Hi

I am using Weather Display's webcamcapture and thats what it says the streaming URL is

Axelvold · « **Reply #26 on:** October 04, 2009, 03:14:32 PM »

Have you tried to stream with another software and see if you could see the stream?

Bashy · « **Reply #27 on:** October 04, 2009, 03:16:30 PM »

Thing is, its works for everyone else except me lol and its mine...

what os and browser do you use - maybe its blocked or needs a plugin

Bashy · « **Reply #29 on:** October 04, 2009, 03:20:51 PM »

I use FF and IE (both same) running Windows 7 and WMP 12 also running Kaspersky
But, i still cannot view it on the lappy or 2 other computers, those all run XP Pro with
WMP 9 i think it is

This is a beauty - think we need to scratch heads here
We can all see it working fine - just you cant.
If we see it the d-link is set right.

Axelvold · « **Reply #31 on:** October 04, 2009, 03:27:48 PM »

Have you tried to see the stream on the other 2 computers?

Yep, still the same

Here is my settings in Virtual Server on my D-Link router.

Bashy · « **Reply #34 on:** October 04, 2009, 03:54:18 PM »

i think that looks much the same as i have in mine

mmorris · « **Reply #35 on:** October 04, 2009, 03:55:30 PM »

Just a question did you type in your browser http://192.168.0.1 if your router pops up with a password just put in Admin and look at your setting I"m thinking your looking for something like Multicast streams but I could be all wet but something need to be changed in the router.

Bashy · « **Reply #36 on:** October 04, 2009, 03:56:55 PM »

hi mmorris

Enable Multicast Streams is ticked

mmorris · « **Reply #37 on:** October 04, 2009, 04:01:08 PM »

Well I don't know nothing about D link I downloaded your manual and gave it a look. I'd be on the phone to support if I was you..

Bashy · « **Reply #38 on:** October 04, 2009, 04:03:14 PM »

Thats another thing, I tired accessing there support, registered and logged in, then
went to the help and contact and the link failed pmsl.... seriously thinking of getting the latest Belkin now....

Try to change DNS to HTTP

Bashy · « **Reply #40 on:** October 04, 2009, 04:15:08 PM »

When you change that to something else in the drop list its just a list
of standard ports, i.e. if its ftp then it will change to port 21, if its http then
it will change the port to 80 and so on, i had to manually change the port to 82

Simon,

Try dropping the .invalid in your host file. Also make sure that your changes to the host file are saving and the file does NOT have an extension. You may have to log on as administrator to ensure the changes are saved.

FWIW, I have a D-Link DR-615 and experienced the same problem. My prior router was a Netgear and it did have loop back support so I didn't need to have an entry in the host file to see my stream on the LAN.

Poked back into this thread... saw that you were using mms://, I can tell you that I've never been able to see anyone's streaming if they use that format... just an idea... as others have suggested, maybe use a software solution that doesn't involve mms...

Weather Display · « **Reply #43 on:** October 04, 2009, 11:28:15 PM »

but people can see it
is just Bashy that cant, which is a router problem (see the post above, neondesert has come across the same problem with the same router)
because he could see it before he updated his router

Bashy · « **Reply #44 on:** October 05, 2009, 08:02:22 AM »

Hi folks

This has now been resolved with the help from Curly, he gave me a little script that
enables me to see it, dont ask, i dont know lol but its working again, thanks Curly and
thanks to everyone who tried, i appreciate the help....

neondesert · « **Reply #45 on:** October 05, 2009, 12:45:25 PM »

Glad to see it's fixed Simon! $\:D/$

Do you know what the script does? I know you said "don't ask" but I will anyway.

Bashy · « **Reply #46 on:** October 05, 2009, 12:55:45 PM »

How Curly explain it is, its grabs the IP and if the ip is the home IP then its changes the web address to the home address...

Axelvold · « **Reply #47 on:** October 05, 2009, 01:12:34 PM »

Could you post a copy of the script here?

Curly · « **Reply #48 on:** October 05, 2009, 04:32:00 PM »

I've been watching this thread for an answer because I have a similar issue with the web cams here.
Since it's not a fix for the topic, I hesitated on posting a work-around.

The script checks to see if the IP address is mine. If it is, the variable is the cameras address on the home network. If the address isn't my mine, then the variable is the web address for the camera.

Code: [Select]

<?php
$ipa = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if($ipa == '192.168.0.2') { $camIP = 'http://192.168.0.12:8080'; }  // home url
else{ $camIP = 'http://71.115.86.198:8080';} // visitors url
?>

I then replace the url for the camera video in the page with <?php echo $camIP ?>

Thanks Simon and thank you for posting the script Curly.
