XnView Software

It seems that the google satellite map stop working in XnviewMP these days.
I can see the street map but when turn to satellite map I can only see "sorry, we have no imagery here".

you means the tab for GPS?

Yes, and only on Linux.
I just opened the Windows version in Virtual Machine and I could see the satellite map. I dont know why.
My OS is Linuxmint 17 64bit.

on Ubuntu, i don't have the problem...

Of course, I don't know how it is implemented, but very probably the program has just a stub and a drawing surface which communicates with the Google Map's backend/API.

Are you sure that the communication isn't blocked by any firewall, security rules etc.?

Other program(s) access the service successfully? (eg. try Mint's Firefox - it opens the Maps?)

Yes. I can see the satellite maps on maps.google.com using firefox flawlessly, the same as the street map on XnView. I don't enable any firewall.
I tried to delete all settings but it didn't help. It's really strange...

I'm not a Linux user, but perhaps the following information is useful for troubleshooting:

Hello, FI:... I can confirm, same problem here under Ubuntu 10.4 LTS 64bits (satellite map - tab GPS).
error message under the map (in french): "Désolé. aucune image n'est disponible pour cette ZONE" quelque soit la zone concernée (for all zones : "Sorry. we have no imagery here".)

XnviewMP can capture GIF and PNG images, but neither JPG nor google maps layer.

This is a screenshot of a Panoramio page: and this is what captured by XnviewMP:

Thank you, rmtk. I think we've found the cause for the problem. Let's wait for Pierre's response.

... A black listed problem from google map if the area is too large (too many requests of data in some cases) ???

No, I believe it's a problem with dependencies.
XnViewMP relies on the WebKit module of the Qt framework for rendering HTML pages, and WebKit seems to depend on the IJG library for displaying JPEG images.
