Update SatNogs DB impact on download SatNogs data?

[Lex Peters]

Dear all,

Since today I only got a very limited number of satellites visible in SkyRoof after start-up update and even after manual updates of the sat data. Looking in the Sats and groups menu, I see that the sats that are selected in my groups are not in the main selection anymore. Has anything to do with he SatNOGS DB and API update, planned for 27 august 2026, as I found in this article below?

Looking forward to any advice.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

This change does not apply to SkyRoof, but there was another change that broke the satellite data format. I am working on this.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your prompt reply. 

I hope you'll be able to create a work around for this in SkyRoof, which by the way has really become a fantastic piece of software!!! 

I'm relieved that it's not my PC settings that caused this issue, hi.
Looking forward to any possible solution.

Kind regards, 73,

Hi Alex,

Thank you so much for the quick repair. Just installed 1.51 and all seems to work as before. 

Noticed  you also included some additional changes. 

I've the auto selection feature running all day so I can test it today.

Thank you so much again for the quick repair and the brilliant work on SkyRoof. Much appreciated!  

Kind regards,
