Not sure I’m putting this in the right place but here goes…
I noticed that my GRLevel3 images on my website were not updating and when I checked it looks like my software isn’t able to download the radar data anymore. I’m guessing something changed, maybe gone https or something. I did a quick search and a few Googles but no luck and so I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I just updated GRLevel3 software end of last year and didn’t see a newer version.
Thanks for the replies everyone but I installed the latest beta and still no luck. Everything appears to load/run fine but down in the bottom right corner it just keeps showing in red “Next Update In Xsecs” then “Downloading” for like 2 seconds but never seems to connect to wherever it’s trying to connect and nothing ever updates. I’ve not changed any settings in years other than trying to see if a different site made any difference, which it did not.
I normally use KHTX or KFFC but I’ve tried a bunch of others, even some on the west coast but still get nothing. Also, firewall and AV are both disabled. Internet access is fine and WD uploads to my site are working fine. The last day everything worked was on 2/4/19. At first I just thought the radar was down but after a few days I looked into it and saw that nothing was being downloaded. I’m really stumped on what’s going on.
I’ve thought about deleting everything and reloading but I have a sneaky feeling that isn’t going to help. Plus I hate to have to redo things from scratch.
Hmmm…I was just about to suggest deleting and re-installing, but do understand your reluctance. Now that I think about it, wasn’t there a Windows Update for Win10 about that time frame? I wonder if there was, it has screwed up something (what a surprise, right)?
Pure conjecture! Is it possible the source changed to SSL/https, or version thereof? AFAIK XP lacks full support for SSL so maybe that’s why you Objector is having issues and others are not.
Thanks for the input. I’ll do a fresh install and a quick configure on a W7 or W10 system this afternoon and see what happens. It makes sense as it’s been almost 10 years without any issues and this just started out of nowhere without any changes on this end.
I’ve been running a Shuttle XS36V4 with the J1900 CPU and it handles WD, WxSim and associated programs with no problem. Also streaming NWS radio weather and a few other things.
VERY happy with it and it really cut my power consumption from the old IBM ThinkCenter I was previously running. 8 GB ram and 250GB Samsung SSD.
Appreciate the feedback on equipment. Got bogged down with work so just now had a chance to see what’s inside this little computer. Turns out it’s an Atom N450 @ 1.66 GHz but only 1 GB of ram running W7. I don’t know if I could add more memory, or if it’s even worth doing.
