Hey all...

Over the last couple of days I had to move my office and so the engineers had to disassemble and reassemble our video server. Sorry, meant to give you a heads up but I really had my hands full yesterday.

Today the stream seems a bit sketchy so I'm going to reboot the server and see if it clears up -- we were messing with the audio/video firewire devices so that might have created a problem. WM Encoder isn't particularly stable to begin with :)

Also: I have added a link to the Sutton Avian Research Center's eagle cam, it's pretty cool. I put it on the main hawk page (www.kjrh.com/hawks).

They've said they'll give us a reciprocal link, which would be very cool. I'd love to suck some of them into this forum to help us answer questions, e.g.: What's up with the sycamore pods?

Also, I'm going to take advantage of this empty nest time (ca. 1030 central) to rewind some tape and capture a couple of clips.

Everything else you've seen up to this point today has been live...

I wish there was a way to indicate on your screen if what you're seeing is live or tape, but without a switcher (and THAT ain't happening!) I have no idea how I'd do that.

The only other option is to turn the stream off completely when encoding tape, but that seems unnecessary.

Okay all I'm going to reboot and start encoding so take a break from your Eternal Vigil.

And I don't say this nearly often enough: All of us here at 2NEWS and kjrh.com REALLY appreciate all that you do and your support of this forum and our beautiful feathered friends.

Peace...

Hip Hip Hooray to Russell WE ALL appreciate you and your efforts!! Thanks for clarifing things for us and I have tried viewing the Sutton cam but haven't had much luck so thanks for adding the link. AND if there is anything we can do for you (I am sure I can speak for everyone!) Let us know!

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow a mystery
Today is a gift

Me, too--Thanks, Amen, and Hallelujah!

Thanks for all you do, Russell.  I've been watching the eagles at the Sutton Center and yesterday a black trash bag blew into the nest.  Today, I see it finally blew away.  Thanks for the link. 

Thanks a heap, Russell... for all of that: explanation of the cam glitches, the Sutton Center link, etc... And you're right, it could prove very helpful to us all to have an expert ( a NICE one !) on this forum to keep us educated about all of the nuances we've been observing, but are not experts about.

And right back at ya on the kudos! By the way: Happy settling in your new nest at work :-)

Thank you Russell! Now I can stop cussing at my computer, which is usually to blame...

Well, now I don't know-is anyone else still having trouble with the video feed? I have tried media player where I usually watch, I have tried the web site camera via AOL and IE (Mozilla is unhappy when I try to do that) and all of them do the same thing, the cam comes up for a few seconds then the screen goes black. If Bob and Gunit are not having trouble, why am I?  I even restarted my computer. I can watch the eagle nest cams, no problems.

KJRH Webmaster:

I have added a link to the Sutton Avian Research Center's eagle cam, it's pretty cool. I put it on the main hawk page (www.kjrh.com/hawks).

They've said they'll give us a reciprocal link, which would be very cool. I'd love to suck some of them into this forum to help us answer questions, e.g.: What's up with the sycamore pods?

Where on the Hawk Page is it ??? I looked but can't find it. Maybe my headcold is numbing my brain, and I just looked right at it, but didn't register it... Russell??? Anybody else seeing it?

I have it from somewhere else so I didn't look for it on the hawk page.  http://www.suttoncenter.org/eaglecam.html

Feel better socal!

Thank you, sallyls. I did actually find it by googling it... It's going to be a fun one to watch... another day... I'm going to go lay down. It started last night as a dry cough / nose drip & post-nasal drip cold thing... But I am having aches and chills now. I'm glad you can't catch this through cyberspace :-)....

Gee, it felt like we just had an earthquake! It's 4:44 left-coast time... I wonder... It could just be military war games out off the coast. We hear and feel those booms frequently... But this felt like an earthquake... I'm turning on the news, THEN laying down.

6:48 PM - Cam on streets with cars moving on them. Some camera "bounce."

Socal, I haven't found it there either, though I had already known about it, since it's not all that far from B'ville.

Help!!  I have rebooted, I have installed updates to media player, I have installed quicktime  and a media player plugin for mozilla, and all I get, at best, is 2-3 seconds of camera then the screen goes black. 

Sallyis, what kind of computer do you have?

Pc windows vista.  I sent you a pm.  EVERYTHING else plays, I can stream from the station, i can watch the eagles and other cams, it is just the tower cam that is not playing properly
