iCam Support / Re: iCamSource stop streaming
« on: October 16, 2010, 02:50:52 AM »
I had iCamsource 2.0.? running at my summer place for a month or so. It was working fine (excluding some minor starting problems with logitech's webcam; it seems that only way to get it running was to remove webcam from system, start icamsource and install webcam after that). For some reason stream to my iphone and icamweb was interrupted yesterday or day before that. When I travelled to my summer cottage and turned on the display, I saw that system had noticed an update to icamsource (2.1.3) and was asking whether I want to update. Maybe that was the reason for broken feed I don't know. I updated to 2.1.3. and now I have to untick auto-config router in order to get connected. Again, the logitech's webcam doesn't seem to be working as it should. I have to remove and reconnect the camera from system when icamsource is not running. That is the only way of letting icamsource know that there is webcam attached. If I stop icamsource, I have to do the power cycle to the cam again. So icamsource is not supporting logitech's webcam as it should. But the major problem is not in starting the feed but keeping the connection to the server up. After a few minutes, camera will be shut down and naturally no feed will be transmitted to the server. Locally icamsource shows frozen picture and apparently connection to server is up. If I now just unplug the cam and reinsert it, camera comes up and feed is ok. But I won't be here doing that every time this happens. This is MAJOR bug. I will stay here at my summer place this weekend and hopefully you can help me get this working again, since this place is 100 miles from my home and I won't be coming back any day soon.
