S63 & MBTiles charts not working properly in version 5.8.4

Hi all,

I have asked about this before but this is a more detailed description of the problem. Can not get S63 (NZ ENC charts) to work with MBTiles (satellite overlays Fiji & Tonga) in version 5.8. This was working fine in 5.6.

Problem : have charts in separate directories (see screen shot). Initially S63 charts are displayed and MBTiles are “off”. Zoom in on area of interest and S63 is displayed and an outline of MBTile is shown along with “chart Piano” along the bottom with the MBTile turned off. When I turn the MBTile on and LEAVE the cursor on the chart piano both charts are displayed (see screenshots), however as soon as cursor is moved off the chart piano the S63 chart disappears leaving only the MBTile. When I turn the MBTile off again the S63 chart does not re-appear. The only way to get the S63 chart back is to restart OPENCPN.

I am running OPENCPN on a MacMini Apple M1 OS – Ventura and also on MacLaptop Apple M1 Max OS – Ventura(latest OS). I have included screenshots of the settings.

To re-iterate this was all working in 5.6 and the only change I made was to update to 5.8.4 and I have tried the newly released 5.9 for MACOS version and it still doesn’t work. I think there is a bug.

Any help/suggestions gratefully received.

Re: S63 & MBTiles charts not working properly in version 5.8.4

Hi All,

HAven't had any replies from "experts". Maybe question was too complicated.

Basically after a lot of time and experiments I have concluded that there is a bug in version 5.8.x that means that S63 (NZ ENC charts) and MbTiles DO NOT work together. When I rolled back to 5.6.x it works fine. Apart from changing the version everything else is the same.

Maybe when the developers have a chance they can look into this bug.

I am starting to look into this situation.
Will you produce a couple of screenshots, showing the exact same geo location and scale, with one showing "correct" operation on O562, and another showing 'Incorrect" operation on O584?
This will help me localize the problem.


Thanks
Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks so much for your answer. I will endeavour to post some screenshots in the next 24-48hrs of what you have asked for.

Interestingly the same problem happens on a Windows computer as well.

Cheers
Alastair

Welp, it turns out that the bug is in OCPN core app, not the S63 plugin.
The github master has been corrected. The next official OCPN release will incorporate the corrections.


If you would like to test and verify, the OCPN installers for Windows and MacOS are available from Cloudsmith now:
https://cloudsmith.io/~david-registe...able/packages/


Despite the label on the repo, and the fact that these builds have not been subject to rigorous Beta testing yet, I'd judge that they are stable for basic OCPN functionality, and OK for daily use in your particular configuration. YMMV.


Looking forward to your feedback
Dave

Re: S63 & MBTiles charts not working properly in version 5.8.4

Hi Dave,

Have tested it and it works perfectly. The release is a little unstable i.e shuts down occasionally and has debugging errors when start it but I presume these will go in the proper release.

When will the next official release of OpenCPN be ?

Thanks for all the help

Cheers
Alastair

Hi Dave,

The 5.9.0 from Cloudsmith fixes the problem for me.

Thanks a lot for your help, and for the great program!

Robert.
