************ Updated 1.0.1 version now available. ********
Traffic Cams v1.0.1 Beta
Instructions
------------
Extract from the zip to your Road Runner (or any Front End) folder. Run
TCSearch to find the the cameras you want. Press the button code for the camera
you want it to be. Then run Trafficams.exe. As long as you have internet
connection and the chosen cameras are operational the camera pics should appear.
Clicking on any pic will cause it to maximize, clicking again will go back to normal.
Adjust the amount of times between the program checking for updates by changing the
delay setting in the ini file. The iterval is in seconds. Most UK camera
only update every 5 to 8 minutes at present so a setting of 180 to 600 seconds is
advised. Bear in mind the shorter the delay the more CPU intensive the program will
be and also the more traffic you will have on your internet connection.
To embed in RR simply create a skin with an Application box. A,x,y,h,w,r,g,b
and then a calling button
B,x,y,w,h,"load;traffic.skin;Traffic Cam;$rrpath$Traffic Cams\Trafficams.exe;Trafficams"
