ncWMS Google Earth animation broken in 4.5.4 about thredds HOT 17 CLOSED

Ping. @lesserwhirls , @dopplershift ?
This issue is not just mine but yours as well on http://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds

from thredds.

Hmmm...it looks like the time information is not getting encoded in the
newer kml file, although the layers are all there in the kmz. I'll dig in
and see what I can find out, although I first need to figure out on which
side the kml is being generated (TDS or ncWms). I've CC'd Ethan just in
case he knows off the top of his head.

It should be the ncwms, right @ethanrd ?

Yeah, I'm quite sure it is ncWMS not THREDDS.

@lesserwhirls , are you looking into this? My boss is dying to make an animation of a winter storm and can't until this is fixed.

Hi @rsignell-usgs - I am looking into it. I found where the tag is getting dropped, but I might need to ping Reading to see if they have a quick fix.

Hi @rsignell-usgs - this should be fixed in on the master branch of ncWMS here on git (https://github.com/Unidata/ncWMS). The master branch version (1.2.tds.4.6.0-SNAPSHOT) of ncWMS is what is being used in tds 4.6.

from thredds.

@lesserwhirls , awesome! Is there a way we could patch our 4.5 on our development server, or would you recommend trying 4.6?

from thredds.

@rsignell-usgs - do you guys serve GRIB? Do you have FMRCs?

from thredds.

Yes, we have both GRIB and FMRCs.

A few weeks back I recommended 4.6 to a user, which spun up an internal discussion on when we should reccommend 4.3 vs 4.5 vs 4.6. Here is what @JohnLCaron had to say:

"AFAICT, NcML Aggregations are working <on 4.5>. So, unless they are using FMRC, I would recommend 4.5, and 4.6 for anyone serving GRIB. On FMRC, 4.3 is the safest solution, but not exactly solid."

Are you feeling adventurous? Trying 4.6 would be a great way for someone to really kick the tires. We've been using it on our development server, but it hardly sees any use :-( If not, I could apply a patch to our 4.5.5 branch for the simple GoogleEarth fix and you could use that. Just know that GRIB is known to be broken on 4.5 (and below, for that matter).

I'm getting some fixes together for THREDDS 4.5.5. Is there any reason we can't include this? It looks like we'd need to create a "uk.ac.rdg.resc:ncwms:1.2.tds.4.5.5" artifact.

from thredds.

I hope that this can get included!

from thredds.

It will be included :-) w00t!

Yes, just confirmed the time slider is back in 4.5.5!
