@mattdb

are these ones already in the database or new ones.

If already in the database can you give me the camera codes?

also can you give me the code of the one not working.

U400C28 seems dead.

The one in the database already is U400C21

The 'dead' one is the same on the main site, so it's probably a problem with the camera.

I'll check the others and add them in the next update.

Cheers

Hi Enforcer,

First, congratulations for your great job!

How could I help you to include more cams from Brazil?

I can provide you a extense link list of all cams from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

I tried to download your plugin with no success. Could you help me?

Thank you

Account is now activated.

There is already cameras for São Paulo but if you have some that on the list then that will be useful. Also if you can get the GPS coords of the ones which are there it would be good.

I have some for Rio de Janeiro ready to go (with GPS coords) but they are slow and the program crashes sometimes when they are added to the database. Trying to see if it is one particular camera or the site in general.

Thanks En4cer. I added some traffic cams on your forum. But, I dont have their coord now. I can get all "estimated" gps coordinators when I have more time (maybe next weekend I hope).

Does your plugin accepts video traffic cams, I mean streaming cammeras? like that http://www.ponte.com.br/concessionar...C19925BA3CE151

Thanks for you work in getting those cameras, however I already have those, plus more from the same site, and I also have the GPS cords for them.
Unfortunately they are the ones that hang the program when used at the moment, hence the reason I have not released them into the Brasil database.

At present it will only handle static jpg images and not streaming ones. I will look at the streaming ines in the future but have certain reservations about them.

1. There seems to be lots of different methods used to stream.

2. Speed and bandwidth issues, not to mention the amount of data usage on a mobile plan (which would be needed for this to work in the car)

3. Also if you have a number of these on the screen, like the static ones are at the moment, it will probably slow the program down and make the streams un watchable unless you have a really powerful PC.

Just a side note, I would love to be able to add some custom images to the traffic cam app. Like radars...... any chance of a user being able to modify their own database?
