WebCams2 version 3.0 - for PVRX2

[McBainUK]

Have just uploaded a new version, download from the wiki page.

For the full list of changes see the wiki, but the big ones are:

• Added Archive View (see all the images you have saved).
  
• Improved config app.
  
• Added the Info button to view WebCam’s description.
  
• Much better handling of image downloads to reduce hangs etc.

Post comments below, support questions here.

Very nice work!
Very good layout, worked directly with my Basic2 skin.
I expected Left & Right arrow keys to step to the next image.
Those keys jumped 3 images forward.
Took a while before I found that Next & Prevoius keys stepped to next image.

Is this with a 34 button Hauppage r/c? Left and right should just move along the list.

No, I'm using another remote and have a remote control program that sends Ctrl-F and Ctrl-D on the Arrow keys. I just forgot about that.
I guess the plugin reacts on those commands.....and that works as next page or something.

:-) saw that the wiki page for the RSS-plugin was already up. Looking forward to it.

Wow, thanks MixMan. Guess I have to change the thread title

Do you have all those WebCams setup in the plugin at once? How does it perform?

[MixMan]

Actually I don't remember. Do you remember that I asked you a year ago to use another XML format, the one that an Excel sheet can generate?
But you thought that the user should find the links themselfs.
I have these links in an Excel sheet and I guess that I at that point created a plugin compatible XML file, but never posted it. Perhaps it was to much work to create country specific files. I don't remember....it's to long ago.
I guess the links works, but some links have the & char and that might cause problems. I haven't tested them, but I can do that some evening when theres only boring shows on TV.
Perhaps exporting from Excel a file and importing to a DB3 format would be a way to go. In the Excel file I have the CountyCode and the CountryName plus the Camera link.
I have made a Country XML file that could be used as a reference for this kind of data. The idea is to have a sub directory in GPPVR with this XML file and flags, that plugins could use to present the Country and Flag for content.

I also have something like 4000 radio links in an Excel sheet that could use the Country Excel file for selection.

How often does the source WebCam update?
