Changing Default Quality of Stream to 75%

mickopla · Post by **mickopla** » Sun Jun 26, 2011 11:10 am

I'm using Yawcam to stream my webcam of my Weather Website. Is there a way to change the default quality of the stream from 30% to 75% when you open the page?? Would much prefer the better quality without having to adjust each time i go to the page.

Edit: Found how to change the quality to 75% using the var quality in the template but by doing this its not changing the quality. Still stuck on 30%. I am using the Iframe code on my website. Would this be the reason why its not changing??

I guess you could put an instruction in the body tag, something like:

Code: Select all

 OnLoad="javascript:setQ(75);cTO();"

This is the code that gets executed when you click the button, so setting it as such makes it the default, sort of.

Would that be in the Body tag of the Iframe??

Try changing your body tag on the yawcam iframe to:

Code: Select all

<body onLoad="javascript:setQ(75);cTO();" style="background-color: #ffffff; background-image: none;">

This is the code is used with no joy. Is this the way it should be? Cheers

<iframe src="http://xx.7.xxx.8:8081/index.html" width="800" height="680" style="padding: 0px; border:0px;" scrolling="no"><body onLoad="javascript:setQ(75);cTO();" style="background-color: #ffffff; background-image: none;"></iframe>

No, sorry, what you should do is edit the template you are using for yawcam, the page you have referenced as http://xx.7.xxx.8:8081/index.html is the one you want to modify and add to the body tag.

Open the file and find this line:
<body style="background-color: #ffffff; background-image: none;">

Then change it to this:
<body onLoad="javascript:setQ(75);cTO();" style="background-color: #ffffff; background-image: none;">

Edited the Template_js file to add the line you suggested but it didn't work i'm afraid. I appreciate your help by the way. Is there anything else i can try???

you didn't apply the change to the right file, when I check the tag on your website it's still the old one, can you give me the path to the file you edited? is it the one in the program files\yawcam\stream or in the users\<username>\.yawcam\stream?

Its was the file in the program files\yawcam\stream folder that i edited.

try the one in your users\<username>\.yawcam\stream then restart yawcam.
