Announcing Carousel 5.2.6
Carousel 5.2.6 is officially released!
To those of you who have been patiently waiting for your weather bulletins and crawls to update, your wait is over! Carousel now retrieves weather data via WeatherBug rather than the National Weather Service FTP site. Gone are the days of battling the firewall to open the FTP ports, as access to HTTP port 80 is the only requirement.
We tried to keep the user-interface changes as minimal as possible, so if you knew how to use weather bulletins before, you know how to use them now. The only big difference is that you now use a ZIP code instead of selecting your State and County. Weather crawls have another bigger change, namely that you can now specify the exact format of your weather crawl. The Carousel manual has been updated accordingly, so check it out.
To request this update, please email our support team at support@trms.com. In your email, please include the following items:
-Your name and organization
-Your current version of Carousel
If you haven't yet filled out a customer registration form, please head over to http:// www.trms.com/registration and fill one out.
Thank you!

The digital clock custom format of h:mm (single digit hours will not have a leading zero:single digit minutes will have a leading zero) will auto-scale the text as expected.

Weather data is now pulled from WeatherBug, resulting in reliable updates.

Inappropriate?We just upgraded to 5.2.6 today. We had no problems with the Carousel Player. However, the instructions didn't list the SX-4, so we weren't sure what to do. We ended up installing the 5.2.6 Framework on the SX-4 which appears to be what it wanted us to do anyway.
I try never to assume anything when upgrading and usually take TRMS documentation at face value.
I wouldn'tve attempted the update on the SX-4 but for the fact that I had done a Cablecast update recently and I remember having to update the Carousel Framework then.
I’m confused
