2 Cameras, one iMac, one iCamsource=only sees one camera at a time.

That error indicates that there's already a port forwarding rule for that port in the router. Have you manually configured port forwarding in your router? If not, your router might be in a bad state. Try rebooting your router. To reboot the router, unplug the power cable for about 10 seconds, then plug it back in. Once the router has rebooted, try relaunching iCamSource.

Thanks for infos

And what about my last test on windows XP?
The issue isn't specific to mac machine...

i ve just test the same webcams with windows XP sp3 on MSI wind notebook with exactly the same issue...
icamsource 2.2.2

i ll try these cameras on powermac g5 mac osx 10.5 this morning.

i ve just try my 2 usb webcams on mac pro g5 mac osx 10.5.8 and it didn't work, with the same issue.
BUT it WORKS when i plug the 2nd webcam on an additional pci to usb card...

It seems tp be a limitation of the usb bus.

I continue to test with 3 and 4 webcams with and without usb hub.

I ve try 4 USB Microsoft® LifeCam HD-5000 webcams each on an additional PCI to USB card and it s works fine.
I m just limited because of my poor uploading bandwidth (64ko/s).

So the solution was to buy 3 cheap  PCI to USB cards on Ebay about 5€ each one.

May this help someones.

'wanted to stop by and offer update...

i grabbed another stupid cheap usb webcam - connecting both on one USB hub won't play nice together. however, on separate hubs they will work together.  hassle to test these hub/port combinations but we're now up to 3 cams including the firewire isight.  I'll keep playing around with adding more cams/hubs...

iMac system profiler says built-in isight is internal USB and it interferes with any USB cam.  but at least on separate hubs I can get more than one USB cam working at a time. 

not using the built-in isight for icam source is fine for my situation because I'd rather leave it available for skype and/or other video purposes.

I'm having a similar problem.  I have iCamsource downloaded on two laptop computers, one running windows vista and one windows 7, both using their built-in webcams.

When I open iCam on my iphone at home (on the same wifi as computers), both cameras show up on the screen and i can go from one to the other easily.  But when i leave the area and go into 3G, I can only see one camera on my iphone.  I have to keep hitting the refresh button to make the other one come up.

Don't know why I can't have both show up when I am not at home.  Any ideas?

Are both laptop computers running on the same network?

[rahvin]

yes.  different operating systems, but the same network

When you are only able to see one camera is it the same one or does it vary?

Please go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ from the both computers running the iCamSource and send the external IP addresses to support@skjm.com. Then we can attempt to look them up in the Broker Server logs and hopefully troubleshoot the problem.
