More Animated Weather Radar Loops as a Blue Iris camera

[concord]

Doesn't anyone happen to know of a way to get a 3, 5, 7, or 10 forecast to work like the the radar map. I see I can set the refresh to as low as ever 2 mins. I would love to have a 3 or 5 day forecast on the screen as well as the radar.

Check your local TV station websites, one of them may use an image with the same name all the time, they just update that image once a day... I tried manually changing the max rate to 60 minutes, but it set it back to 1.0, so 2 mins is the max.

For example:

Address: https://mediaweb.wsoctv.com/weather/5day.jpg
Model:    JPEG/GIF/etc.

Thank you so much got the one for bay area ca..




I did change the Max rate to 1 fps.. since it was getting DC message in between.. And also set the recording only when triggered.. are you guys using this just for info only ?

Glad you found one. I use it for information. I use Home Assistant and have a "cam"group that displays certain cams from BI in a corner of my computer as I work, which includes the forecast and weather radar.

Some overlay a radar on a cam, I just have a radar "cam" instead, try:

I have mine set up on a Fire8. Both images are set to 2 seconds. That way, clicking on either to get full screen is quick. I tried setting the 7 day to 2 minutes, but when you click on it, it takes forever to show up as a single "cam".

@tech101
Pasting that in address bar not working, am I missing something

 

[tech101]

Do I need to split it up into the video path?

Add new camera--





Frames to 6 sec... And that should do it..

 

[tech101]

Just make sure under Record. You set it accordingly I have that off. Since I just want this as info only.

I used to have a RaspberryPi with an SDR and antenna, along with flightaware software. Basically you are sharing information with Flightaware on the planes flying locally. It contained a local web server that you could monitor.
