    I just added the URL in the text area of a text box
    Well and here was the solution for me as I kept adding the GIF to the image piece and not to the text area.

    It does create an issue for me as I cannot just move that text box anywheres in Homeseer Designer. I have to highlight it and tell it where to be which is a bit of a PITA.

    If I put the pure image it shows up fine in the image box but doesn't have any animation. If I use bind the image in HTML as above then it just shows up as an X box with no image.

    Downloading the image to a statically configured name makes it easy though. Today with one unique graph I rename the graph to a unique static name via a script with is a bit of a pain but works for me.

      That seems to do it for me also now. I was always putting an image box not a text box.

      Only problem now is the size of the thing. Seems to be quite small. What is the proper size of this thing? And how can i get it bigger? I would like to have it 790 pixels wide

        That is where you edit the link to whatever size you want either pixel sized or percent sized. It is kind of a pita but does show a sharpness in an HD image.

        One way is editing this to say 50%

        <html lang="en"> <head><META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=600>
        </head> <body bgcolor="MidnightBlue" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
        <img src="hxxp://192.168.1.xx:xxxx/NYRad.gif" height="50%" width="50%"></img> </body> </html> or height="200%" width="200%"

        I left mine as above 100% and it shrinks to fit as you see above. Not sure if it will blur the image if you double the size. The downloaded names are always the same.

        If I use just the pure GIF then it shows only a partial image in HD (but it still moves). - IE: hxxp://192.168.1.xx:xxxx/NYRad.gif

            I could not size it right using pixels so stayed with percentages.

            The GIF fits just fine in whatever sized box I drop on the screen using Homeseer 3 designer. The above I showed a little radar picture of the US. It is the same link that I use for the full page radar map gif picture.

            Note here too it is all Wintel stuff that I play with. Home tabletop tablets. I do not think it is different with Android / iOS / Linux.

                  Try without the HTML code, only the HTTP url and do not tick isHTML in the textbox.
                  That worked for me with the latest version of HSTouch

                    Only the code works. But not that code posted for resizing.

                      Also if you select "Strech" and resize the text box?

                          the only bug I'm aware of is: http://bugzilla.homeseer.com/bugzill...ug.cgi?id=2410

                          but as you probably know, new bugs are marked as private so it's hard to know whats going on...

                              Here tried just the GIF in the text box. I can then resize the box but the GIF view whether ImageFormat is normal or stretched is just a partial image.
                              If I use the script then I cannot resize or even move the image. Here is where I just set the location/size manually to position and size it accordingly.

                              My bugzilla ticket is only related to using Homeseer Touch clients in Wintel.

                              It is bugzilla ticket number 2953. It reads like this:

                              Hi Resolution GIFs do not display in HSTouch clients running in windows.

                              - Subjective

                              Windows Homeseer 3 touch client doesn't display HD Gif images properely - no motion is displayed.

                              - Objective

                              1 - base HS3 is V.198 running on Ubuntu Linux 14.04 64bit
                              2 - base HS3 HStouchserver - most current release
                              3 - base HS3 Windows touch client running on XPe or Windows 10

                              No motion is displayed of hd gif images whether on HS3 box or on the internet.

                              - Asessment

                              Bug in Homeseer 3 touchserver or windows client.

                              - Plan

                              TBD

                                Wow, this worked for me also.

                                Why in God's name would you ever put an image in an IMAGE box? LOL.

                                Putting it in a text box worked perfectly and now has good updates. Now if I could set the radar to update more than once per hour in the WeatherXML schedule, we'd be set.
