    Problem with Jon00_HTML2Image utility.

    It was working last night but today I get this error:

    What does your Jon00_HTML2Image.ini file look like. The one you posted is the Jon00ImageDemo1.ini.

    Here's what my #2 Jon00_HTML2Image.ini entry looks like:
    Pete, the ini I have posted is the ini it's using.

      I never saw a png file in the html location. How does your scripting references look in the settings ini file. I put a comma where a period should be on mine when I put in the weather xml stuff. Mine looks like:

      ScriptingReferences=System.XML;System.XML.dll,System.Drawing ;System.Drawing.dll,System.Drawing.Image;System.Drawing.dll, system.data;System.Data.Dll;system.Web;system.Web.Dll

        The png files are in html/images/,

        I wondered about the comma, as you say it should be a semi-colon, but thats what the instructions say and the emphisise it's a comma!

        I think I will change it and see what happens.

          Do not change it - it screws up completely.

            Gogs,

            I cannot see what would cause it. Is it only Capture 2 causing the issue?

              Hi Jon, I did not think you would spot anything wrong as it is set up basically text book.

              It's all Captures except Capture 1!

              I think I may have found the problem, the script is being called for a different capture while it is still running. I am going to try and prevent that happening by just calling the script once with no parms every so often.

                How about only allowing one instance of the script to run in each event?

                  That did work, however, running it without any Parm works great so leaving it at that.

                  Is there any way to set the background to transparent?

                    No, but that can be done by running it through my Image builder utility.

                      OK so are you saying dump the HTML2Image utility and go for the image builder?

                        No, You would need to put the captured image through image builder to achieve background transparency. I appreciate it is another process but it works!

                          OK, I spoke far too soon.

                          Error error error everytime. So I thought I would look at the HS ini file entry as I have alwayas thought it was wrong. So where I added the drawing bit to the Scriptingreferences I changed it to what I thought it should be, thus
                          Code:
                          ScriptingReferences=System.XML;System.XML.dll;System.Drawing;System.Drawing.dll
                          that caused havoc in the logs, so changed it back to
                          Code:
                          ScriptingReferences=System.XML;System.XML.dll, System.Drawing;System.Drawing.dll
                          and that gave me the original error back!

                          This happens every time it runs regardless of instance called, however, stangely, after a reboot it does not fail untill HS has ben running for about 4/5 hours.

                          Any ideas as I am stumpted.

                            Gogs,

                            When this happens again, change the image file names in the ini file temporarily to see if the problem goes away. It maybe that you are using the image and it is somehow locking it so that the file cannot be updated.

                            It's not the solution, but need to identify what is causing the error.

                              Ok Jon, will do.

                              I have made a slight change to the way things trigger. I had some of the graphs triggering every 5 mins and others every 30, noticed in the log of the one that triggers every 5 mins
                              01/05/2012 23:48:34 ~!~Script~!~Script Jon00VDGraphing.vben("Main","8") is currently running, waiting for it complete before its run again

                              so have changed the events to all trigger together every 30 mins and the graph to image 10 mins after that using the wait command in the event.
