Seems to be a few. We really should do a sysops meet down there, though it will now have to wait until my track season finishes. While I'm not in Melbourne, it's only 2 hours on the train. :)


... A system event? Wow! Can I get tickets?

Ponder, the weather page usually looks like...

http://tlp.zapto.org/hidden_stuff/melbourne.jpg

It usually streams ok in firefox and chrome, although I don't check versions thereof. It is slow to get going though. It's got to fight its way through a local proxy from incoming port to a change in IP locally.

So I use chrome (well Brave which looks like its based on chrome), and I get video is loading or unsupported after a while... :(

IIRC it was working - when I looked at it moons ago...

I don't even see the boxes under west/east. I tried this mornming, when
my NBN fixedwirless is usable. during the evening, like right now it's
crap.

Hmm intriguing. I haven't changed the streaming method. Its mjpg-streamer. It
worked back at Firefox ~45, and still in 65.0x. Chrome must be updating itself while I'm not looking, its at 80.0x current.

Honestly I was a little surprised that the streaming worked at all. Its just planted as an IMG url in the html code. Which might be a reason its slow to render at the client end, it has to decide what its getting.

I'll make some enquiries as to whats happening. The only other change locally was to put them inside a table to get the east/west in as table headers.

There are no "boxes". I hate the borders so I disable them, the result is if something fails to load there's only space where it should be. Plan 2, I'll put
the reversion in as test.shtml

Thats the alt text for the the image. Its essentially a place holder... I never thought about it, but I wonder if I could sneak a html into the alt text position.
