Video Block Not Working

[acatalano]

I changed my method of constructing time lapse videos using FFMPEG and wanted to update the 'videos' block on my homepage (www.boulderweather.org) I found that I could no longer edit the settings and received a '505' error. So refreshing my memory by reading the wiki on blocks, I updated from 17.0 to 17.1 (videos was unaffected) but nothing changed. I deleted the videos folder from my website, downloaded the videos block file, unzipped it anew and was able to setup the videos by typing in the url for the video: www.boulderwx.com/movie.mp4. I relocated the block to the lower right corner, but it still does not display; I just get the spinning icon. So I tried to check my settings....but once again I get the 505 error. I seem to be going in a circle too.

I also have a problem with the (non)display of maps in the gfs block but that aseems to be a common problem related to the source, and so appears unrelated to this problem. Any suggestions?

Sorry I just stumbled onto your post. Correct the time lapse is not updating correctly and looking for a solution to your problem. Will get back to you as soon as I find one.

Another look, I think I found your problem. Did you add the new link to your webcam block or just try to add a video link to your page?

The turning icon at the bottom right indicates a missing block or using the same block already in use. You can not use the same block twice. In the webcam block just add the new link to your time lapse url to the end of the first with a coma "," read the top line in webcam block and that should help.

example of what your first line in webcam block should look like:

Code: Select all

(http://)content.meteobridge.com/cam/d07f022a34ee2e086dcff36xxxxxxxxxx/camplus.jpg, (URL) to your added timelapse video.

Code: Select all

The example assumes that you are using meteobridge as your webcam upload method. Change to your method.
