Set up my webcam to send images to both the webcam Block and the plugin, now this works fine in Firefox but not Chrome or Opera, can see the images in the plugin in the other browsers but nothing for the main page block, anybody got any ideas, running out of hair

What URL did you set?

Because the block is trying to load

http://visitor:guestvisitor@82.11.31.19 ... ty=Clarity

very trange URL, the actual image however is

http://82.11.31.198/SnapShotJPEG?Resolu ... ty=Clarity

changed the path but still getting no image in Chrome or Opera browsers

Clear browser cache, I can see it now in Chrome

Hi Stewart, I'm using Chrome and have no problem seeing your webcam on your Home page and the Plugin page.

interesting. cleared cash but this is all i'm seeing

Hmm... can you try another computer? It looks like a local issue

tried another comp same problem

Stewart,

I tried in Chrome and in Firefox.. Strange behavior.. The custom URL which passes your guest credentials to your webcam is malformed..

First picture (Chrome - Not showing, no prompt.): Second Picture (Firefox - Prompted to enter creds to your webcam.): Modify the webcam block URL to this (What Jachym shown above): http://82.11.31.198/SnapShotJPEG?Resolu ... ty=Clarity

That URL isn't asking for any creds.

EDIT: It's working in Firefox now, but Chrome is not playing nice. Still shows a little dot. Chrome is not liking the URL.

Try this in the Webcam Block URL: http://82.11.31.198/CgiStart?page=Single&Language=0 (Leave out the resolution/etc.. It will resize it automatically.)

thanks for the reply, will try that tomorrow

tried that but still asking for user name and password

Currently it's working correctly in Firefox. IE (11), and Chrome is showing blank.

I am not seeing the prompt for the credentials on my end. I am at a loss... Sorry. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Hello, Stewart,

I can't help with a solution, but I have tried several browsers (Edge, IE, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Maxthon & Chrome).

All of them present a log-in box.

That was using the http://82.11.31.198/CgiStart?page=Single&Language=0 address.

Cheers,
John

John,

I am able to view the page above without seeing the credentials prompt.. Very strange. All of this is tied to your webcam.

Stewart,
Is there a URL that you can use that is *not* password protected?

no I haven't found a workaround that does not require a password, the only solution I've done is to use the time lapse block

Hi Stewart, since looking at your site the other day, the webcam image does show up on the home page in Opera, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Chrome and Edge, however the plugin page is not showing your webcam and four months of the year are missing from the calendar (September, October, November and December)

I think you'll need to enlist the help of Sherlock Holmes (AKA Jachym), so you'd best head to Baker Street.

Hmmm I have to admit Im a bit confused about the URLs, I think that causes the issue, the script is most likely unable to load the file from that location. Browsers work differently, so it is possible that browser loads it, but not the script.

You could try loading the image using some test PHP script, like this:

<?php

echo file_get_contents("YOUR_URL");

?>
