Alldayvideo(datestamp).mpg missing

Windows XP pro SP3, WD V10.37O build 15, webcamcapture V9.3.

The following files are being generated:- ‘videolasthour’ wmv + mpg, ‘videolastday’ wmv + mpg & ‘yestreday.wmv’ and they appear in ‘/alldayvideo’.
The wmv files are uploading OK and also being copied to ‘/holdwmv’.

No ‘yesterday.mpg’ is generated therefore there can be no ‘alldaymovie(datestamp).mpg’.
The funny part is that ‘alldaymovie(datestamp).mpg’ was generated last month.
Any assistance will be gratefully received.

Screen-shot shows the current configuration.


you need to have ticked those yesterday options though
Upload yesterday.wmv and the one underneath

anyway, I have been meaning to re do this setup screen…i.e re organise to make it more intuitive
as the problem was the options kept on growing/being added
but now it needs re organising

Thanks Windy

I have applied your suggestion and now wait until tomorrow for fruition.

I now think I know why I had the problem, I was trying to produce only MPG files (I do not mind the WMV files on the HDD but as they will not be used on the site I was trying to stop them uploading as well).
Is this possible or not.

Regards

I have improved the layout and organisation of the all day video setup, hopefully
in the latest update, build 16

Thanks for the re-organisation Windy, much easier to unserstand.

I have updated to build 16 (zip file) and ticked or unticked the boxes which should give me exactly what I require. (See screen shot).
Will report back after sunset.


After a 24 hour period we have one mpg file, ‘videolasthour.mpg’.

Clicking on ‘Create all day web cam video now’ creates ‘videolastday.mpg’.

Screen shot taken this morning after only seeing one file.


Whatever I have ticked the alldaymovie(datestamp).mpg does not get produced.
An (datestamp)dayvideo.wmv and a yesterday.wmv are being uploaded.

I GIVE UP. This program must be flawed.
There is a tick box to autocreate date stamped all day movie file daily (e.g. alldaymovie(datestamp).mpg). Why doesn’t it do it.
All I want is to keep a higher definition (than wmv) daily record.

Can I revert back to an earlier version of WD without loosing my settings, what other problems should I be wary of.

If it’s any console to you…it does not work on mine, either. :frowning:

If it's any console to you....it does not work on mine, either.
Thank you. I was beginning to wonder if I was the only person in the World having this problem and questioning my reasoning / understanding.

I am trying out earlier versions and will report back.

Any luck with the all day video file? I feel your pain…I was inspired to get mine restarted again…and have spent 2 days trying to get it functioning again…

There is no change here.

Current status means there are only three users who want this facility, or there are only 3 users who cannot get it to work, or that every other user but 3 have no use for it .
At least the .wmv file is being produced, unfortunately it is also uploaded every day as well which just increases bandwidth usage and housekeeping.

strangely there is only these few people reporting a problem
.zip and email me your settings files, along with a description of what you only want to get updated, I will try and see whats happening

Hi
not a good idea to put your settings files online
I also need the wdisplayftp.reg file, .zipped
email me that file (see the FAQ on how to get that file)

Email with files sent.

I have found a problem…if you do not have set to create web images at night time, in the time stamped files setup, then it was not going to work

fixed that
use the latest .zip update, ready now

I now have16 sequential days of successful alldaymovie(datestamp).mpg files.
The update is v10.37P Build 15 Version on 21 December 2009 http://www.weather-display.com/downloadfiles/WeatherD.zip
Unfortunately the production of videolastday.mpg does not work at this time. QUESTION ANSWERED - see Windy’s next post.
I suppose that there will always be a problem or two due to the interaction of the many features in such a complicated program that is effectively under continuous development.
My personal thanks, Brian, for your time in correcting the problem for the few who wanted this facility.

its either or
you cant create videolastday.mpg if you are creating alldaymovie(datestamp).mpg

Windy,

I’ve noticed that my yesterday.wmv file has not uploaded for since the beginning of December. I’ve changed no settings at all in the last 2 years. I’ve also updated to the latest version of WD with no change. I’ve attached a screenshot of my settings. Any help is appreciated.

*I’ve checked my ftplog files and it shows no signs of any attempt to upload this file.
