Occasional freeze/stop uploading.
Posted: Wed Nov 12, 2008 9:20 pm
Hi. First off, I love Yawcam. Except for one camera on my website, http://mysite.verizon.net/vze1kif0 or http://www.gitemstevedave.com, all my cams are uploaded with Yawcam. I even mention Yawcam by name in the info/descriptions of my cams, I'm so happy with it. I do have one problem though. Occasionally, the images will stop uploading to my host server. If they do, and I check the program, one of three things will be there. 1.) No report under the Console of any errors, but a quick disable/enable of FTP will restore the upload. 2.) A report under the console in red, and I again do the disable/enable of FTP, and it again uploads. and 3.) There is either no image shown in the preview image, or it is half an image with a bar of static/noise underneath it. When 3 happens, I restart Yawcam, and all seems to be well. I don't have any details on reported errors, but I promise I will write back with any messages I get, and also a screencap if that helps. On each of the cams on my site, if you click the information link under the image, it gives a brief rundown of the cam and the OS it's on. I have all the cams set up to "silent retry" and store the password. All my computers run through a FiOS router to the internet. I have heard reports that my particular router, the Actiontec Mi424WR, has a small "NAT table", and will sometimes overflow causing the router to timeout for ~3 minutes. If this was a cause, would a error show up?
Any information anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated. I try to stay "hands off" on my webcams, b/c the less I have to do with them, the less I think about them, and just go about my day. I have had to set up a VNC to my two computers so I can restart the cams from work if they do a freeze while I'm at work. Again, thank you for the great program!
