Sorry your weren't feeling well Judy the cam just went down and came back again... did you reboot it ??
PS.. It had spinning circle before that and I refreshed and it came back.
It seems OK now.
No. Ken may be rebooting them (or the Wowza server) from time to time - I've seen the Surrey cams go briefly black one after the other.
Thank you Judy and please get some rest today There is a nasty bug on the go here .. Agnes and Kyle both have a nasty cold..JudyB wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 8:14 amNo. Ken may be rebooting them (or the Wowza server) from time to time - I've seen the Surrey cams go briefly black one after the other.
I also cannot log into Harrison South. I'll send a message to Ken - sometimes he can do things remotely with his connection to the computer out there, but it may eventually require a site visit.
Glad to hear that you're feeling better, Jean - that's a long time to be under the weather!Jean wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 2:44 pm2:30pm.............Hi Judy and all........sorry to hear you haven't been well either. Not a good time of the year I think. Spring can't come soon enough for me. I've had both vertigo and gout to contend with since early December. Finally almost back to my old self.
General questions.......nothing urgent.........
At Delta2 we are having an issue with the embedded cams. This seems to have started a couple of months ago maybe. The embedded cams are getting spinning circles frequently. The cams do usually come back on their own but we find we often have to refresh our screens to make them appear current again while we are zooming. And then they will spin again a few minutes later. When they do spin this shows up on the rollback as a blip, in other words we have lost a moment or two of the actual footage. When zoomers are looking to find a particular thing we often spend a long time trying to get this moment before we realize that it just isn't there to find. And zoomers need these embedded cams to work properly while they are zooming the cams as that is where we grab our s'caps from. So that is wasted time when we don't have a lot of time to be on the cams. Yesterday it was like that with me and I finally gave up in frustration. What makes it worse is that with a very long rollback time now it is a real challenge to locate a particular moment so we can get a s'cap from it. Zoomers are mostly looking for things within a shorter time frame and this long rollback makes it an onerous task. When we had a shorter rollback maybe 4 hours or so.........it seemed to be better. The end result is that using the rollback is not an efficient, useful tool anymore.........and I think we are all wanting to leave it alone now unless something urgent happens. At first I thought our cold, windy weather was to blame for the spinning circles, but it has gone on for so long now I wonder if there is some other reason.

I was away from my computer until 5:59 pm, and found a spinning arrow on the East embedded cam when I returned. I clicked "live" and it jumped to the present. I went back to the beginning of the dvr, and it was 12 hours back, suggesting nothing was deleted by the spinning circle this time.
The dvr on West also went back 12 hours.
All of which proves nothing, beyond the fact that it's really hard to debug things that happen intermittently. But we'll keep trying.
8:06 am - the E Embedded Cam is still down for Delta.....I am going to try to log into the zoomer cam and see if that helps with anything.

Edit: I was unable to log into the E Cam (zoomer cam)....I received the message 'Can't Reach this Page'. I noticed that when I tried to go into YouTube directly that the address or name or something changed so my bookmark didn't work for either of the embedded cams. I was able to find the W Cam and that seems to be working okay. It goes back only 6 hours and 51 minutes (back to 21:58 pm last night)....which is good for me, but I assume the cams went down at that time.
Thanks, Jean - and I know your post was written before East went down.Jean wrote: ↑Wed Jan 22, 2020 10:02 pm10:01pm..........Judy, I have rebooted both zoomer cams at Delta. Will have to wait and see if this makes any difference to getting spinning circles or not.
Also..............the blips I was talking about before are what occurs as we watch the rollback of the cams. I think maybe the recording is made, don't know but when we try to use the red line to view something and actually watch the video playback as things happen, it will sometimes skip over a moment as if it has not been recorded................but the playback will still go back 12 hours. That is not affected. This blip usually coincides with the time there was a spinning circle there.
Also.........as I look now I see that the E cam seems to be going on and off.
At this time they are both ON again.
Hi Judy! The Delta E Cam is back online now!!! Thanks to you and Ken, or whoever got it back up and running!JudyB wrote: ↑Thu Jan 23, 2020 8:42 amHi Sandy, Sue and all -
I just got off the phone with Ken, and he's not able to reach Delta East remotely, which means there's no signal going to the Wowza server - and thus no signal to YouTube.
Bev - this is also what he's seeing at Harrison South, these are his thoughts on that cam, too.
He suspects the weather is a factor in all this, and there's a chance that it will come back online by itself, so I'd suggest that zoomers try logging in from time to time, since he may need to reboot the Wowza feed if the cam begins working again.
If Delta East doesn't come back up in a day or two (and if the weather improves a bit), he may be able to check things on site - but I don't have a time frame for that. A site visit for Harrison Mills is less likely in the near future, but he knows we'd love to have the cam back, and will do what he can when he can.
Sorry I don't have better news - and Ken is also sorry that there's no easy fix this time.

Thanks, Sandy! Maybe moisture in a cable or connection or something? Hopefully it’ll be back up soon.
