Dang.  Totally understandable with the advent of hyper-localized everything.

General Discussion / Taiganet No More?

« on: July 21, 2022, 02:06:58 PM »

I'm posting as somewhat of a question but also as a statement in case anyone has extra information to share.  I've been using the WS4000 emulator as part of my weather stream for quite some time.  Recently, I noticed it kept displaying 'No Current Report' and not displaying current information.  As I looked into the problem, I noticed taiganet.com is no longer available.  I am able to view it in web searches but the site and forum do not load.  I don't want to speculate, so here's the post to gather information!  Also, thanks to Bill for programming the emulator and maintaining a quality product.

Morning update:
Current conditions have once again appeared.  I'll continue to monitor.  Still no change in the incorrect almanac data for sunrise and sunset.

Help and Support / Incorrect Temps, No Updates

I've noticed that conditions are not updating normally over the past few days. I'm getting conditions hours old, if not longer. I've restarted the emulator and computer with no change. I'm still seeing issues with the sunrise and sunset times displayed and how the app handles the night/day transition with conditions. It looks like the forecasts are still updating properly and I'm connected to the net.

Bug Reports / Re: Almanac Time Error

It's been off for years.  The odd thing is you can see how the other emulator (pulling from the same information) has the correct times for each date.

Bug Reports / Almanac Time Error

« on: May 28, 2019, 05:22:01 AM »

I have noticed my almanac data is incorrect by 3 hours or so.  For instance, today's sunrise official time is 5:56 AM but the emulator is showing 3:30 AM.  Sunset is 9:25 PM and the emulator is showing 7:00 PM.  Is this a program issue where it's grabbing the wrong timezone?  Just curious since it's causing issues with the entire emulator showing the wrong icons for the time of day, along with the wrong sunrise and sunset times.  Attached are screenshots from the WSXL emulator and the WS4000 emulator for comparison.  Thanks!

General Emulator Discussion / Almanac Sunrise/Sunset Times

« on: April 23, 2019, 12:18:07 AM »

I recently dusted off the emulator and fell back into how much I used to enjoy having it running.  I was curious if any more development had been made since the redesign?  I'm thankful it's still around!  My emulator currently has an issue of grabbing the wrong sunrise/sunset times.  Is there a possible fix for that?  I'm also wondering about the possibility of additional packages to select, possible customization of the alert scroll visual style and the ability to send a test crawl for each product.  I've been streaming again now and then, so check it out!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d91o3r79ddI

Hello STAR Team,

Our IS2 hasn't been airing any local content since the time-change on Sunday morning.  None of the LOT8s, ad slates, cable provider logos or LDL.  I waited a couple days to see if it would come back but alas it hasn't returned.  Please let me know if I can be of any other assistance.  Thank you!

Local Forecast / Re: The Popcorn song

Are you talking about the 1969 version or the 1972 version?  There are multiple versions of the same song listed there, including the cover versions.
