            }
      },

I hope this ok for you…

@Stoffbeuteluwe ist that ok?

[chris1971]

Great!!!

It’s working with the link… where did you find it?

Regards, Christoph

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@chris1971 this is the link from the picture of the Earth on the eumesat webpage…

[chris1971]

yes - and now I still have the question if the picture will be updated automatically. With the old configuration (on the EUMETSAT server) I got a new picture every 15 minutes…

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@chris1971 i hope so

[chris1971]

until now - no update… still the same picture since 2 hours…

If you are using . . .

ownImagePath:'https://eumetview.eumetsat.int/static-images/MSG/RGB/NATURALCOLOR/FULLRESOLUTION/IMAGESDisplay/VazIBqHF9k665',
            updateInterval: 10*60*1000

. . . then that address would need to update with a new picture for the module to retrieve and display it. If that address is a static picture then the module will only be able to display that.

@Mykle1 perfekt thank you …

[chris1971]

I replaced the own image path in the css with “http://gif.keraunos.org/nuageseu.gif”.
The part of the css is looking now:

‘’’
{

module: 'MMM-Globe',
position: 'middle_center',
config: {
	style: 'europeDiscNat',
	imageSize: 500,
	ownImagePath:'http://gif.keraunos.org/nuageseu.gif',
	updateInterval: 1*60*1000 // ervery 2 minutes
}

},
‘’’
It’s not a real globe, but a good animated gif for the weather forecast with clouds…

I replace the URL own image path with https://eumetview.eumetsat.int/static-images/latestImages/EUMETSAT_MSG_RGBNatColourEnhncd_LowResolution.jpg
There are different of quality but is the better I found

@saljoke
I also replaced the URL but the image doesn´t update.
Has anybody a solution, how to update the image automatically?

       ownImagePath:'https://eumetview.eumetsat.int/static-images/latestImages/EUMETSAT_MSG_RGBNatColourEnhncd_LowResolution.jpg',
        updateInterval: 10*60*1000

@sdetweil

I don´t think that it is static. Every hour the picture is updated with the same adress.
I thought that Globe updated the picture with the update intervall.

Cool and interesting! Im gonna try it out and see how it works.

Well, if that is the case then it should update the image in the module. I don’t use this module. Perhaps someone that does use it will chime in with there findings, or fixes.

I see in the latest code that it is appending the date & time to avoid caching.

I’ve added a number of console log messages to the code, and it looks like it’s never refreshing. Can anyone confirm that MMM-Globe really does refresh for them, after the initial page load?

I’ve temporarily switched my mirror to MMM-iFrameReloaded, which does indeed refresh, but doesn’t scale the image to the size I need.

[Stoffbeuteluwe]

@FlatPepsi it is not working…

@dhruvgami1989 - I wonder if the globe image is pushing the upper three regions higher? I have a couple things to try, but I don’t have a solution really.

• Turn off the compliments temporarily and put the globe module in lower_third.
• Reduce your globe image size and see if the weather forecast reappears
• Move the globe to full_screen below, which should remove it from the shuffling that comes with the module positions.

I hope one of these works for you.
