[Solved] Old yr.no forecast widget replaced by new svg version - how to upgrade?

1

Hi,
yr.no is deprecating old meteogram.png and replacing it by new meteogram.svg.
I’m using camera and picture-entity:

  - platform: generic
    still_image_url: "https://www.yr.no/place/Czech_Republic/Moravia-Silesia/Fr%C3%BDdek-M%C3%ADstek/meteogram.png"
    name: Meteogram

type: picture-entity
entity: camera.meteogram
name: Předpověď Frýdek-Místek
camera_image: camera.meteogram
show_name: false
show_state: false

But this does not work with svg (https://www.yr.no/en/content/2-3076127/meteogram.svg). Does camera supports svg? How to fix it?

Fixed: Proper content_type needs to be specified.

  - platform: generic
    still_image_url: "https://www.yr.no/en/content/2-3076127/meteogram.svg"
    name: Meteogram
    content_type: "image/svg+xml"

I don’t get this working. Has anyone a running version of the yr meteogram.svg in 2024 that updates at least once a day? If yes, please describe how to achieve this.

Hi,
the generic camera plugin is now managed from GUI. There is also part about yr.no meteogram in documentation.

But if enter https://www.yr.no/en/content/1-72837/meteogram.svg I get an error “URL hat kein gültiges Standbild zurückgegeben” which means “The URL has not returned a valid still image”. Does this work in your installation?

You are right. It does not work from GUI. I got the same error. Even with url I’m already using and that was migrated from yaml config. So it looks like bug to me.

Update:
content of file .storage/core.config_entries

      {
        "data": {},
        "disabled_by": null,
        "domain": "generic",
        "entry_id": "75b7de68771fc926845ee70ae6bd50b8",
        "minor_version": 1,
        "options": {
          "name": "Meteogram",
          "still_image_url": "https://www.yr.no/en/content/2-3076127/meteogram.svg",
          "stream_source": null,
          "authentication": "basic",
          "username": null,
          "password": null,
          "limit_refetch_to_url_change": false,
          "content_type": "image/svg+xml",
          "framerate": 2,
          "verify_ssl": true
        },
        "pref_disable_new_entities": false,
        "pref_disable_polling": false,
        "source": "import",
        "title": "Meteogram",
        "unique_id": "5315d8f3fa356c55b90989f0c35328ec",
        "version": 1
      },

I thing the key could be the "content_type": "image/svg+xml" row.
