I have spent awhile going through MODISTools tutorials, searching for my error code, looking at the source code. However, I have not been able to find any relevant information related to my error message.

I am trying to use EVI and NDVI to assess seasonal variation thus I would like mean EVI and NDVI for each observation (each time each buffalo was captured). I have capture date, lat and long for each observation.

I have also tried using wider date ranges as well as wider size ranges (in case the pixel reliability is poor within a certain area or time frame) but still get the same messages.

I don't and you have not provided the accepted means to investigate which would be code and data . Have you contacted the package maintainer?
