API key invalid or rate limited

[Dalk21]

The TWC API key used for fetching weather info is currently not working,

If it's fully broken, you can actually inspect API calls from both weather.com and wunderground.com to get valid API keys (not sure on how long they work)

A user in issue #52 shows the issue

I hope we can get this resolved ASAP.

[TerryThor731]

and the narrations too

Narrations, really?

[Halloween20]

Yes

[Dalk21]

If you need I can get a fork setup soon with a working API key

[TerryThor731]

You can try to do that. If you please.

[TerryThor731]

I don't know exactly when it will be resolved, but once it is, everything should start working properly again. For now, please be patient while they work on fixing the issue.

I made a fork and put a working API key on there

Don't expect it to work forever, but it should work for the next good while

The api key is broke... 2 minute I fixed.

[Halloween20]

I Notice the weather radar is lagging is there enyway some one could fix that problem if you can that would be great and thank you

[K-A-0-S]

The api key needs to be replaced. That will fix it. But it seems the author has lost interest. Mine works, Simple fix.

[Dalk21]

I've already set mine up with a working key lol, no need. I'll look into getting the TWC radar on there. Should be simple

[K-A-0-S]

The solution is easy. Replace the API Key. Problem solved.

[Dalk21]

For radar, I already have a fix and can work on implementing it here soon. It uses the weather channel radar + mapbox to show the radar for the location.

Yes... the radar lags. Unless you are using something other than a half way decent desktop computer. It never even fully loads on my fire tv. This is because of the high rez image and 20 frames being loaded.

Anyway.. there is a way around this.

[Dalk21]

If you want, I'll send over the radar docs and apis for you to mess with, feel free to make a pull request with those

[K-A-0-S]

I have it working with NWS low rez radar..

[K-A-0-S]

Also Local Radar...

I am interested.

If somebody can add the voice to the forecast that would be great thanks

Where would you like me to send them to

[K-A-0-S]

Can you put them in your repository?

[Dalk21]

I put it there, it's the IBM public ones, find weather imagery and use the key in my repo for it

Haii, Can you show me how to do this? I hate the current radar on the simulator. I have discord and insta and stuff if you want to talk about it privately.

[Dalk21]

I can get it worked on soon. I'll make a pull request and hopefully we can get it publicly available

I'm Dalk (another account), but I've worked on this on my repo, and have got TWC radar on there. Radar needs to be worked on to possibly preload images to make them not lag. But other than that, it works.

Hey I decided to try it out and the radar doesn't work on the zoomed radar slide. if possible can you get that working too? and zoom it out on the regular radar slide.

[K-A-0-S]

I am KAOS and have already figured all of this out.

[Halloween20]

how long will be until this emulator starts working again ?

[K-A-0-S]

It works here...

https://dalk21.github.io/intellistar-emulator/

and here...

https://k-a-0-s.github.io/

I also have a low rez radar version...

That radar loads immediately... no lag.

In order for the hi-rez radar version to work without lag on low hardware resource devices, it needs to be pre-loaded.

As for narration... that can be addressed after other issues are resolved.

You should be able to modify the radar code on https://github.com/test-240123/intellistar-emulator and make it preload assets

Not as easy as you make it sound. Otherwise, it would have been done. But it is not... there is no additional functionality beyond the original code other than fixing the api key... a simple fix I made long before these comments. The original developer seems to have abandoned this project... or perhaps is busy. Regardless... Most people are not going to be able to "fix" the radar issue with this type of limited information... "You should be able to modify the radar code on https://github.com/test-240123/intellistar-emulator and make it preload assets"

I will leave it at that.

i been checking for updates on this intellistar emulator

[K-A-0-S]

I fixed the radar lag. Fix is here...

Enjoy!

when do you think can you put in the Narrations in ?
