Hey,
With all the storms going on the East Coast with Hurricane Sandy I thought about finding some real-time weather images either from MODIS (NASA WorldWind) or NWS Dopplar (Google Earth), sadly neither options seem to be working. Any ideas?

Tried the following -
1) WMS. Create A New Map >> WMS Servers >> (from here http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Avail ... FS+servers ) >> All of them end with Wizard Cannot Parse Response.
2) NWS KMZ/KML Files >> Open File >> No Error, but nothing happens.
http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/kmzgenerator.php
http://www.srh.noaa.gov/gis/kml/

Any help is appreciated.

If you enable debugging output (run kdebugdialog and enable all areas) and watch the console output when running Marble, is anything relevant to the above output?

As far as I remember we don't handle all WMS possibilities yet. I filed Bug #309208 in the hope that Utku (who did much of the work on the wizard) takes a look at it.

I just saved a generated KMZ file, unzipped it and had a quick look at it: The KML mostly makes use of a ScreenOverlay and a NetworkLink. Both of these tags are currently not supported.

I saw the bug report, I will take a look at that as soon as possible.
