Questions to ask the center about the new system

Tiger  Thanks for letting me know that the threads won't actually disappear after the upgrade!   I have had so few PMs  I haven't experienced what happens yet, but it is good to be advised to save them anyway.  I guess this business of not being able to leave messages unless the person is a friend, just means you have to make them a friend first - and presumably that will continue to be just a click of a button to request 'friendship'?

Tiger- Thank you for your input re: the new system...I personaly have really struggled to find my way around this site, plus most of the time unable to get on, so i'm praying that it is a massive plus for me. Its great to read everyones messages during my working day, although irritating that I can't give any input to you all..  Although like others, I do hope folk like yourself can guide others like myself through...Just want to say thank you to you all for your enjoyable messages. Tina

Just to note that if anyone has problems accessing the camera on the RSPB webpage during the maintenance period, you can view it in any media player software by opening the following URL:

mms://wms.carnyxlive.co.uk/abernethy

I'll post further instructions for as many players as I can if anyone needs them.

The LG webcam, along with several others including the Goshawk from the New Forest can also be viewed on the Carnyx website:

Note that some video feeds, including the Loch Garten one, require Microsoft Silverlight to be installed. You can get it if you don't have it already:

For anyone running Linux, there is an open source version I believe, although I've not tried it.

 

I prefer to use standalone players to the web browser for viewing the webcams as I can then resize and arrange them on the desktop better. Such software usually provides a simple screenshot function, and often a video recording facility too. I use VLC player for recording clips from the LG cam.

There is an option to open standalone players, using both Silverlight and Windows Media Player, in some feeds from Carnyx, including the Goshawk.

 

Thanks!!  

I got in  on the Carnyx site to see the nest 

I am unable to  get the  nest Cam . All I get is a black screen and the   buffering wheel goes around and around but never loads
