Self-Updating Movies are Having Troubles

The Kiosk, or Self-Updating, movies no longer work if started from a .html file on a machine other than the SDO server. They do work if they are started from the SDO website (such as by clicking the link at http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/kiosk.php.

This is related to a website security update. Frames from outside the sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov domain can't initiate an iframe without having that specific website on a whitelist. We are working to deliver the same functionality without having to maintain that whitelist.

Until then, please use the three examples on the kiosk webpage.

Happy π Day!
