Introduction
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
WebVision is a viewer program for a fairly recent phenomenon on the World
Wide Web - web cameras. Web cameras are recorded images published on the web
and updated at regular intervals. They may show everything from a TV channel
or somebody's living room to the weather in a city in northern Norway.
You can view these images with a regular webbrowser, you can even have it
update the page at regular intervals, but WebVision offers a more specialized
and optimized approach. Web camera sites are configured in a special
window and viewing one opens a dedicated window, which is sized exactly to
fit the camera image. Update delay, save directory and other parameters
are easily configured individually for each camera.
For registered users, an Internet update server is available that allows you
to exchange sites with other WebVision users. At the last count, this
database contained over 600 webcams, with more being added all the time.
Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· AmigaOS 3.0 or higher.
· A JPG datatype like akJFIF or Prodev-JFIF.
· MUI 3.8 or higher.
· An AmiTCP compatible TCP/IP stack (like AmiTCP, Miami or TermiteTCP).
Features
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· Highly multithreaded operation, busypointers are practically banned
and all operations can be aborted.
· Many advanced configuration possibilities.
· Extremely flexible autosave function for saving camimages.
· Update the hierachical list of camsites automatically over the Internet.
· Carefully designed MUI GUI.
· Supports CyberGraphX Video Layers for 16 bit images on 8 bit screens.
· Supports many advanced HTTP features such as HTTP proxy (with
authorization), streaming webcams, Basic authorization, downloading only
updated images, etc.
Version history
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
WebVision 2.2 (26.9.99)
· The &e expansion character only worked right when placed at the end of a
filename. (Dean Husby)
· Sigh... the WV 2.1 Listtree.mcc workaround wasn't right, I think I
finally identified the real problem and worked around it. An annoying
sideeffect of this "fix" is that closed groups will be opened if any sites
need to be deleted inside them.
(Sigbjørn Skjæret)
· Changed back to prefer Textinput.mcc over BetterString.mcc.
· Changed the way the CGX VideoLayer is attached to the window, this should
cure the problem with overwriting the windowborder. (Frank Mariak)
· Now uses Popplaceholder.mcc by Marcin Orîowski for autosave formatting codes.
(PiKe)
· Cloning enhanced, you can now clone groups, and the cloned node is scrolled
into view.
(PiKe)
· Added a contextmenu over the camwindows, with same entries as the Site menu.
