sorry they haven't passed on to us what the problem is or how long it will be down.  All we can do is be patient and hope that they will be back up soon.

The refresh cam links for the black eagle, bald eagle and osprey cams are missing/removed.  Inquiry as to the status of those cams have been made.

Both EP and NK are down at 21:28 zulu (GMT) Friday 27/3/09.

 

Also any news about NK Time Warp please? It's been down since the changeover from WMV to Flash. Don't suppose there's any chance of dumping Flash format, now that's it's been proven to be more unreliable than the previous format.

If one visits http://onenetplace.net/livebroadcast.aspx which transports the Africam signal, you can see the better quality of other sites that don't use Flash.

we (the mods) have not gotten any word on the status of the time warp videos.  Nor have we heard of any consideration to change from flash format.  To correct your statement.. flash format has not proven to be unreliable.  The onenetplace.net broadcasts you refer to uses a fairly new format that Microsoft put out called Silverlight which will be a direct competitor to the flash format.  Currently that format is not even used very much yet.   JMHO but personally I like to wait especially with microsoft products till the bugs are out and the software has been accepted more.  Flash format seems to serve the purpose for a vast majority without problems on most websites.

Thank you for your answer. The computer industry are aware that Flash is a resorce hog and those sites that use it are some of the slowest loading in the whole web.

One Net Place are the broadcaster for the Africam streams and they agree to provide the format demanded by the customer (Africam).

Silverlight is an option only. However on my computer it is 10 times faster than Flash.

From day one, Africam used to use the Windows Media Encryption method and there were few, if any, problems.

The current "NK is up, or down" only became a reality with the commencement of using Flash Encryption.

http://webcam.keywest.com/  which is an American site, gives an indication of the superiority of using WME instead of Flash.

We have been informed that the problem with the streaming cams was due to a major telkom failure.  No estimate of fix was given.

I was informed that the new globes (lights) for NK should be there tomorrow.  Hopefully they will be able to get them installed and lighting working properly again for tomorrow night.
