Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more!

Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more! 1.6.0

If you see this video export the timestamp overlay gets exported correctly. But the weather info is from the time of the export not of the recording. Does that sound right? Just double checking.

This is correct.
See this thread
 
Would it be possible to add a memory watchdog that would restart BI (service) if the allocated memory exceeds a limit?
It happened to me several times that BI service leaked and it killed other applications on the server.

Just installed Blue Iris Tools. Using latest version of Blue Iris V5. Your tool doesn't work for getting/displaying the cpu % used. Not that BI now shows the cpu usage at the bottom right of their screen. However, it it nice to be able to put all of the BIT information on a screen.

It does, but you have to enable it, enable push notifications, set up an account in Push and then add the CPU to one of the macros and then add it to the overlay.

Sure it does. In the Weather Overlay tab, press the Macros button, then click which # you want your macro to be, then click CPU Usage. You must have the CPU watchdog enabled in the Watchdog tab.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with connecting to their wunderground weather stations? Mine has been unable to connect since this morning and changing stations has no effect. Is it possible something in the wunderground API changed?

Wunderground is flaky as all get out. I'd give it 24hrs and see if it comes back.
 
Yep, no WU here either. Thanks Weather Channel/IBM, WU was a great site at one time...
 
Disappointing, we're getting the first big whammy of a storm this winter, would be nice to have it available. Odd I can get to it via browser, just not via API.
 
I hope it's not down for good. Weren't they planning to remove API access to Wunderground last year?

Noticed a typo in the app due to the API outage. It shows "retrynig in #"

As far as I can see, it fell over for me (in Spain) at about 1740GMT yesterday. The Davis is still reporting normally, it's just the BIT/API that's gone.
 
Just found this "End of Service for the Weather Underground API" announcement updated 2 days ago ;-( not happy about it. Any ideas how we can display our own API's in BI?
