I tested all 3 and it works fine. Try clearing your browsers cache.

Same here 0.90 on 2 new Ulanzis. Tryed 4 different browsers same result = This ID does not exist. Download/Save of the Preview from the shown Preview as Animated gif works. (Right click Preview Picture save to) Then i have to use the Files tab and upload manual. (If i klick ICONS first the folder icon shows as open wihout files (First time use its ok). The Path in the top does not change to ICONS main path.

If i choose manual edit the path to /ICONS/yxz.gif the first time with no files in ICONS AWTRIX shows error. (can't reproduce) I now klick an icon under ICONS and the path changes correctly. So upload in the root path works after that i have to right click move then enter /ICONS/yxz.gif it moves finaly to ICONS.

Static Pictures xyz.png saved from Preview Page do not work an need to be convertet to yxz.jpg

Hope that helps.

Mayby only on first time flashed Upanzis ? (I have 2 with same results)

Sorry i cant reproduce it. It works for all other users without issues. It need to be something on your side wich blocks the download. PiHole, any other blocker or something like this, maybe also your country. i dont know. sorry

[servicemensch]

Tested it by accessing from a different device (iPAd instead of Windows computer) to the display: Icon download successful. So the browser/device you are accessing the web interface matters in some cases. Anyhow all other icons were downloaded from the affected windows machine.

Retryed it with Edge (Chromium) did do the trick (my Firefox doesn't) Ty ! From my Point /closed

Hello, got the same issue. Tried on MacOS with Firefox, Arc, Chrome & Brave.

Works on my iPhone tho - IOS 16

Please reopen this issue There is problem with corsproxy.io. Maybe it's possible not to use this proxy and try to load icons directly from lametric?

Thats not possible, because your browser downloads the icon, not the ESP itself. Im using it as workaround to not getting a CORS violation. dont know why youre getting one..

[Anonym-tsk]

Thats not possible

Just use fetch with {mode: 'no-cors'}, it works. I can't find source of awtrix web, only compiled js.

[Blueforcer]

do you think I haven't tried it? Most servers already ignore it, including lametric..

After hours of testing different options this was the way to go, and it works for thousands of users.

You can also upload the icons manually with the file manager

I don't know the reason, but my ip is blocked on corsproxy. According to this issue, i'm not alone.

Not really. The root issue from the other users was the browser not corsproxy, maybe a browser extension. You have a different issue, wich of course I unfortunately unable to solve.

[Anonym-tsk]

So, i changed function downloadLametricImage in DoNotTouch.json and now it works without proxy. Please try this solution.

[Anonym-tsk]

@Blueforcer what do you think?

[Anonym-tsk]

@Blueforcer Have you tested my solution? Maybe we can add it to the firmware and get rid of the proxy?

[Blueforcer]

Not yet, im not at home this week.

But awtrix doesn't contain a Proxy . A Proxy usually sits in front of the awtrix to access it via https from the outside.

But I don't use any of this, I need to compile it and let it test from my community on discord

Yes I understand this. But using an external proxy is not very secure (we can’t trust its creators 100%) and is unstable (it doesn’t work for me).

That is up to the users

Just use VPN

How to do clean install? Now I have modified json. What I need to do? Reset before flash?

[Blueforcer]

Just upload the bin file in the update tab of awtrix. Maybe it's necessary to delete the DoNotTouch.json and reboot awtrix. But not sure right now.

[adrienrichmond]

Hey Blueforcer, do you have a solution to modify bin files ? thx!

[Blueforcer]

Why you need to modify bin files? Your fix is already in the posted file

[adrienrichmond]

Hello, j'ai flasher le firmware bin mais ceci ne fonctionne toujours pas merci!

[Anonym-tsk]

Try this firmware.zip

It works, but (!): You need remove file DoNotTouch.json from filesystem after update and restart awtrix. Without removing i have old file and the fix isn't applyed.

@pacroy9 @adrienrichmond try this please

Something is wrong with this firmware. I get unexpected device reboots from time to time.

[pacroy9]

@pacroy9 @adrienrichmond try this please

This firmware update and the deletion of the file solved the problem. Many thanks for the fix.

[Schlicki]

Does not work for me. Got the modified firmware and deleted the "do not touch" but still get the error when trying to download any ID.

[xbmcnut]

Just got my first TC001 and love it but have the same issue. Device is running 0.96 and I keep getting the This ID doesnt exist error when trying to download icons. Tried the firmware file listed in the various threads and deleted the /DoNotTouch.json file but then I lost access to the device on my network even though the device told me it had a network IP address (and the AP was off). Re-flashed to get it back online but now stuck without icons again. Tried FF, Edge and Chrome.

EDIT. Tried again with the new firmware & removing the json file and while I still have access now, still get the icon error.

[xbmcnut]

UPDATE: Used the reset pin on the back after updating and removing the /DoNotTouch.json file and now it works! 🎉

Manually transferred the file with the icon to the Icons folder

I call icons to appear on the watch - the watch reboots

Displaying Effects and messages on the watch - works

[Blueforcer]

This icon preview doenst look like a 8x8 GIF. You cannot jsut download a png from the webpage and rename it to a gif

[serfin64]

Icon - *.gif. The clock is displayed as an animation in the web interface

[Blueforcer]

A webpage can render everything, it has nothing to to with the matrix renderer. But again, its not an 8x8 icon. You copied the gif from a website wich is way bigger. 8x8 Icons doesnt have a black border nor a grid in the preview. it looks like this

[rolfvreijdenberger]

adding some information here: I have the same issue, but this is caused by my pfsense distribution using pfblockerng (domain blacklist). Whitelisting corsproxy.io solves the issue. Keep in mind, that this domain corsproxy.io is being flagged as malware by opensource blocklists.
