I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.

Hmm. I know how to do a ping test, but when I try to ping the RSPB, it fails. Says that it "can't find the host". I'm having no problems at all with this site recently, unlike most folks, so I will just count my blessings. :-)
Pinging I/P addresses. Now that takes me back.
HELP!!
I have never been able to get the Web cam stream "from the LG site" since the change over. It told me to get the plug in Silver Light and that was my undoing. I have always had Flip 4 Mac
I used the LG site feed for 2 years without a problem until the change over to the new forum . Now it just buffers non-stop and never loads
I am using Carnyx
How do I get the alternate cam with the long view on Carnyx!!
Or does it automatically alternate between cameras ?

I wonder if you could use VLC to receive the stream independently of any browser? What operating system do you have? This is the download page for Mac, which I assume you are using cos you mention Flip 4 Mac:
www.videolan.org/.../download-macosx.html
Once you have installed and opened it, click on the Media menu, then in the drop-down Open Network Stream - a box will appear, enter into the URL bar:
mms://wms.carnyxlive.co.uk/abernethy/.avi
and click Play at the bottom.
In a short while VLC should connect to the stream and display the same pic as you get on Carnyx, sometimes a few seconds behind. You will need to do that each time you start up VLC afresh but it will remember the address and offer it to you as soon as you type the first "m" into the URL bar.
Thanks to CIRRUS for guiding me :-*

scylia before I start "futzing" with other places I am going to wait. Last year the camera with the zoom that is in the tree was not working. The year before "I think" it just alternated between the nest camera to the zoom camera and it all came through the LG site. So if that is how it will work this year I should be able to see it through Carnyx.
Apparently they have identified a hardware incompatability in the RSPB system. Will this be the key to a solution? See here
It sounds from Graham's post that the fix has only just been put in place yet I started to feel a huge improvement 4 days ago.

Hi Daisy Ray how far have you got with the capture process? Are you able to take captures and save them to your computer?

hi all
do any of the cams work on ipad?
I do not think so as the iPad does not support Flash Player or at least that was the situation last time I enquired back in January 2011.
Testing the time on this board. It is now 8.06pm
