Nobody would have guessed that BIT would try to execute any scripts included in the response. This is most likely the result of BIT using some kind of Internet Explorer component to load the weather data when it should just be using a plain HTTP(s) component.
 
Same exact error with high CPU usage multiple times over the past few days. I am only able to close BI Tools from task manager once the error pops up.

Same here as well
 
I am aware of these bugs and have been experiencing them too. WU changed some stuff around that isn't playing well with BIT's main and backup method of retrieving weather. I have a potential fix running on my Blue Iris rig now that I am testing with hopes of releasing soon.

Now I feel like a dolt for starting a new thread on this problem before looking at the latest posts here. But, in any case. me too! Thanks for what you're doing @Mike.

lol it's really not a big deal, I am glad that people care enough to report bugs. I'm actually working on it right now as well. I had started creating a bunch of new features a month or so ago but got real busy, so this is forcing me to roll out the new features and fix!

New features are
  • Batch camera configuration - change settings on multiple cameras at once
  • Key manager - find your machine's key plus store other keys
  • UI improvements - cleaned up the UI a bit, put all weather settings on the Weather Overlay tab, etc.
Proxy will be released shortly thereafter.

Hi! I've just tried installing BIT on a Win 10 64-bit laptop running BI4 and keep getting error message - Can't create Directory!?
Any suggestions/help, please?
 
Program is locking up with a script error.
Have stopped using it as issue happens three or more times a day .
Also I thought WU was ending outside API access?

Please add the ability to use clientraw.txt.

You stated this yesterday in another thread.....@Mike previously stated that he is very aware of the problem and is working on a fix and as far as I know, he requires some sleep now and then like most of us....unlike @fenderman . :cool:

That thread was closed and it's contents not moved here.

I understand devs and sleep. I have over 10 of them I work with daily.

I also offered suggestions for alternative weather source.

Relax....
 
BI Tools is not the only program affected by WU.. I have OpenSprinkler and it is supposed to adjust my irrigation time based on my weather station but has been inconsistent since the WU issues developed.

Is there a way for BIT to interface directly with a weather station's client software? For example, my Accurite station runs "accurite PC connect" on a PC which is what pulls the data in from the weather station, and then uploads it to WU. I always thought it was a bit of an inefficient process to first push the data to the cloud, to then have BIT go fetch it, when it was on the local network to begin with. Though, I suppose from a developer standpoint, having to interface with countless application clients vs one cloud-based API is probably an impossibility.
 
I also recommended that. Using clientraw.txt for Weather-Display users also (there are hundreds). Much better then WU.

Any way of getting rid of the ads?
Paid version?
Donations?

Don't like ad based apps on any server.

Thanks.

The BI image has been there for a while, before that was something different. Only thing new is IPCT DDNS image. No way of removing them.

Then you of all people you should understand that 2 weeks may not be enough time to resolve.
