Thread: Traffic Cams International v1.3.0 (1.4 Beta available)

No, the London ones should work, just tested them now.

The London ones are a bit funny in the way they update, so I have to use a hidden webbrowser to refresh them.

What exactly is happening or showing, pics will help.

Which database have you got?

If it is UK002 then open up the TrafficCams.E4D file with notepad and copy and paste the first line into a post

the rest of the lines are unreadable

Ok,

Change that first line to

UK00132131628078061543


run the program the database should now think it's UK001

leave for 5-10 mins, and the database should update to a new one.

Run the program again and this time the Database should be back to UK002 and the London cameras should work.


let me know if it doesn't

exit the program and run again

Took a look at the software, and it looks really good!. I built a similar program for my commercial version for my vendor for a new york limo company and I was able to find the New York transportation direct website that reposits the camera feed into a jpg file. Originally we were tapping into the cameras directly from trafficland, but they changed their site so that it was not allowing to use the camera feed alone, you had to use their entire site. This made it impossible to show more than one camera at a time.

I was wondering if each camera url has to be entered manually for each city into a database or does it read an RSS feed or something like that?

Hmm, OK, There is probably a file called TrafficCams.E001 or similar, delete this and run again.

No rss feed, it just a case of having a database with an entry for each camera.

Of course when a site reorganises the database entry would have changed for that camera.

Sonics interface used the trafficland data, he was tapping into someone else's site who managed to tap into trafficland and had xml that was updated as trafficland updated it's info. I haven't used that currently but may for the furure.

Also some sites go out of their way to make it difficult to access the jpg's (Understandable), I intend on adding extra cose to try and bypass this, some I will be able to others I won't.

Also will look to add the ones that use streaming, but that may take up to much bandwidtrh and be impractical for use in the car.
