Problems getting TMS layer to work in JOSM

General talk
1

Hello there folks,

I’m trying to get the one of the National Library of Scotland’s TMS layers to work, but it come up with the red writing (“Error: No Protocol [tms url]”). It’s this URL: tms[20]:http://geo.nls.uk/mapdata3/os/london_1250/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png which is an OS map of london 1947-63, found here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/National_Library_of_Scotland. Now, the other URLs listed on that page all work fine, including the similar London 1893-6 map above it on the list, which I have working fine. I followed the same procedure for putting it into JOSM in both instances.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why it isn’t working?

You’re probably pasting whole URL and as a result, you get in field 3, address such as:

tms:tms[20]:http://geo.nls.uk/mapdata3/os/london_1250/{zoom}/{x}/{y}.png

Paste the address directly into field 3. Anyway - as far as I’ve checked, the layer doesn’t exists any more. Server returns for every tile 404 Not Found error.

Thanks for your reply. I didn’t paste the url wrong (as you described), so it must be the fact that it no longer exists, which is a shame since it’s a pretty useful layer.
