Hi Mike I just got my Blue Iris tools up and running in my Blue Iris software. I have added 3 things to 1 camera. Wind Speed ~ Temperature ~ and Wind Description. Everything works fine except for one thing. Now that I have the Wind Description up it won't let me click on it and change the font etc. I just get the spinning wheel going round and round. Any suggestions to fix my problem?? Anything would be great 
Thank you
Thank you I had to rebuild my machine running BI tools so I am setting everything back up. For some reason with I click on the BI Macros button, the Macro window does not open. Well technically it opens on the taskbar, but the window can't be found. It's like it is not on the screen or hidden behind something. You can see it if you click on the BI tools icons on the taskbar but I can't bring the Macro window forward? Any of that make sense?
Help needed.
Running BI 4.2.9.0 and BI tools. Cant get the weather ovelay to work. Error connecting to wunderground... Nothing wrong with my connection! BIT generates only 2 txt files.. cpu and humidity.. Any solutions?

Mike, I just installed BIT for the first time on my BI v4 (most current update applied), and it worked like a charm, first try. The help popups are very clearly written, and I had no difficulty getting it set up - even w/o referring to the first post instructions or the forum in general.
However, doing a quick search on the 17 pages here, I was unable to find whether you ever implemented the ability to collect/display data from more than one station at a time. In 2014 you posted something about considering it, but aside from that, I don't see any activity. Is this still on the back burner (if so, consider this a thumbs-up vote), or is it a hidden feature that I just missed?
Thanks again for a great product. Between you and BP2000, BI4 is a gem!

So, having had a few more days to play with this, I've noticed a peculiar side-effect. So far, I've only applied the macros to one (of my 30) cameras. Initially, I had only CPU and temp (as a single line), and it was working just fine.
All of my cameras are the 3MP Hiks - set to 720, 15fps. I also have date/time/camera name/FPS/KBps as an overlay, all on a single line.
I then tried adding multiple lines, each with its own BIT variable (wind, temp, humidity, pressure, cpu). After doing so, the frame rate on that particular camera becomes very volatile - dropped to about 4FPS. As soon as I removed the lines, it went back to 15fps. What's even more interesting is that all the other cameras remain at 15fps, while the one with the extra lines of overlay text is at the lower rate.
This is the long way of me asking, does the number of BIT variables/lines used in an overlay have that much of an effect on BI's ability to maintain the camera's frame rate?

Hi, I'm running version 1.1.0 with blue iris 4.2.9.1 x64 and I recently ran into an overlay issue where the degree symbol (for temperature) shows up as an unknown character with the OCR A overlay font. Is this a blue iris issue?

Getting comfortable
I think this is more of a Blue Iris problem. I went in and modified the temperature.txt and pasted the degree symbol from windows character map and got the same result. In fact any special symbol that is tried yields the same result. But if you put the degree symbol directly in the macro field in BI it works. Maybe something with reading from the text file. There was a BI update a few days ago....
Thanks for the bug reports all. This is definetely something with Blue Iris, it seems to have started with a recent update. I have contacted Ken about it and in the meantime will look for a work-around.
Version 4.2.9.2 just released and the Symbol issue is fixed.
