Topic: Broken widgets work fine on chumby.com
Why do some widgets like Human Calendar, CNet news, etc. work on the chumby website but not on the chumby itself? Is there any hope or is it time to delete?

I'll look into it - it's very likely an SSL certificate issue. I think many of these sites are redirecting to HTTPS and the chumby certs are out of date.

Thanks!

Is there hope for repair?

Re: Broken widgets work fine on chumby.com
what's the actual widget name? there's a lot of possible 'weather radar' widgets.

chumby 8 shows top part of NOAA but no daily info, chumby classic loads no data on that app.
neither load "local weather radar'. This app loads for example this type data:

yes, I'm looking at the local weather app display on my chumby classic right now.. though it always looks like a mess here with all the ground clutter. (dallas-fort worth area)
I wish I could specify which radar map it displayed.. my preferred ones all show that everything is clear in the area.

HW 10.7 SW 1.0.7 FW 1.0.3454 I'm not sure but I think NOAA maybe changing their feeds.

Image URL is a widget that I use A LOT. Depending on the URL, it will work on chumby.com but not the chumby.

I saw another user having the same trouble from a different zip code. Any ideas for a fix? Both apps must have something in common that references some url that changed.

Re: Broken widgets work fine on chumby.com
OK, I've confirmed that the issue is with SSL. Newer firmware should address it. For instance, if you have a chumby Classic, it will work with firmware 1.7.3 but not 1.7.2.
Basically, NOAA changed their http feed to redirect to https and uses certificates that are newer than the ones on the older firmware. I'm looking into a solution that would work on older devices as well.

Re: Broken widgets work fine on chumby.com
OK the NOAA widget should be working again for all devices.
