Changing background image for Streams

Post by btwo85 »

Hello,
I'm trying to change the background image of my Stream (currently MJPEG), so I used the Page Designer to select an image I had saved in /stream/img.

Unfortunately, even though File explorer does see the new image in that folder, the Page designer doesn't see it at all.
See screenshot : https://ibb.co/rQSrTBP

I'm guessing it is a question of Properties of the folder (access/read/etc.).

Is this a known problem? Is there a solution to that problem?

For info, I am using Windows 7 Professionnal and Yawcam 0.7.0 (thanks for this great piece of software!)

Please make sure that you are browsing the correct folder when trying to select the image.
As default, the file browser will open the location:
C:\Users\%username%\.yawcam\stream\img

Is this the location where you saved your new images?

Hello malun and thanks for the answer!

Ah... I wasn't looking in the right folder, nor did I saved the new background image in the USER/.yawcam/stream/img folder!
I was looking in the Program Files folder! So thanks a lot, it makes sense now...

Maybe it would be a good idea to add the information about USER... in the Readme.txt file which is in the folder?

You saved my life, thank you! :D
