My moon icon randomly appears throughout the daylight hours. One upload its the silly moon in the middle of the day, one upload its back to the partly cloudy one.
The new webcam routine isn’t working for me. I go to the setup, select the driver, choose format and nothing happens. No capture, no live picture, no webcam at all now… boo hoo… 
do you have a solar sensor?
as if very low solar, then wd will think its night time…but i need to have it make sure it is acutaly past sunset!
web cam:
make sure you highlight the driver in the list that you need to use, then click on set
then
click on the video source…and then tab across…to capture source…and select the correct setting there…and then click on apply
others have it working, so i am assuming you have missed a step somehwere
and then with the video format, you should be able to select a higher resolution (this is a big improvement)
Brian,
I just looked at the main screen which shows the overcast icon. The last upload at 3pm my time displayed the moon icon on the summary image. The 2:30 upload showed the overcast icon. The 12:30pm upload showed the moon icon also. No solar sensor is connected and the lat-lon and time are correct.
The webcam routine is so messed up now i’m not even gonna try it, i get the blue screen of death everytime i try to enable it and have to reboot and disable the webcame to get wd to load.
after you first try the webcam, it locks, then the 2nd time you should be able to go back there…
so you are giving up on the web cam in wd
maybe i will have to have the old method still available
not sure what is happening to the moon icon for you
do you mean the clear night icon, with the moon in it
or the actual moon phase icon
look at it right now. in the summary image is the moon. its only 5pm here and we still have 2 hrs of sunlight. the summary text reports “mostly cloudy”.
thats the clear night icon…not a moon icon…
it should be showing what is in the metar,…,…
how do you have your icons set?
from the metar?
maybe i have a glitch then…from the mostly cloudy word
investigating
i see the problem
uploading a fix
but i will also try to get the old web cam capture back as an option
Don’t worry too much on the webcam. I’m going to buy a new webcam Sunday anyway(my daughter wants one to use around her school for candid shots) so don’t spent alot of time on the old routine.
10.17e has he old style web cam capture back…you nee to tick that…use old method
i notice after a reboot wd is not picking up my web cam with the new webcam…
