This is possibly the most incoherent thread ever.

I'm enjoying it, but haven't checked in since page 1.

 

What's the intent here? Are you going to be hosting this for people to use? Can people grab the files and run it locally for themselves? I have a new Synology NAS this would be a good little project for.

Good to hear you are enjoying it.

The IntelliSTAR is already hosted and operational. And yes, you can download the files from github and run it locally.

I will be posting some instructions in a bit and will provide all current links.

 

The WeatherStar 4000+ files are on github. I do not have it hosted publicly.

Though you can download the files and set it up yourself. There are instructions.

It is not what I would call "easy" to install. The IntelliSTAR is far easier. YMMV

Note: Zoom to location only works only when initially fully zoomed out (Default for NWS Fullscreen Radar option in Configuration Menu)

I updated everything and added some features. Updated links and instructions are at the beginning of this thread.

Also you can now click on the AmericanWX image and the links will take you to those locations.

New mobile version in development. Uses National Radar for both Radar Animations in emulator. FYI... there are two radars "slides" available in the emulator. When there are no NWS alerts/warnings, then only one radar slide is shown. If there are any Alerts/Warnings, then a second radar slide is presented. In the desktop version it is a location based, zoomed version of your regional radar (following the original TWC protocol for intellistar). The mobile version will show national radar and nws national warnings. Geo-specific maps are available from within the emulator. This moves some of the resource intensive NWS map functions to a seperate screen outside of the emulator.

Here is an example of a link/button to local NWS geo-specific hi-rez radar used in the mobile version.

Press on local radar button to view location specific radar.

There are numerous buttons placed throughout all versions allowing for navigation between the emulator and other html pages.

There are now 6 versions including the FireTV version. I don't foresee a need for anymore. Consequently, I will be working on fine tuning things and addressing any bugs that may exist.

All versions, with exception of the Desktop and FireTV version, are intended to run on a mobile phone using landscape view. It is also recommended to run links as web apps. This will remove the address bar, etc. to free up valuable screen real estate. That can be done by selecting "Add to Home screen" from Chrome based browsers. Firefox has a similiar feature as well. But I suggest using a chrome based browser. I use Brave.

The following post has been updated to include changes...
