xx HELP! Cannot farm camera on MS
April 16, 2012, 08:45:20 pm by steepleview
Rich and/or Heather (and community!):
I have set up my camera, dazzle and computer with flash. Connected to Internet and marestare. The laptop shows that the feed is streaming on my computer and says "streaming to primary." However, when I go to pull up the camera on MS on my iPad, all I get is a white screen. :-( I have a dial up cell card in my ltop and it shows a decent signal. HELP!
Thanks!

xx When Cams Appear to "Fast-forward"
April 05, 2012, 04:53:23 pm by Rich
Some of you have noticed a recent phenomenon which causes live video to play faster than normal time.

This is a relatively new feature of the Flash player, which keeps the video buffer time low, and should prevent cams from falling far behind real time.

You will see this phenomenon when you minimize a cam for a while, then restore it. It can also occur while just watching a cam. In this case it means that either the cam owner's bandwidth or your bandwidth is not sufficient to stream the cam. If you see it  happening while just watching a cam, check that you are not exceeding your internet connection's bandwidth. You can see how much bandwidth you have at

If you are streaming a cam, the second number (upload) is important. If you are just watching cams, the first number (download) is the one that matters.

Mare Stare Downloads

Flash Downloads

Flash Encoder V.3.2 (Windows)

Required to stream your cam with Flash. For Windows 7, Vista and XP 32 bit and 64 bit only.

Flash Encoder V.3.2 (Mac)

Use this to stream your camera using your Mac. Requires a Mac-compatible webcam or capture device.

Older Versions

Hopefully all the previous issues have been resolved and these older versions won't be needed any more. But they're here for now just in case.

Flash Encoder V.3.1 (Windows)

Flash Encoder V.2.5 (Windows)

Flash Encoder V.3.1 (Mac)

 

Silverlight Downloads

Expression Encoder 4 for Windows

Windows Media Encoder is no longer available and has been replaced with the above program.

Unreal Media Downloads

StreamingMediaPlayer5.msi

Version 5 of the Standalone Streaming Media Player for Unreal Media Cams. Install this if you can't get the plug in to automatically install, or if you want to watch cams on the standalone player from this list

StreamingMediaPlayer4.msi

Version 4 of the above player. Install this if you have Windows 98. (You cannot have both versions installed, but if for some reason you CAN'T use version 5, our software will detect this and call the plug in for this version.)

UMediaPlayerPlugin.exe

This is the plugin for FireFox Version 3. It's a standalone executable, so download it first, then run the program to install it on Vista and XP.

NOTE: ONLY version 3.0.6 (and probably later) will display the cams, regardless of whether this plug in is installed or not. Make sure you UPDATE your version of FireFox in addition to installing this plug in.

ULiveServer_5_5.zip

This is the live server program for cam owners. Download this file to your computer, and completely extract it (unzip it) to your desktop or other location before running it. DON'T run it from within the ZIP file, or you will have problems later.

LiveReconnect.exe

This file does the automatic reconnection of your cam if your internet drops out. This file normally resides in C:\ If you are running Unreal Media cams on Windows Vista, Vista will probably not let you put the file in C:\ unless you log in as the Administrator. You can place it anywhere, but your batch file will need to be modified accordingly.

Miscellaneous Downloads

amcap.exe

This program will allow you to preview your cam when off line.

NOTE: You cannot use this program at the same time you are streaming your cam. Only one software program at a time can use the capture device.

ezcap-win7-drivers.zip

These are the Windows 7 drivers for the EzCAP video capture device, packaged in a ZIP format. The manufacturer supplies these drivers in a .rar file, which many cannot open.

dazzle.zip

Drivers for the OLD (black) Dazzle DVC-80. This Dazzle does not work on Vista. It also will not stream larger screen sizes such as 640x480, such as you might use with a quad processor.

WM9Codecs.exe

Windows Media 9 Codecs. If you have tried everything and you cannot see the cams or get a black screen, give this package a try.
