Yawcm: Can't get the offlne image to work

Post by geoffw »

Can someone point out what I'm missing trying to get the offline image to show. I have activated Schedule for both 'File' anf 'FTP', as well as checking the boxes for both in the 'Offline Image' setup. Schedule is working but I'm not getting an offline image?????

I haven't used it for quite a while but from memory that's all I did. I assume your ftp schedule is similar to your file schedule? If so just as an experiment make them different by an hour and see if that works.

What happens, does it just leave the last image up? Are there any messages on the console at the time other than file and ftp offline?

I'll look more closely tonight, but my impression was that it was continuing to update the FTP image though the file downloads are stopping at 21.59 and restarting at 04.01.

I have mine set the same except that I don't have the offline image saved to file - just FTP and Yawcam's exit.

Sorry, no banner - weather station out of action. Hoping to be up and running with a new home-made one soon.

They were both identical ..... 05.00 to 22.00 .... that is 'File' and 'FTP' I have not activated the other three features yet. I've actually changed both to start at 04.00 today. As i said the scheduling seems to be working but no shutdown image.

Yes, I have my schedules set to 04:00 to 22:00. Yours should work - all I can suggest is to try turning off the File save offline image. Then it'll be the same as mine, which is working fine.

Ok, I thought you were saying it continued to FTP though the night, I must have misunderstood you.

I think it was Hillbilly who said she had a different issue with Yawcam, but it improved when she stopped scheduling FTP and File at the same time. Perhaps Yawcam gets its knickers in a knot when it tries to do two things at once. ;) Like Gina I never set the offline image for files, infact I didn't use files at all.

Unfortuantely the Yawcam forum has been offline for so long I fear he might have stopped supporting it. We may be on our own now.

If you don't use File Save, do you store your images for your movie sequences online. In fact how do you create the to movies on your website . Last three hour of weather and 24 hour of weather?

At the moment I'm saving images in a folder per day wo work on the movie making feature.

Yes I only store them online using the image array part of the FTP function in Yawcam. Then I use PHP to generate a swf/xml slideshow xml script each time the 3 hour or 24 hour replay option is selected, which only includes the images I have online. Let me know if you want any of these scripts, there's not much to them, although they do require xwf/xml slideshow which costs $50 for a licensed version. The free version will only play the last 10 images.

I also use the motion detection facility to capture any lightning strikes after dark, which are also only stored online.

I was looking for this, but in the wrong places :lol: I have started a new thread on this topic - I thought it sufficiently different from single image FTP to warrant it's own. I would like to see your scripts, please :)

Yes it now seems OK. Odd because I only re-entered my original settings. I suspect it may mean the settings do not come into effect immediately - i.e if you change the Schedule settings and/or the holding image, Yawcam dos not react to those changes until the following day.

Anyway - now to change the holding image - great fun!!
