I've noticed, after having a permanent gold badge, it has disappeared. On closer inspection in the mxdiags, I have this:

Code: Select all

2017-12-28 11:39:07.878 WU update: An error occurred while sending the request.
Going back quite a few days.. I have rebooted since then, but it's still occurring. The data is showing up on wunderground fine (every 5 mins)

It's not about the gold badge - I don't care about that. It's just odd that there's no loss of data but I still get an error. I just wondered if anyone else is seeing these errors in their diags?

Just checked my mxdiag, which is a few days old, no error about wu update since then.

I too have had that error before, though not recently.

have a new one on me though

Code: Select all

2017-12-28 14:41:11.014 WU update: The character set provided in ContentType is invalid. Cannot read content as string using an invalid character set.
could have been when I updated Debian before a reboot perhaps...

No problems for this user. My gold medallions are still visible as is all weather data. :)

It's still happening to me. No missing data on WU either. If I run through their graphs, it's not a constant 5 minutes, sometimes it is 3 minutes, sometimes 4, and sometimes it has sent at 1 and 2 minute intervals.

Code: Select all

2017-12-29 11:32:20.757 WU update: An error occurred while sending the request.
I have nothing in my logs to say anything was successful to WU, and the errors are in the logs going back to the end of November. I have no idea what's occurring!

I decided to change my IP address, reboot the router - as it hadn't been for over a month! I cleared my DNS cache, then rebooted. I don't see any errors in the diags at the moment, so fingers crossed. :lol:

It must be something their end? But it's odd that I see no one else with this problem. :?

All good here too. I was having some broadband/FTP problems earlier this week but WU updates were working fine throughout.

I'm going to ditch them, WU are a waste of internet bandwidth.

WU is working OK for me. I have low broadband speed, around 2Mbps with daily drop-outs and have suffered power fails due to winds that are a bit higher than normal. Just some of the joys of living 'in the sticks' :lol:

Bizarre. My own station ISTOCKPO4 is no longer visible on WU but Cumulus is not reporting any problems.

WU is reporting my station lat/Lon is 0/0. I’ll just wait for them to sort things out. Strange how different stations are having different problems.

OK I give in :roll:

WU stopped receiving data at 5:45 am this morning then came back and went away at 11:45 am It seems to be catching!

Ray - my station location as reported by WU seems to be in order though.
