I have been an active member watching Africam frequently and suddenly since the new changes on the site I have not been able to view anything. The ad comes up, but when I click on nkorho pan on the green tab nothing happens. When I click on the nkorho pan streaming link to the left under streaming cams a new page opens up and it's still a black window. And when I go to the pop up player here http://africam.com/main_player11.asp?sh=africam&ch=Wildlife# it just says ready and doesn't start.

 What could this be? I haven't done anything different at all.. it all started happening ever since africam redid the site and included those green tabs.

EP works fine when I go to the Elephan Plans main site here and click on webcam http://www.elephantplains.co.za/home/ I just can not get NK to work at all... any suggestions or anyone might know what's going on?

I have the same problem only worse since I have had to reload my whole system. Now I can hear the cams (if I use those other links), but the picture is just large blocks of colors. I have no idea what changed on this site, but now with my system being different somehow, it seems I am doomed. Even IE tab doesn't work.Cry

what WMP version are you using?  Did it change (update) when you reloaded your system?

Hi,

Try these two links(I hope they work for you):

 

http://www.africam.com/player/bbe_player.php

 

http://www.africam.com/player/bbe_player_ep.php

 

They work for me with Mozilla Firefox. There is also an IE Tab add-on that you can get from the Firefox homepage that change the page to Internet explorer and then you will get all the ads and videos.

 

The new page apparently was designed only for Internet Explorer which is sprising since there are so many other browsers now and so many of us prefer not to use IE. I'd hate to see Africam lose potential viewers to thier wonderful site, perhaps they'll fix it soon.

Have a Great Day!

Which browser are you using? And which version of Windows Media Player?

I have the same problem as you in Internet Explorer but in Mozilla Firefox both cams work fine.

The first link you gave is no longer a valid link to NK.  I don't know why the green button or the link in orange would not work for the NK link unless there is some way that your isp has cached the old link or your pc has.  Try to clear your cache and history.  There was a change to the url location of the NK cam a few days ago if you were using the url method to view the cam.  I use firefox with the free adblock plus add on so don't get the ad but others do and it does seem to hand off to the cam for them ok after the ad.
