cant view cam when started as a service

Post by H3RB »

hey all, running windows 10. i can view the cam using the ip and port fine when the program is running. yet when i add it as a service (i have set up what i want to run etc) i cant view the cam. the link just constantly times out.
installed the service as admin along with starting the service as admin.
the light on the webcam shows its in use but im just unable to connect.
any help is great thanks

Check that your firewall isn't blocking it.

When Yawcam runs under your user account, it uses javaw.exe, but when it runs as a service, it uses Yawcam_service.exe.
