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

[mycoma]

Thanks for all your hard work on BIT, keep up the good work!
Will the next update fix the watchdog webserver monitor for BI4?
I keep getting error 0 and error13 type mismatch, for now I just disabled it.
Any ideas when we can see another update?

Thanks for the compliment, glad you enjoy it. The next update will fix all BI4 related issues, and I am actually working on it right now. I'm really hoping to have it complete in July. I also made a few UI adjustments and added a few more features such as CPU monitor macro and a few other things.

Thanks everyone for their patience.

Mike,

It's been a while since I've commented so I just wanted to say thanks again for Blue Iris Tools. I've recently upgraded to BI4 so I'm looking forward to your next release. Thanks again.

On iPads ui2.htm is not responsive to touch with bi4 is this a known issue? And idea how to fix? Thanks

Been using BIT for a while now and think it is just great.
One problem I notice every so often is it will lose my weather station ID. I'll notice the overlay is not updating and when I go into BIT the Station ID box will be empty and there is no pick in the drop down. I'll put the ID back in and it will work for weeks at a time. I'm running BIT as a service on Windows 8.1 64 bit and the PC is rebooted every day but the problem seems to be random.

One other idea for the next version - add "Feels Like" to the data to retrieve since heat index / wind chill don't always calculate on WU.

Thanks

Here is a utility you can use with Blue Iris to monitor all the resources used by Blue Iris along with the entire system

I'm sorry about the delay, it's killing me too, trust me...just been swamped lately with work. Things have died down a bit so I can start pushing out updates to BIT very soon (promise). I already have reworked the UI a little bit, fixed some known bugs and added a few new features. Just finishing up the BI4 integration. Thanks for your patience everyone.

In the meantime you can still use BIT, you just need to manually set your macros in Blue Iris.

**Update** Made huge progress yesterday and today, will be releasing a beta version soon exclusively to the BIT Beta Team that is compatible with BI4. If you would like to help beta test, please send me a PM. I expect a stable version to be released soon thereafter.

 

[Mike]

The beta team is currently testing v1.1 which addresses all BI4 compatibility issues. Here's a sneak peek of v1.1.....If you would like to become a beta tester, please PM me!

 

[Mike]

Beta testing is done. Version 1.1 will be released on or before September 27th (next weekend).

Not sure if this was a question, I searched but didn't find it. Under the settings is there a way to update or add the feels like temperature. Here in Texas it's usually a lot hotter than the temp shows. Would be nice. Tried Heat Index but always shows N/A. Not sure it

Impatiently waiting... :wacko:

Looking forward to this too!

Its 23.55 over here in the Netherlands.
In about 5 minutes the 'on or before 27 September' must be rewritten to 'ON 27 September'.
Cannot wait to see all improvements.

Thanks!

You did it again! Very nice work.
Thanks for fixing all this nice stuff.
And.. perfectly in sync with what you promised.
Double applause!

Happiness has reached a peak level again here at the nuclear bunker.


One tiny, tiny, tiny detail:
We use BI on several servers. The main server is a huge Dell machine dealing with about 40 cams and information streams.
That server is only accessible through a remote session or teamviewer session. Screen size is limited to 1024x768.
All of your GUI fits into this screen size, except for the part where we are able to enter our own language definitions.
As soon as we enter that part of the program, we cannot see the menu's anymore. I would suggest in breaking up this section into 2 tabs.. We cannot be the only one running a server without special videocards etc (and therefore stuck to the 1024x768)

But again: great job!

PS: We will now shut all blast doors and enjoy the new software!
