iCant get it to work :(

[iCant]

I have an EyeToy (SLEH-00031) I couldn't get it to work with macam on my mac (running SL 10.6.7 if my memory is good it was working on previous versions)
So i'm running a windows XP via parallels on my mac were the EyeToy works fine!

But I can't connect from my iPhone 
Tried setting up my router with uPNP enabled and port forward 12000 to 121000 to different ip's.
uPNP Succes 12000-12100 --> Source Connection Error

My EyeToy works (in paralells), iCam 'works' but the program is now useless to me

It sounds like you have manual port forwarding enabled AND you are trying to use uPNP? If that's true, you can only use one of those options. Disable manual port forward and leave auto-config router checked. Restart icamsource and see if that does the trick. If not, make sure your firewall isn't getting in the way. I wouldn't think that would be the issue though, since it's saying uPNP success. I'm sure the SKJM guys will write back if there's some more specific advice relating to running XP in parallel or whatever (I'm not a Mac guy).

Thnx for you reply!

I removed the firewall forwarding rule and enabled uPNP.
iCamSource (2.2.2) states: uPNP Succes 12000 ->12000 with ' auto-config router' enabled.

iCam (2.01) on my iPhone says after loading for a while ' Source Connection Error' that is on 3G and with Wifi (same network)

I'm lost what to do now  

[SKJM Support]

The UPnP Success message indicates that the port has been opened successfully in the router.

If you're seeing the Source Connection Error when your phone and computer are connected to the same network, that indicates the problem is caused by firewall software on the computer, since the network traffic isn't going through the router in that case. Please quit or disable all firewall software on the computer running iCamSource (temporarily) to see if iCam starts working. If it does, we can configure the firewall to work with iCam.

There is progress..

I connected my EyeToy with following settings:
SIF (320x240) Rate 5 fps [X] Reduce bandwith

ZyXEL P-2602HW-D1A
[X] Active the Universal Plug and Play(UPnP) Feature
[ ] Allow users to make configuration changes through UPnP

When I disable "Auto-Config Router" in iCamSource
I've got video stream on my iPhone!! 
But it kept closing after 15-25sec only when I disabled the audio its running fine on wifi.

But now I have no sound and with 3G internet connection on iPhone it only shows black 

[OUAnthony]

Did you try temporarily disabling your firewall software? It might be the Windows Firewall or it could be some other 3rd party software that you would have installed. SKJM Support indicated that there must be a firewall software that is blocking communication between your phone/computer. If you haven't tried that yet, try disabling it, enabling uPNP in the router, and enabling auto-router config in icamsource (all at the same time...not one at a time).

[iCant]

My firewall in my mac is disabled and also my firewall in my router is disabled.
When I am not selecting auto-router config and disable the audio, it works on my iPhone connected on the same wifi network.
But if I select auto-router config it only shows black screen.

So there's nothing blocking in that part.
Audio is a 'no go' but why? To much data?

And my biggest issue I can't connect from outside my wifi this needs port forwarding or some setup I assume?!

Hoping for some support cause setting this up is quitte a hassle for me!

[OUAnthony]

I thought you said you were running icamsource in Windows XP running in parallel or something? If so, Windows would have a firewall that might be causing the issues. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas. But I'm sure the SKJM guys can get you up and running.

[iCant]

Yeah I did, I forgot to mention in enthusiasm that I managed to get it working in OSX 10.6.7
(with settings mentioned above)

For the record:
Snow Leopard 10.6.7
Router: ZyXEL P-2602HW-D1A
iCamSource 2.2.2.1 with (PortRangeSet -bool true)
macam 0.92 CVS
iPhone 4 (4.3.1) with iCam 2.0.1

Router settings:
Default router settings with uPNP and WPA2 enabled
Active the Universal Plug and Play(UPnP) Feature (checked)
Allow users to make configuration changes through UPnP (not checked)

iCamSource settings:
Audio - No Audio
Video - 1 - macam #0: Sony Eye Toy (2)
Auto-Config Router (not checked)
Port Forward Range (not checked)
Motion Detection - Off

macam settings:
Format - SIF (320x240)
Rate - 5 fps
Reduce bandwith (checked)
Led (checked)


What's working:
With above settings I managed to get the stream to iPhone on the same wifi network

What ain't working is:
Audio:
When I enable audio it quits stream after few seconds or I get black screen with strange red dot in there.

Over mobile network:
I get black screen on iPhone with strange red dot

When checked the Auto-Config Router I got the same black with red dot even on wifi.

That looks like video from a webcam. Please send me a screenshot from the iPhone and iCamSource simultaneously so we can see what iCamSource is sending and compare it to what iCam is displaying.

Also, what Audio entries are available in the Audio drop down list?

[iCant]

Appears I have a ghost cam 
Stream works on wifi without auto-config enabled.
Stream quits after 15-20sec after enabling EyeToy Audio
Stream doesn't work over 3G network only wifi

So what to do next to get it working over 3G?
Do I need to port forward to get it working from outside my wifi?

I know how I can change some thing in my router but my knowledge about networks is little.
Even with this link i'm still not sure how to set it up.

The "ghost cam" could be another users camera. I see from your screenshot that your login/password is very short. Users can set the login and password in iCamSource to be anything they want. Make sure yours is something other people won't be able to guess easily.

Have you tried the Auto-Config option since switching the Mac OSX platform?

[iCant]

I Still can't get it to work 
The ' ghost' cam was indeed from another user.. I saw somethings I wish I had never seen! 

What do I need to change in order to get it to work over 3G?! 

Now the $5 app is useless to my and I hate making bad investments!

If you're still seeing the UPnP Success message, please check to see if the port is open.
To do that, run and start iCamSource, until the UPnP Success message shows up.
Then hit the Stop button in iCamSource and immediately go to http://portchecker.net/udp.php in your web browser.
That page will have an entry for the port number. Enter the exact same port number that showed up in the UPnP Success message. If the port is blocked, try disabling their firewall temporarily to see if iCam starts working.
