Is it possible to update ChromiumPortable included with Smartmeter?

Is it possible to update ChromiumPortable included with SmartMeter?

I have SmartMeter 1.0.4W_Light and Downloaded ChromiumPortable version 45.0.2431.0

When I tried to install ChromiumPortable version in %SmartMeter_dir%\programs\ChromiumPortable\ the ChromiumPortable does not open when I start recording.

I speak about http://www.smartmeter.io/

Solution

  • The problem is that the new version of Chromium has changed the path to its executable.

    Original path

    ChromiumPortable\App\Chromium\x86\Chrome.exe

    Path in 45.0.2431.0

    ChromiumPortable\App\Chromium\64\chrome.exe

    In case you need a new version of Chromium, the recommended process is to install it outside of the SmartMeter folder and start it manually. You only need to add the Recorder plugin then. This is how you do it.

    1. Start Chromium
    2. Go to Settings / Extensions (or type chrome://extensions/ in the address bar)
    3. Drag & drop the Recorder plugin from programs\ChromeExtras onto Chromium

    Run Recorder and use this instance of Chromium for recording.
