Satellite gifs do not expand or rotate

Most likely not worth a "fix" but should be noted....

Neither of the images below expand to full screen when double clicked. A small image appears in the upper left corner of the page and double clicking on it returns to the full dashboard screen. The images also do not rotate like the others when combined in a single panel.

I did combine them on my dashboard and they rotate and expand as expected. Unfortunately I can't reproduce the issue you are having. You can press F12 when you reload the dashboard and click on the console tab on the F12 window. If you have any error messages there when this is happening the please post here. Thank you.

Hmmmm.... it was consistently failing but now working much better; expansion and rotation. I get the following errors at times infrequently. Internet speed is typically 400Mbps+ down. Perhaps we can blame it on the NOAA servers.....

Failed to load image https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/GLM/SECTOR/se/EXTENT3/GOES16-SE-EXTENT3-600x600.gif?_=1717704894911 dash.html:444 Trying without caching prevention dash.html:441 Failed to load image https://cdn.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/GOES16/GLM/SECTOR/se/EXTENT3/GOES16-SE-EXTENT3-600x600.gif?_=1717704908929 dash.html:444 Trying without caching prevention

This is what the code is doing and why is showing these warnings on the console:

1. I'm attempting to download the image first with a random string at the end to prevent caching.
2. If that fails, then the 2nd load attempt is without the ?_=nnnnnn part.
3. If that fails, then it is something else wrong.

I just tested on my work computer running Microsoft Edge and I got the little square icon of the missing image once and I noticed the image was not completely loaded. So it could happen on slow connections. Is a big file 21 MB each time that shows on the screen (due to the caching prevention.) The other file is like 12 MB.

I will add options on the config to permit the caching or to use every N seconds. I don't like to generate excessive traffic downloading the exact same image hundred times per hour.

I'm glad is working better for you.

Sounds good. I noticed those animated GIFs are rather large. Here's my current layout. The Satellite, RADAR and Skywarn panels have more than one image. Love the auto rotate!!!! Steve - N5NG

It looks really nice. I will add to the examples folder. Thanks for sharing.
