Got no idea why unless it needed something in the latest Node.js but I spent an hour looking at the Javascript trying to work out why it wasn't seeing models online when v0.2.4 did ... and nothing had really changed in that section of the script.

BTW, for ease of use I start both scripts using PowerShell via a shortcut:

# CB-Node.ps1
$console = $host.UI.RawUI
$console.BackgroundColor = 'Black'
$console.WindowTitle = 'Capturebate-Node'
$size = $console.WindowSize
$size.Width = 80
$size.Height = 20
$console.WindowSize = $size
Clear-Host

Function Rerun {
  $temp = "Script restarted at: " + (Get-Date -UFormat "%Y%m%d, %H:%M:%S")
  $temp | Out-File -FilePath ".\debug.txt" -Append
  Start-Process -FilePath node.exe -ArgumentList "main.js" -WorkingDirectory X:\Capturebate-Node -Wait -NoNewWindow -PassThru
}

Start-Process -FilePath node.exe -ArgumentList "convert.js" -WorkingDirectory X:\Capturebate-Node -NoNewWindow -PassThru

While ($true) {
 Rerun
}

I found that the Capturebate-Node script sometimes closed for no reason, (I suspect a problem fetching the web page), so I created the PowerShell script to start main.js, wait until it closed, then restart it, writing an entry to a log file.

It also starts the convert.js script, so all output is to the one window:

Shortcut properties:

%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -executionpolicy bypass -File "CB-Node.ps1"

I use the same kind of PoSh script for MFC-Node, (which drops out even more).
