hi bill, i made a wiki page to explain the registry: https://github.com/weewx/weewx/wiki/registry i'm still working on the capture process. the previous implementation used wkhtmltoimage, but that would periodically suck up every bit of memory and swap, bringing the capture server to its knees. using phantomjs has alleviated that somewhat, but there are still some problems. i'll try to remember to write up what i learn once its sorted out. there is no way to force an update of the capture. it is a somewhat stochastic process (intentionally, to avoid overloading the system). once the capture process is more reliable we will be able to tune it. who knows, some kind of waybackmachine-like abilities might even be possible! m -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
