[QUOTE="timbotim, post: 616193, member: 104403"] I can't change the sizes of the images unfortunately. The images are just grabbed from the web, renamed and uploaded again. That's as big as they come. I'm using RC2 and the images automatically stretch to the size of the image display area. The UV index one is really small so it looks quite pixelated though. If you, or anyone else, has a source for higher resolution pictures, I could change the script to grab those instead. Those were just the best ones I found in my short look. Also pics that were already animated would make things a bit easier at my end because I keep having problems with automating the command line gif animator (which may mean it takes a while to update the images sometimes). To answer my own question, I've been playing around with the graphics converter and reduced file sizes quite significantly. MP still produces the error when putting the url for animated gifs into MP's weather configuration and pressing preview, but the animated gifs work in MP itself (which is the important part). So if you want animated satellite images, use one of these links: [URL="http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite6hr.gif"]http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite6hr.gif[/URL] ~ 450KB, last 6 hrs [URL="http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite12hr.gif"]http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite12hr.gif[/URL] ~ 740KB, last 12 hrs [URL="http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite18hr.gif"]http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite18hr.gif[/URL] ~ 1 MB, last 18 hrs [URL="http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite24hr.gif"]http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite24hr.gif[/URL] ~ 1.3MB last 24 hrs The bigger files will give you a longer view into the weather, but take up more of your bandwidth, more of my bandwidth, and will take longer to load. You can still always just use the latest still satellite image here: [URL="http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite.jpg"]http://weather.secure.org.nz/satellite.jpg[/URL] ~ 380KB The still satellite image is higher quality than the animated pics.
