It works but the syntax is a little confusing in QGIS 3.x You have to append the subdataset name to the file name to get it to open. Apparently we answered this previously, Nov 2018 http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Raster-formats-in-Qgis-3-4-tp5387220p5387355.html It will look something like: HDF4_EOS:EOS_GRID:"/home/user/MOD09A1.A2016313.h21v09.006.2016322094441.hdf":MOD_Grid_500m_Surface_Reflectance:sur_refl_b01 Thanks, Alex _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
