My problem is that I'm not sending any kind of video, streamed, Flash, or stereo. This bit of text above my WU Web Cam image explains it better than I can:"Updated: 9:28 PM GMT on July 13, 2015 (7 minutes ago)". There ain't no "stream", nor even a faucet!! [lol]

I avoid WYSIWYG editors for the exact reason that they make it difficult to see the raw code. ;) Generally, you can help see what they generate by breaking things between every pair "><". Then, indenting is important to help see the blocks of code. Naturally, if the editor color codes things, that's also very helpful.

The major changes I see in your new WU code and the old one that I had copied is in the last, extremely verbose "<pram...> line.
Changes I see:
  • ...wunderground.com/webcamramdisk/e/l/elagache/1/current.jpg... becomes
    ...wunderground.com/webcamarchive/e/l/elagache/1/2015/07/1435788343-20150701150543PDT.jpg

  • ...wunderground.com/webcamcurrent/e/l/elagache/1/current.mp4?e%3D1436820647... becomes
    ...wunderground.com/webcamarchive/e/l/elagache/1/2015/07/2015071.mp4?e%3D1436794115
In other words, they've changed the path to the images! [banghead] webcamramdisk is gone, replaced by webcamarchive. That same newly named folder also replaces webcamcurrent!

Apparently, they don't bother telling anyone about these changes! They just wait for Blick to post here! Bet the Trixology Forum Admins didn't know their baby was so important! [cheer] [bounce] [rolleyes2]

I am now unable to get to the page that offers the embed or direct link code snippets. Possibly, WU has added some intelligence to verify that there is actually a stream/video that could even use that link/code. It may be nothing more than the change in the path mentioned above. That new directory may be added when one "Adds a Web Cam". I may go back and delete/edit/add my 'web cam' again. I don't have enough to keep me busy... except the 100+ heat index! [sweat2]

Dear X-Air and WeatherCat code tinkerers, . . .

I avoid WYSIWYG editors for the exact reason that they make it difficult to see the raw code. ;)

Seamonkey has a HTML editing mode just like the original Mozilla editor.  However, if indeed you want to be careful, TextWranger will give all the code and only the code.

The major changes I see in your new WU code and the old one that I had copied is in the last, extremely verbose "<pram...> line.

I don't know what you are complaining about . . . . I get back to my website today and it looks . . . . . . great!?!??  [goofy]



With lousy software like this, . . . . we don't need any evil hackers!!  . . .

*Sigh*, . . . Edouard

P.S. Flash cannot die fast enough for me!  [banghead]

I thought Flash was/is a security problem! [rolleyes2]

For this reason, I use TextWrangler. Also, I use it because I am cheap and it is free.
