Help! I'm going crazy! I installed weewx with simulator and Belchertown skin. It's not the first time I install it, I installed several weather stations with weewx. Now I'm getting these errors, but I can't figure out where they come from, probably from weewx.conf or skin.conf. I checked the two files but I couldn't figure out why...

Can't be positive, but the odds are that it's in the skin configuration file skin.conf for the Belchertown skin. It's happening when setting up the search list, which is part of the preprocessing, rather than the processing of the templates themselves. If it was in a template, the error message should have mentioned it.

The file is encoded in UTF-8. As ConfigObj was processing it, it found a byte with value zero in byte 22, which is not what it was expecting.

How did it get there? The most common reason is that it was introduced by an editor that doesn't know how to handle UTF-8.

That leads to:

1. What editor are you using?

2. What's in byte 22 of skin.conf?

the editor i am using is Studio Visual Code, while how do i identify byte 22 in skin.conf file? is it the position or the line in editor?

It's the 22nd byte in the sequence of the file, which is not necessarily the 22nd character, because utf-8 encoded characters may be more than one byte. To be sure, you need a HEX-editor.

I guess, 22 bytes you can count by hand. If there is nothing special at that position, delete some characters around and write them anew.
