Can't get the Webcam Image to stay on the Main WD Screen
« on: November 12, 2008, 10:05:47 PM »
After installing my new VP2  :D I did a full update of WD this evening. I went from 10.35L build 14 to 10.35M build 14.
Since the update I've only briefly been able to get the webcam image to show in place of the conditions icon on the main screen.
I can see it on there for a second or so when the screen updates & then it goes back to the current conditions icon again.

All the correct boxes are ticked in the setup and the webcamcapture is working fine.

GeoffP is also having the same problem with his WD so any suggestions are most welcome.  :wink:

Do you use a Metar for weather conditions?  I remember there being hiccups over settings in Summary.gif setup that affected the condition icon/webcam image.  Try different combinations there. Sorry, I am away from my own PC.

Thanks for the idea Graeme, both of us use METAR at night but a solar sensor during the day and neither is using the Summary.gif, mines turned off in the advanced internet options.
My webcam image seems to have come back overnight is stable at the moment, I'll keep an eye on it.  :wink:
