Picture not updating on File Output

Post by dlwmac »

I am running version 0.3.6.
I have set the file output to every 5 seconds but when I check the pictures, it is the same picture every time with only the time and date updated.
I am not using Motion Detection because I want to take a picture every 5 seconds not just when there is motion.
The file output parameters I am using are...

D:\Yawcam\cap{num}.jpg

Why can't I get a fresh picture every 5 seconds?
Thanks.

This may be a bug with the version 0.3.6, try opening a browser before launching Yawcam then let the browser open and see if you get the same problem.

Thanks. No it was happening with 0.3.3 as well.
What do you mean by "opening a browser first"?

Hello,

i have exact the same problem. I use version 0.3.6, doesnt tried the "browser-solution" yet.

How can we fix that without opening a browser first?

I was thinking maybe you were encountering the same problem as this post.

No it's not.
I am storing my pics locally.
Please tell me what opening a browser has to do with this problem.
