Web cam problems with MBpro red **solved**

Post by peterb »

Hi all,
I wonder if you can help. My web cam stopped sending images to WU on the 7th May 2016 after a reboot The camera details are correct and green ticked on the weather nets tab for the added WU camera. I've tried a number of times to reset it but not had enough time till now to check out what was going on. Basically MBPro appears to be adding a space at the front of the IP address when it finds the camera. Without the space the camera gets a red cross, with the space it gets a green tick. but the camera is not really found as the massage says at the top of the page as it is at the address without the space. I've added some screen captures so this makes sense including one from the camera so it is working!

It is widely known that WU CAM service does stall here and there server side.
There is not much you can don on this. Please also read here: http://www.wxforum.net/index.php?topic=29862.0

Green ticks at WU CAM just indicate that the FTP upload to the WU server (authentication etc) is working fine.

Hi Admin,
so would it be worth scrapping this one and buying a replacement MBP? Or one of the other devices to put the camere up on WU? What are othes using to send the camera images?

Can you please give me remote access to your Meteobridge. Please send URL and password to
"info(at)meteobridge.com". Which SW version is your cam?
