Once i've confirmed this works, i'll come up with a solution to allow users to select there own cameras.

I'll test for ya. I'm off for the next 3 days too (not that that has any bearing this... lol)

ok, well I had to rename the folder from livetrafficTEST to livetraffic, so the the exe would run, but it only ran for a second, creating only a trafficland.txt file in my livetraffic folder. No pics in my skin folder. Did I miss something?

edit... the text file is in XML format if that helps...

there's a folder inside of the livetrafficTest folder called livetraffic. That folder goes in your rr folder. Then go into that folder and open the ini. should read like this:

[livetraffic]
filepath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\livetraffic
skinpath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\skins\MC2.5

if filepath is something different, change it as it says above. Then change skin path to name of your skin folder. Do not put the "\" after the name.

The text file should just be a text file, not an .xml. Please confirm its .xml, if it is there's a problem

got the ini.. that's edited as should.

Code:

[livetraffic]
filepath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\livetraffic
skinpath=C:\Program Files\Road Runner\skins\CobraSkin_07

the text file is trafficland.txt, but if you open the file, the file structure is xml. Attaching first few lines:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- City: DC - Baltimore-Washington Area (430 cameras) -->
<!--  Schema: v100.0.  Report data errors to drew@zitnay.com . -->
<Region>
        <RegionID>20000</RegionID>
        <Subregions>
		<Subregion>
			<SubregionName>DC - Washington (City)</SubregionName>
			<Cameras>
				<Camera>
					<CameraID>200111</CameraID>
					<CameraName>12th St  NW and Constitution Ave  NW</CameraName>
					<CameraURL>http://pub.camera.trafficland.com/trafficimage.php?system=pub&amp;webid=200111&amp;pubtoken=5fe8245d2447dca9690ecf6a5f467b29</CameraURL>
				</Camera>

And like I said, the program only runs for a second, just long enough to create the text/xml file, then it closes without warning.

ok the text file is as it should be.. i just converted the xml downloaded to a .txt so autoit can read it. Now why its not pulling the images is beyond me. Try this .exe (just copy it over your existing one). And make sure you have the latest autoit (they released a new one over the weekend).

while ur at it tell me what size your .txt file is. Should be 116kb

Sweet a new version of AutoIT and an update to SCITE. lol anyways... sorry dude, same result. runs for a sec, creates the txt file, then closes out.

yep, 116kb

well damn! Ok check to make sure you only have one livetraffic folder. Make sure its C:\program files\road runner\livetraffic and not C:\program files\road runner\livetraffic\livetraffic. If this is the case then please try this customized version of the .exe. Its my first version without the variables for file and skin path. It will put the .txt file in C:\program files\road runner\livetraffic\livetraffic and read it from there. Then it'll pull the images and place them in your CobraSkin_07 folder. Both versions are working on all of my computers.
