QUESTION to IPTimelapse users!

Post by geoffw »

I'm a few days into the evaluation period for IPTimelapse, at the moment using it with a USB camera, but intending to fix up a couple of external Wireless Cameras next month.

I am a bit disappointed with the online help supplied - unless I am missing a link somewhere.r

One thing I can't shift is the date format - I am stuck with "mm dd yyyy" and cannot get it to change to "dd mm yyyy". I've looked at the setup page, and tried changing the formula in the Date/Time Section but that doesn't seem to work.

Advice whould be appreciated.

I have found the support to be really good. Email Mike at mike@sebectec.com and he answers within a day (remember he is in the USA so different time zone).

The date works OK on mine https://www.dmjsystems.co.uk/weatherbos/webcam.php. Only difference I can see is I have "Use C# text format" ticked and I use WeatherUnderground to add the weather line.

The check box for C# corresponds to the time/date format below it.

It works fine for me: HH:mm:ss tt - ddd MMM dd, yyyy

There is an online manual of sorts here https://iptimelapse.com/download/iptime ... =&sct=MA==

I say of sorts because it is by no means complete but may help.

Funny there should be a post about IPTimelapse.. I have noticed an issue when moving the GUI via clicking and holding the title bar.. there's a 2 second delay from mouse movements, making it lag. I opened the task manager, and CPU increases to 30% from just moving it. :cry:

A niggle, unless I missed something. I've just spent four days setting up IPTimelapse and making up my mind if it is right for me.

Decided last night buy the licence, but when I fed it in and IPTimelapse started all my setting had gone!!!

Bit after the event but under Settings there is a Backup option to a named file which would have overcome this as there also an Import function under the Backup.

I always do this after any changes just in case. I suspect the licence handling assumes you are going to set up a brand new configuration.
