Yawcam -> Console
The console can be accessed in two ways. Either by the console tab in the main window, or by the console window from the text menu in the main window. ("Window -> Console")
Yawcam prints status and info messages in the console during runtime. All output in the console starts with a time stamp and the newest entry is printed at the bottom.
Some explanations (of the more cryptic console output)
| Message | Explanation |
|---|---|
| GET: /index.html | All entries starting with GET shows that someone is accessing a file on the built-in web server. Which file is shown by the name behind the colon. |
| + 192.168.0.2 | The + indicates that you have a new viewer on the stream output. And the ip address behind shows that viewer's ip. |
| - 192.168.0.2 | The same as above, but the - indicates that this user has stopped watching you. Also the time the user stayed connected and the amount of data transferred is printed. |
