Re: IP cam recommendations?

I've been using Yawcam with a UCam247 IP Camera for many years with no problem and recently decided to buy another IP Camera. Needless to say, the UCam 247 is no longer available and like Ytrass I tried a ieGeek IP Camera but I can't connect it to Yawcam. I tried all the url streams I could find inc...

Re: Problem -Can't write file check if directory exists.....

Thank you SO much for sorting the silent retry on error for file output. I've got 4 instances of Yawcam running on 2 PCs and I was having to restart file output several times a day before v 0.6.0. A fantastic program!

Re: Problem -Can't write file check if directory exists.....

Hi Magnus Upgraded to v 0.5.0 hoping that it might have fixed the lack of a "silent retry on error" for saving to a file but still experiencing the problem - have you had any more thoughts about whether you could fix this? My Weather Display home page picks up an image from a file saved by...

Re: Logging viewers

I'm logging stream viewers and it works OK but my log file is full of logs of connections to my router (192.168.1.1) - once every minute for around 25 seconds, e.g. [16/11 08:58] + 192.168.1.1 [16/11 08:58] - 192.168.1.1 (Time: 00:00:25, 76 kB) [16/11 08:59] + 192.168.1.1 [16/11 08:59] - 192.168.1.1...

Re: Editing Yawcam Webpage

Long time since my last post! I've recently set up a live stream from my Bird Box and am trying to change "It's a webcam!" to some other text - I tried last year but must have given up! z3r0c00l12 suggested that it's in the HTML file in Yawcam itself but the only HTML files I can find with...

Re: can´t connect ip camera Wansview NCM-625W

No, Yawcam will not work with H264 compression but it will with M-JPEG and it looks like your camera does have the option of M-JPEG streaming (see http://www.wansview.com/all-cameras/708-ncm-625w and look on the Specifications tab). There should be an option to change the stream output type

Re: Problem -Can't write file check if directory exists.....

Hi Magnus I still get this problem with saving images to a file - has it got any further up your to do list? I live with it by running a small routine (in Homeseer) say every hour which compares the current time with the timestamp on the saved image file from Yawcam and if it's longer than say 61 mi...

Re: D-Eye Windows Sidebar Gadget

Bit late response but better late than never!
I've still got 3 versions of the D-Eye gadget on my PC but I admit I haven't used any of them for a while here they are & hope they work:

Re: Problem -Can't write file check if directory exists.....

I've had this problem off & on for years & yes, it does seem to happen at random intervals - re what software I'm using could be locking the file, I can only think of my weather station software, "Weather Display" which shows a thumbnail image from the camera on the main page. I di...

Re: IP Camera

I use the app but I can't make it stream - when I set up the camera the only port option is "HTTP Port" and I entered the stream port I'm using - it does show an image from Yawcam but the timestamp doesn't constantly change as it does with a PC connection to my stream port. It also seems t...

Re: Which favicon.ico?

I also have multiple instances of Yawcam running & was also looking for a solution whereby I could tell which icon was which in the system tray and tried your suggestion but it didn't work but then it did work when I modified the tray.png file rather than the yawcam.ico file
