TL-MR3020 - trouble with wunderground upload

Hello all, I'm new to the forums but I've been using the Meteobridge platform with success for a while now. That is, until a week or two ago. I noticed that the rapid fire uploads to Weather Underground had stopped working. The data still seemed to be flowing in (meaning, I assume, that Wunderground was pulling the data from CWOP or Madis). I tried reentering my password, changing the upload interval restarting the device, even rolling back to previous firmware. Nothing seemed to work. I'm at a loss for what's going on.

The symptoms are hard to pin down. When I change the upload interval on the Weather Networks page of the web interface, it seems to send Wunderground a blank...when I visit my station page, everything is zeroed out with dashes --. Then data will gradually reappear as I refresh the page over the next minute or so, but the page still shows that the last update was minutes ago, not seconds. So frustrating!

This is what I'm seeing in my System section:
Platform: TL-MR3020 (no USB hub)
RAM: 29364 kB total, 3772 kB free (87% used)
SW Version: Meteobridge 3.2 (Mar 29 2017, build 11007), FW 1.4
Uptime: 0 hours, 26 minutes Buffer: 0 items (0%)

CWOP: 2017-03-30 19:00:52 Success!
HTTP Upload: 2017-03-30 18:58:05 Success!


So I'm not sure what to do next. I assume this is something simple like a timezone mismatch (I'm in Eastern Time and it's totally possible that this problem started during the change to Daylight Savings) but both WU and Meteobridge have me correctly in "America/New_York". And it's still making history graphs, which is nice. It's just not a rapid fire station anymore. (And, because the station now falls outside of their data quality standards, WU no longer displays an active station icon on the map.) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

WUs services do have some hickups here and there as they are facing a huge workload.
When Meteobridge reports on live data tab that upload was successful, then WU has
received the data. When they do not make proper use of it, there is little I can do.

WXFOURM.NET is imho a good place to stay in touch with WUs current status and issues: http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?board=90.0

Hi,
I've just set up my Davis VP2 yesterday. I'm using weather link with Meteobridge MR3020 (and USB hub). I'm having some problems uploading data to WUnderground. It's the only site I wish to upload to. Only some of my data appears on the site. I thought it might be waiting to validate my data over a 24 hour period, but then I found these errors in the Meteobridge log.... The errors are different each time I reboot the Meteobridge. The Live Data tab shows a tick on Underground with regular interval uploads.

These kind of errors are rather untypical for a Vantage with USB logger.
Which type of USB hub are you using? Can you try with another one?
