iCam Support / IP6 can be is a cause for this error!

FYI to others:

I've been using icam on my Android for several years and never had any problems.  I run icamsource on 3 separate computers and could always check all feeds easily.

After a recent ROM upgrade on my Samsung S4, I could no longer access the video feed while on 3g/4g.  When connected to wifi, I could!

I thought it was going to be a long arduous troubleshooting deal.  Which it almost was.  But while looking at some other functions on my phone, I found that my VPN program also balked.

A specific google search revealed that my carrier, T-Mobile, has been moving its wireless data settings over to IP6, which causes this specific problem!

I duplicated the default APN settings to a user configurable one and just altered the APN protocol to IP4 from IP6.  All fixed!

iCam Support / Re: iCamsource on XP works at first, but camera eventually freezes!

It is plugged directly into the computer on the front panel (no additional hub).  Don't have any additional USB slots, but I'll try moving them around just to check.

iCam Support / iCamsource on XP works at first, but camera eventually freezes!

« on: April 25, 2010, 12:59:19 PM »

I am running icamsource on my Windows XP system.  I am using a quite old, but serviceable, Aiptek VGA Trio camera through USB (http://www.aiptek.com/drivers/pc0vplus/).

I have run v1.4.25 beta, 1.4.2, as well as 1.4.1, but I'm running into the same problem.

Essentially, icamsource runs fine to begin with.  No connection problems, the image looks great on the iphone.

But eventually (hard to say how long, hours sometimes?) the camera apparently freezes and no longer sends an updated image.  iCam on the iphone shows essentially a static photo, though the clock in the upper left keeps ticking.

When I pull up icamsource, there is no image in the preview window.  Usually it's just the background desktop showing through in fact, a big square cut-out in the icamsource control screen.

I can stop the camera.  When I try to restart, I get the error 14.  When I quit out of icamsource, I get the following error:

.NET-BroadcastEventWindow.2.0.0.0.378734a.0: iCamSource.exe - Application Error
The instruction at "0x039e82c0" referenced memory at "0x03a82fe4."  The memory could not be "read".

If I unplug the camera from USB and plug it back in again, it works once again no problems!  For a while.

Is this a camera driver problem?  I doubt there will be any updates as this camera was literally bought ~10 years ago.
