I have a loop radar that is generated by a php script is this going to be supported anytime soon?

Interesting question...

Could you provide a copy of the script, please? I'm curious as to its functionality and complexity.
Our hosting architecture is not designed host arbitrary PHP scripts. We might explore the possibility of allowing the presentation output from scripts that you self-host; or figure out how to pass on the costs of providing hosting...

...Terry.

It's not my script. It's from a weather site that provides the loop which has a gif image output.

Why don't you just point to the referenced GIF URL(s) then?

https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/Loop/NatLoop.gif
https://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/Loop/pacnorthwest_loop.gif
etc.

Uhhhh didn't see those.

Ok another question same problem.

Why can't that media url work ?

This URL works fine for me...

You get a loop ? All I get is a 1 frame gif.

You're right... it appears that there is only one frame.

The source website that this is embedded within must be using Javascript / AJAX to cycle through the images in your browser.

There is no way for us to embed their arbitrary front-end implementation into an ActionTiles Media Tile.

Ok.
