Kartaview - anyone else finding it impossible to view images in iD

Since the Panoramax FR guys have understandably reminded us that their instance is not really for us outside France, I’ve dusted off Kartaview and uploaded a sequence. But I find it’s not working. Can anyone have a look at this trace and confirm whether it works for them:

  • KartaView - Images visible in Edge but not in Firefox. In Firefox it feels like the page isn’t loading fully; the map in the bottom left doesn’t come up and the images don’t either. Same goes for all my traces.
  • OpenStreetMap When editing the map here, I can call up the blue markers for each Kartaview image, but the images don’t display. I get a ‘spinner’ and a broken image icon. In both Edge and Firefox.

Is it just me? Is Kartaview now known-broken? Or is there something up temporarily? Any comments on Kartaview reliability in general?

This works fine for me in Firefox, both the photos and the map.

I can confirm this. The photo couldn’t be loaded because it doesn’t exist (“404 Not Found”):
https://storage13.openstreetcam.org/files/photo/2026/4/30/proc/11634968_d71f0894fc1d00f8566c09473ddc3f18.jpg

https://api.openstreetcam.org/2.0/photo/?sequenceId=11634968&sequenceIndex=19

The https://api.openstreetcam.org URLs returned by the KartaView server no longer seem to work:
fileurlProc "https://storage13.openstreetcam.org/files/photo/2026/4/30/proc/11634968_d71f0894fc1d00f8566c09473ddc3f18.jpg"

It appears that https://cdn.kartaview.org URLs are now the correct ones.

imageProcUrl "https://cdn.kartaview.org/pr:sharp/aHR0cHM6Ly9zdG9yYWdlMTMub3BlbnN0cmVldGNhbS5vcmcvZmlsZXMvcGhvdG8vMjAyNi80LzMwL3Byb2MvMTE2MzQ5NjhfZDcxZjA4OTRmYzFkMDBmODU2NmMwOTQ3M2RkYzNmMTguanBn"

I can confirm that the cdn.kartaview.org image url works for me.

Would that mean a change needed to iD to bring in the image from that CDN?

Yes, that is correct.

KartaView has been behaving intermittently over the last couple of weeks (or months). First it did not show any traces anymore, totally none. A week or so later the website did not respond at all. After a week or more it seemed to work again. But lately my user page does not show any screenshots of my traces, and sometimes the statistics are also null.

I’ve raised this issue with the iD github:- Kartaview streetside imagery not working - may be a problem in iD (rather than Kartaview) · Issue #7058 · openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website · GitHub (EDIT: This report has been rebuffed as a problem at Kartaview; I’ve emailed Kartaview with a freeform bug report)

The KartaView web interface is working for me today.
