Jon00 HTML to Image Utility

[ben pownall]

Hi Jon. I am getting this in my error log. This is a trimmed down version. It goes on for a bit. Don't know what it refers to or even what event that calls the script. I do have a number of events that call various grabs. All timed to operate at diff times so that they don't clash and also only one instance allowed to run at any time.

Regards
Ben

I would delete the log and then test your grabs individually until it errors. Basically the exe file is unable to grab the page you have defined....

[ben pownall]

OK thanks for the heads up . Will give it closer looking at. Thanks !

Hi jon,

is it also possible that this script can use an other browser than ie? mine doesnt work anymore

regards

[jon00]

No, it uses the web browser object built into VB.NET (which uses IE).

Hi Jon, hopefully a quick question, I am trying to setup html to image to take a photo of a website, specifically hstile site I created. First thing, the html2png is working normally on many websites, ie google. so I know I have it installed and working (mostly) correct. when I point it to my hstile page, I constantly get the "navigation to webpage has been canceled". reading other posts, I tried it on the system with homeseer using the regular Internet explorer and the site pulls fine. so my question is, could it be that the interpreter engine doesnt support that type of site, the .ash extension or maybe its having issue due to a basic digest logon. I tried adding username and password to the url but it had no effect. also I beleive I have a range to not require authentication on my lan and obviously the HS server is on it, so I cant rule this out but im fairly sure it isnt the case. im kinda lost at this point, and id really like to figure it out as this is super helpful! oh, and lastly, I did increase the delay from 0 to around 15 seconds in increments. no dice. the page loads in 1-2 in IE. thank you!

I've just tried it here and can confirm it cannot capture a HSTile page. It's not really surprising as the browser control used is obsolete and HSTile pages are full of JQuery and other code etc.

Nothing I can do with this. The only option would be to look at my PC capture utility but not so convenient: https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/3r...apture-utility.

I assume you need to take a snapshot automatically?

[esprits300]

yeah after reading more after my post I came across that possibility and did try the pc capture. I installed it but I cant get it to work at all. I think its because im on a VM and using server 2016. I think the virtual display is the issue there. im researching using python and php to do it now, unless you might know of how to get the capture to work on a vm? thanks for the quick reply!
