Portal webcam URL
Portal webcam URL
I don't yet have a webcam for my setup but will be getting one soon. To test how it would work I added a live feed URL to the portal settings, and that is where it all went wrong
Now when I open the portal it loads the feed and then goes straight to the website URL that I entered in the settings. There appears to be no way of stopping this so that I can delete the URL.
Is there a way can I remove the URL from my portal configuration, or can this only be done by the administrator?
Own goal, sorry!

Re: Portal webcam URL
You can try opening portal settings before it loads or try turning off your webcam too...then you should be able to change it.
Re: Portal webcam URL
It loads and displays too quick to click on settings, I have been trying that all afternoon LOL.
Re: Portal webcam URL
That is the problem, I dont have a webcam. I entred the URL for a live feed from a website showing a live reef. As soon as the portal page opens the web page jumps to that site. There is no time to scroll down and click on the portal settings!
Re: Portal webcam URL
Whats the name of the site? Put an entry into your hosts file for the site with a bogus ip address.

Oh wow
I can't change it either... I just shoots me to the other website.
I will have to log directly into the database and force a change through sql statement.

I am so sorry Roberto
Just wanted to see where on the portal page the feed would be positioned. I have embedded video feeds in webpages before such as Youtube streams, I can only think that this feed has a anti hijack code built in so that it cannot be used on other sites. If I am stupid enough to do this again I will take a close look at the code behind the URL first.
Thank you for removing the link and restoring the portal to me. I use it so much that it has become my main RA tool since Johns iPad app died.

Re: Portal webcam URL
What is the fix for this? I tried using Ustream broadcast, and now can't get to portal.

Sebyte, get the U-App, it's sooo much better than the original iOS app...Sebyte wrote:I am so sorry Roberto

Sorry for the extra work.

Re: Portal webcam URL
So, is it possible to use a Ustream broadcast within the portal?
This is my embed code that is generated by ustream.
