iCam 1.3.1 is Now Available in the App Store!

[Douggy]

OK, thanks.
So how can I name my cams ?

Actually, in the description in iCamSource/preferences/description, I have set a name, different at each Sources/copy of iCamSources, That 's ok in theses windows.

In iCam on my iPhone, fullscreen, the name is always : Live Cam : Unknown
Is there something I mistake ?

Are you running the latest version of the iCamSource (1.4.2) as well? If not, you can download it from http://skjm.com/icam/support.php

[Douggy]

Arf.
It was 1.4

Works fine with 1.4.2, thanks

The link for icamsource 1.4.1 appears to install 1.4.2.  I'm still trying to troubleshoot my crashing problems.

hi,

with the new icam source 1.4.2 - no port range checkbox so in terminal : defaults write com.skjm.icamsource PortRangeSet -bool true


ok but now in my router i have to portforwarding to connect to icam


with version 1.4 no need to do portforwarding

so why?

[Stefan]

The "zero-config" connection logic was updated with the latest version of iCam (1.3.1) and the iCamSource (1.4.2) to help things "just work" for a greater percentage of our users. If you use iCam 1.3.1 to connect to the previous version of the iCamSource (1.4 for Mac or 1.4.1 for Windows) then it reverts back to using the old connection logic.

We did have a series of beta testers try out the new connection logic to make sure it worked on as many network configurations as possible, but as with any testing, you cannot test it on every possible network configuration.

There does seem to be a small percentage of users that the new connection logic causes things to break when connecting via 3G.

What is the make and model of your router? We are trying to gather as much information as possible to help further improve our "zero-config" connectivity, but in the meantime reverting back to the previous iCamSource version (now linked to at http://skjm.com/icam/support.php) or forwarding ports in your router will get things working again over 3G.

my router is a time capsule and i am not on 3G but on wifi  - my tests were on local network.

so really wonder why i need to porforwarding now...

for me 1.4 was zero config - not the 1.4.2

[Stefan]

Were you unable to connect when your iPhone was connected to the same Time Capsule that the computer running the iCamSource was? Or was it a different WiFi network?

If you could go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ from the computer running the iCamSource and e-mail support@skjm.com what it says your external IP address is then we can attempt to look it up in the Broker Server logs and hopefully troubleshoot the problem.

Please reference this forum post in your e-mail.

Thanks.

It appears that my icamsource crashing problems are being caused by the new version of icam.  I rolled back to icam 1.3 and the new icamsource hasn't crashed since on any of my computers.

digitalfx - Was iCam 1.3.1 crashing both 1.4.1 and 1.4.2 iCamSources? Or just 1.4.2? Does iCam 1.3 connect fine to 1.4.1 and 1.4.2?

[lavieaquatique]

ok send mail this morning to support with ip. waiting for an answer

[Stefan]

lavieaquatique - It's early morning where we are right now ... I'll be replying to you shortly!

I'm not sure, the link you posted for icamsource 1.4.1 in this thread installs 1.4.2 (or so it says), even after a clean removal of the original program.

[Stefan]

I believe that the previous version install is: http://skjm.com/icam/iCamSetup1.4.1.exe

If you uninstall 1.4.2 and install 1.4.1 from the above-linked installer are you saying that 1.4.2 is still what is launched? That file has a timestamp of December 9, 2009 on the server, so it should be the previous (1.4.1) version.

[digitalfx]

Yup, I just cleared my cache and downloaded it again.  Uninstalled all previous versions and the window when opened still says "iCamSource Preferences 1.4.2".  According to Windows Programs and Features it's version 1.4.4.
