Quick question (I like that approach!) - in which folder do you put the
script so that it survives reboots?
Thanks

Anything in /home/tc (and below) will survive a reboot, provided you do
a backup first (pcp bu).

Hmm - I'm going to give up on die.net for now. I figured out how to use
mysqueezebox.com's image proxy (I think), and managed to fetch one of
the other images via the proxy.
Code:
wget
"http://www.mysqueezebox.com/public/imageproxy?u=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.sat24.com%2Fmost
I've added a couple more to my own personal list of scrolling images:
Code:
#space station
wget
"https://www.heavens-above.com/orbitdisplay.aspx?icon=default&width=1024&height=1024&satid=25544";

Thanks Erland - the 'wget + cookies' approach seems
Solved it - I downloaded the wget extension from the piCore repository,
and now I can use the cookies.txt file that I exported from Firefox with
the 'export cookies' plug-in.
Thanks for the pointer!
