Dear developers,

with first real time data of MTG-I1 now available on EUMETCast I made the 'airmass' image attached below without any problem. Then I wanted to do a composite 'natural_color' with the same raw data from 202311021030. I got an error message and consequently conda updated satpy. Unfortunately I don't remember the satpy version I started with but now I have:


# Name                    Version                   Build    Channel
satpy                        0.44.0                     pyhd8ed1ab_0    conda-forge
pyresample             1.27.1                    py311h320fe9a_0    conda-forge


But I constantly get the same error with different MTG slots, areas and composites. Even composite 'airmass' does not work anymore and now also has this very same error.

I attach the full debug output as a text file. Any ideas?

Best regards,
Ernst

Dear Developers,

I wonder whether my problem is related to this FCI reader issue


From the discussion on github it seems to me that the 40 data
segments are sorted by time but all have the same slot time?!

Actually if I load the global scene with  "pad_data=False"  I can
again make composite 'airmass' and also composite 'natural_color'
though that takes extremely long processing times (Intel XEON
32GB RAM, moderately loaded with other satpy processing tasks).

'airmass'
real    4m24.796s
user    6m51.223s
sys     0m16.339s

'natural_color'
real    7m22.727s
user    22m8.219s
sys     1m17.345s

I can also make composite 'convection' and 'true_color_raw'.
But when I want to make composite 'true_color' it fails with
an error that might again point to a block sorting problem?!
(Debug output from composite 'true_color' attached below)

'convection'
real    9m16.715s
user    20m55.170s
sys     0m57.754s

'true_color_raw'
real    8m52.891s
user    23m6.892s
sys     1m9.177s


Now that "manufacturers" get  first real time MTG FCI data via
EUMETCast I expect more users will have/report similar problems.

Best regards,
Ernst

Dear All,

I have sorted the problem and sorry it was all my fault. I made my choice of files with a glob() of the processing time instead of the start time.
While this has worked with the EUMETSAT FCI L1C test data (except for enhanced composites) I expected it to work for real time data as well.
Rereading issue 2588 I finally found the problem. All is working now with "pad_data=True" and my processing times are below 1 minute as well.

Have a nice WE,
Ernst

Dear Ernst,

I'm glad you got it to work in the end :)

Best regards,
Martin
