no udp packets send
« on: August 11, 2009, 03:58:23 PM »
Hi,

I'm using icam source on osx 10.5.8 (same problem before upgrade to 10.5.8).
however, when I start icam source to publish my webcam video, not a single udp packet is send to the external server.
tcpdump just shows nothing at all. Thus neither my iphone icam app nor your web based icam app can connect to my source.

whats wrong with my installation? Is there any icam source debug mode which helps to analyze the problem in detail?

thanks in advance
PaofNeele

When you click the Start button do you see your webcam's video in the iCamSource's preview window?

Are you running The Little Snitch or any other application that might block the iCamSource sending UDP?

What error messages are you seeing on your iPhone running iCam?

Hi,

thanks for your fast reply.
Yes little snitch is installed.
But even if I stop it, no udp packets are sent.
Icam source shows the usb cam preview.
There is no error message at all.

is it possible to run the icam source process in some kind of debug (verbose) mode?
starting icam source from the commandline shows also no helping error messages.
Also starting the app as root did not help.

No, there is currently no way to run the iCamSource in a verbose or debug mode.

If you run the iCamSource and then attempt to connect to it with iCamWeb (http://skjm.com/icam/web/) from the same computer, what error message does iCamWeb give you, if any?
