind the lines with ‘centralAmericaDiscNat’: , and put the new URL in there. In my case, I used:
'centralAmericaDiscNat': 'https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/ABI/FD/GEOCOLOR/678x678.jpg'
Do note that the code has 2 sections for different resolutions- you may need to update both.
Enjoy!
