Technical Test Thread

Tiger/ChloeB, thanks for your comments. Happy for it to be published, as you see fit. The data is going to change almost daily, so that is a point to bear in mind. When I uploaded the file I saw a message/comment about editing an existing file.....so I need to check that out. It could mean that I would be able to edit the RSPB copy, which at the moment was not what I was intending to do. I was going to upload each new version separately. I cannot see how the editing would work unless the RSPB version was downloaded, edited, then uploaded again and amended/restored on their servers, keeping the same file reference?

Nevertheless I am happy that it is working. Having it on the webspace, would make it readily available and clearly visible, to those not au fait with spreadsheeets.

It is only a few minutes work jsb

Here is your spreadsheet on a webpage unlinked, can link very easily later. Updates can be uploaded and replaced as required....or could even be linked together, on same page or separate. What do you think?

Need to nip out for a short time so will catch any comments later.

ChloeB: On each update I shall put the change(s) in bold type. That should make it easy for folks to see what has changed. Re linking or not linked, I suggest you make it consistent with your website other content. I have a feeling that there may be some less well known nests (not the secret ones) like Keilder, Tweed Valley (Kailzie Gardens)  or Aberfeldy, where there was talk of tracking projects.

As an aside, another subject that has been overlooked is.....what happened to the artificial nest projects, like Arne, near Poole and the French ones they were trying out in the Gironde.

EDIT: At 15.27 hrs....I just put up the new thread, using the same filename on my laptop, the spreadsheet has updated OK.....but interestingly the one on this thread is still unchanged. So as I update the new thread the 'history' will be kept.

Welll at least that is progress. I thought that the cam on the RSPB site was Real Player?

Possibly issues with Flash Player too.

Hi Tiger - this is what I get..............

I have X86 processor - don't understand why it's showing 128-bit???

This is what I get from RSPB LG webcam - have uninstalled WMP and reinstalled it several times but never had a picture???

Does this mean anything to you??

That says Cipher Strenght which is not what we are talking about My cypher strenght is 256.

I think your system is most likely 32 bit.

Hi Wendy,

I run the same system as you. Windows XP with IE8 and have no problems seeing the RSPB webcam. If I go to About IE8 it also shows 128 bit, but I have it set at 32 bit in the control settings (with only 2 options, 16 bit and 32 bit).

Hi Tiger - I too have never been able to get RSPB LG cam but can get Carnyx ok so have been following latest info - when I looked at my IE8 help it said 128 bit - can that be right - if so what silverlight do I need??  I always get the message that RSPB cam needs windows media player and I have downloaded it even though I already had it and various deletes & reloads but nothing works - am all at sea now!!! (and I can't swim)

Does your media player play anything else like video clips?
