Web Cam Capture v10.28 refreshes data entry screen every 1 sec

I am trying to add the rainfall as a custom tag to the overlay (as per Brian’s video), but the screen “redraws” every second. This means I have to make my change and hit the save button within one second before my change is erased. I managed to get the tag in and saved, and “enabled” saved after many attempts at super-fast mouse work, but fiddling with the position offsets cannot be achieved within 1 second!

What could be causing this ??

humm
maybe when you are doing that set the update rate slower?

update rate of what? I can’t see anything in webcamcapture set more frequently than a minute?

what type of web cam do you have again?
and how do you have that setup ?
the more detailed info you can provide, the better

The detail of this thread gives you the background on how I got it going http://discourse.weather-watch.com/t/65244 (I hope that link makes sense)

  • using the demo Datastead driver because all my camera had was an RTSP connect string (not a http connect string)

are you able to click on stop then to stop the updates or similar?

I can select: “Stop now”, stop the preview, and deselect “Keep Live” & “Restart regularly” to no avail

if you could .zip and email me your settings files I will see if I can duplicate the problem here

on their way through the ether to you…

use this update
vers 10.29

thanks Brian
