WeatherPanel radar / image question...

[volsmcfalls]

I am wanting to change the radar options in WP. Do you change those the same way you change the traffic images?

Also, all the traffic cams in my area (http://ww2.tdot.state.tn.us/tsw/smar...city=Knoxville) are self updating on a very short time frame. So, when I get the URL, it changes depending on when I click on the image. Will they also do this in WP or will I always get the old, static image from when I clicked on it? In other words, the traffic image on the web changes every few seconds. Will WP do the same?

I'm interested in the answers to volsmcfalls questions. I think my primary question is related to his question about the traffic shots updating. Is there a way to add an animated radar image to WP? I have added several radar sources to WP, but the animated ones only give me a static image.

Yes, in WP, the weather image settings apply to any kind of image - radar, traffic or whatever. It's just an image URL, period.

WP will only work with static URLs - where the site changes the underlying image, but not it's URL.

WP will not download animations, but it does store up it's downloaded images (over time) and will animate them back to you.

Just tap-and-hold on the image and buttons will pop-up allowing you to play, step, zoom, etc.

Thanks for the response storyr. I think I did the tap-n-hold once, probably by accident, and got the buttons, and then later couldn't figure out how to get them back again.
