WeatherCat uploads to WU *WEBCAM*
jennajon:
Here we go again....is anyone else having outage/error issues FTPing
images to their PWS on WU??
Here is information from WC log:
03:34:14 13-Nov-2017: Wunderground: Getting web cam picture file.
03:34:14 13-Nov-2017: Wunderground: Wunderground image ready for FTP - added to FTP queue.
03:34:15 13-Nov-2017: FTP: FTP upload starting.
03:34:15 13-Nov-2017: FTP: Uploading image.jpg.
03:34:15 13-Nov-2017: FTP: curl: (28) Timeout was reached
03:34:15 13-Nov-2017: FTP: FTP ERROR (28) - Upload timed out.
03:34:15 13-Nov-2017: FTP: FTP ERROR 910: Failed to complete upload (null) - retrying in 1 second.
Of course the retry fails.
Absolutely NOTHING has changed on my end, have been uploading for YEARS from Blue Iris and that is failing with same error.
i think perhaps it might be time to kill the webcam uploads to WU permanently..... [banghead]
--jenna feeling a bit angry
jennajon:
Although i may be a bit premature, it appears
that WU may be killing off FTP uploads; i set up yet another
camera as URL forwarded and that one is now showing as needing
approval.
Any of the other cams i have set up as FTP are showing as no longer active.
*facepalm*

The problem is on WU's end. Webcam uploads are frequently broken on my account. About every 5 or six weeks for the last year I have noticed my uploads to WU don't upload. I send their tech support an email and ask them repair the link to my camera. A couple of says later the uploads start working again. Then the process repeats itself. Although WU is by far the largest repository of backyard weather station information in the world, they don't seem to pay much attention these days to the quality of their PWS interface.

I guess no one told any of you that WU is no longer accepting webcam images from us. Wedneday, Jeff Masters said an announcement should be on the sign up page that as of Dec.15 that service will be discontinued.
Many of us have had our webcams deactivated and no longer publishing.
In part, here is the message we have received from Jeff:
thanks for all your reporting of issues with webcams over the past few months. Due to the difficulty we've had maintaining this feature, its negative ROI, and the downsizing of our staff, it has been decided to drop the webcam feature from WU on December 15. An announcement will go up on our webcam page on Wednesday
So the problem is with WU and not WC.

Many thanks for this information.....and i had a feeling that is what was going on. *sighs* It is precisely why i posted the error information for discussion rather than point fingers at WC. WU has deteriorated since being bought...again. [interesting]
