GOES East not updating GOES West appears OK
Just noticed that I have a yellow dot in the upper left hand corner instead of the usual green one on alll my GOES East downloads. GOES West appears to be OK. Wondering if it is NOAA or us. Benn like this for a couple of days. Thanks, Rich
Update this morning. I saw this on the NOAA WEB site reference to transistion from GOES 16 to GOES 19.
"Notice: This site has successfully transitioned the image data source from GOES-16 to GOES-19. There are some remaining anomalies in the production of mesoscale geocolor images which are being investigated. Everything else should be operating as expected. Please contact: [email protected] if you have any questions."
Thanks, Rich
It doesn't seem like that the SpaceEye app has been updated to grab images from GOES 19 West. The directory for GOES West is now https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES19/ABI/CONUS/GEOCOLOR/. My guess is the app is still using the old GOES16 directory.
Looks like this may be abandonware now, as I don't see it on Windows App Store anymore. Anyone able to patch this on a branch (it would take me awhile to figure it out, but the fix should be very simple)
I sent off an email to the author a couple of weeks ago but have not heard back from anyone. Hate to see this app go away because it worked so good. Haven't found anything to replace it either. Some programs out there but not as good and consistent updates as this one did. I don't code, so anyone want to take a chance and try to fix it?????
It looks like it relies on another project, "space-eye-satellite-config". I found the configuration file that specifies the satellite names in the URL. Modifying the name allowed the url to work in a browser, so I attempted to submit a pull request. There are still some outstanding pull requests by the bot though, so I don't know what's supposed to happen next. I've also never updated a GitHub project before, so who knows if I did something right nor not.
Glad you are looking at this. I do not know much about how GITHUB works and less on coding. I would think that a URL was needed to change but have no clue where or how to do it. Thank, Rich
