Topic: wxspace error: 018

[kplew]

Has anyone had any luck resolving the error: 018 issues on the realtime sun images? Some fetch jobs are working, image-space-solar-ap.php but most are not.

Thanks

I just tried but not seeing any errors apart from 2 not found on server when clicked a screen shot may help

suggest you try changing the Continuum and Magnetogram to as below to  get an image played instead of the 404 error

Great! Thank you. Do you happen to have a fix for the Solar cycle images- Sun Spot Number progression and F10.7cm Radio Flux Progression? I downloaded those images when it stopped working some time ago.

Thanks again!

This is the code i have in my wxspace

hope it helps
have attached the full script as some of the movies are different format

How are you grabbing the png files? There doesn't seem to be a way to automate the process.

Thanks

[hcorrin]

after investigating they are fixed images that have to be manually updated although i found 2 php's in an a version 1.7 in this thread https://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=31823.msg399944#msg399944
but they do not work with the current version i suspect the webpage has changed making it not possible to to get them automatically

I played around a little bit with this a while ago.  The problem is the SWPC switched to Highcharts on their website to graph out the Sun Spot Number progression and F10.7cm Radio Flux Progression.  I didn't have the patience to try and reverse-engineer they way they did it so I resorted to spitting out .png files from their graph utility and doing manual updates periodically. I'm sure there is a better way to do it, it just takes a better mind than mine to make it happen.
