It seems that at least a part of the problem is that some satellite identifiers have been changed in Celestrak's TLE lists. For example, AO-27 is listed as "EYESAT-1 (AO-27)" in http:// celestrak. com/NORAD/ elements/ amateur. txt
NOAA have suffixes to their names (single characters in square brackets) without an apparent meaning. It is possible that this makes them unrecognisable to the plug-in.
I'm going to try and fix what I can.
