Great timing, Hal... ;) The "Central Wayfinding Tower Cam" (near the Vintage area) is down - this is known and they're working on it.
and now back up... :)
I give up! Where are the web cams in '365? Are they (and the link) turned off at night? :confused:
The link Hal posted in the first post of this thread will take you right to the camera selection page. Or go to airventure.org/live to see links for all live media.
little bit of troubleshooting help.
Make sure you have the current version of the Windows Media plug-in for your browser. I have personally tested it on Microsoft Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Firefox will require a plug-in they have an help page http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/...n with Firefox
I installed this plug-in for Firefox on my PC and had no problems viewing the streams.

If all else fails, use Internet Explorer.
Also take note of any little pop-ups that would indicate a plugin is being blocked or waiting for a response to load.
Are they up and running? All I get is the controls and a white screen. I have the same computer as last year. Worked then.
:mad: One word: the site is impossible for most users. I'm astounded I got a "reply to thread" as usually I just get the green circle. Now to figure out the right plug in..... My computer does Everything else in the world it seems, but won't do these web cams. I'll just look at the beautiful San Antonio web cams instead. Maybe they don't actually want us to see them?
Hi all, i have a brand new computer with all the latest updates (windows 7, ie, media player etc) ive installed every video plugin i can think of and i still cant get these webcams to come up! BTW im departing Melbourne Australia tomorrow morning for AV11, just wanted to see some of what was already going on???
Hrm, sorry to hear you guys are having problems. I'm on a laptop using xp and Internet Explorer. Nothing fancy, and they're working OK for me.
when people are having issues its difficult to help without the following information...
Operating System:
Web Browser and Version:
Windows Media Plugins:
Mac, iPad, iPhone?
Ian,
I'm going to repost here what I just posted over on the "Field Cams" thread, instead of re-typing the whole thing again. This applies to a Mac. I've had no success viewing the cams on either an iPhone or an iPad. iOs is a different breed altogether than is OS, as you well know. And whereas OS requires QuickTime Player and Flip4Mac to view the cams, iOS has no such animals. Anyway, hope the following helps a little.
"I'm on an iMac (OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8) and I'm watching the cams using either Firefox version 5.0.1 and Flip4Mac version 2.3.8.1 plus QuickTime Player version 10.0, or Safari version 5.05 and Flip4Mac version 2.3.8.1 plus QuickTime Player version 10.0. Either of these combinations will work.
However, I will caution anybody on a Mac regarding the new Safari version 5.1, that apparently there is some problem (translated CONFLICT) with the newest Safari version (5.1) and Flip4Mac. I jumped the gun and downloaded and installed the new Safari yesterday, and suddenly the Safari/Flip4Mac/QuickTime Player no longer worked. Fortunately for me, I regularly clone my hard drive on a USB drive and still had the old version of Safari there, so I was able to re-clone my main drive from that drive and once again have the older version of Safari on my main drive. I was not able to remove the new Safari and re-install an older version on my main drive, thus I had to do the re-clone thingie.
Now I'm back to where I was yesterday before updating to the new Safari with a choice of either Safari or Firefox."
No special computer here either and they work for me. Hope everyone can get it figured out.
Works fine here on Windows XP ( same as last year )
Does EAA Radio have a webcam this year ?
Last year they did, and it was cool to "watch" some of the live Interviews.
Looking forward to the "Airshow Cam" --( with sound I hope )
Good Job... wish I could be there, but webcam ( in the A/C ) is a fair substitute.

When trying to access webcams, I keep getting sent to Oshkosh365 page, then told to log off and log back in. When I do, I keep getting the same message in the members only tab. Won't go into the page, and none of the links to anything but the signup work. It just keeps repeating.
I'm done trying! I'm just gonna have to come down there and see it for myself! :)
(Actually Monday)
EAA's "evil" scheme works again. :P
Tried again today, no joy. Just keeps getting this notice, over and over and over.
The resources below are only accessible to EAA Members.
NOTE: If you are logged in as an EAA member and can't access these links (and see the "Join Now" button above) please manually log out using the link at the upper right and then log back in.
I'm sorta disappointed that the webcams are always panning.
I was hoping to see arriving departing aircraft on the runways...
I give up. :(
Oshkosh365 webpage "members only" page is totally useless. :mad:
its pretty random. Some times they pan, sometimes they don't.
Don,
For what it's worth .... I agree the log in is messed up some way.
I must go to oshkosh365.com and login, then then next page pops up and I must log in again. Then I click EAA members tab, followed by the webcam box. And then I have to press the play button on the video box.... Whew. What a convoluted sort of mess.... but it works for me....

I've never had a problem with webcams. Try hitting F5 once you get to the webcam you want see. Also try installing plug ins you need and then run a restart on your computer. Try those things and let us know what happens.
One thing about the cams, I wish with the North cam that it would scan over fightertown. Small request but I would love to see once already parked there!
Cheers,
Bill
See you all next Friday!!!
7-24-11, I'm watch the view from the webcam tower facing East across Rny 18/36 and in the background it appears to be a large number of military vehicles that are parked rows deep over there, is this true ..? Cam is not that clear. Would these be the returning vehicles from Iraq..? Or the going into "harm's way" military vehicles..? Just curious. BTW great webcam scanning the grounds...!
yes, those trucks belong to Oshkosh Truck http://www.oshkoshcorporation.com/ they make some serious equipment and are a government contractor. Its a safe bet some of those truck are going overseas.
And it's working on an old refurbished laptop with Vista Business (which the laptop really doesn't have enough horsepower for, but that's what HP upgraded it to when they refurbed it) and IE9, sitting in Camp Scholler on the WiFi. So for the first time in quite a while I've gotten everything to work at once.
Dave
Well, everything except my typing fingers hitting the right keys. (Fat Finger Syndrome.)
7-25-11, Tks for the reply RE: The "Military Vehicle's" parked across 18/36. Great to see the results of some employment new's.
I'll answer my own question, since I found the answer myself.
YES.

ADs are PITA, but its better than nothing. ( Google Justin.tv ads -- {wink} )

The new air show cam is fantastic!
Agreed!! And EAA Radio carrying the coinciding (almost :P) airshow announcing makes it really grand!
Love the cams,almost as good as being there!!!! but can we PLEASE, PLEASE,PLEASE work on getting the video and audio sync'd up.
The audio needs to be on the Aishow cam feed, so that it is in Sync. The Eaa radio audio only feed encodes a lot faster, so is way ahead of the Airshow video webcam feed.
I thought I heard audio on the Airshow cam before the airshow started, but it stopped just before 3:30 when teh show started. ( 1st day tech difficulties ? )
Great Job. That Aisrhow cam must have a massive ZOOM lens !!!
Geoff
the video was shot on the tower by Tim and his big fancy camera, video over cat5 connection all the way to the base and streamed from the telcom room. At this time there is no way to get undelayed audio to the encoder in the FAA Tower.....
in case you were wondering we were streaming about 500 connections, about 210Mbps off our server all afternoon.
Its ironic, that in these days of High Quality video, it is typically the associated audio that has the issues.
However, I am sure you will come up with one of many workable soutions -- if not this year, maybe in time for 2012.
Got to wonder what Internet Connectivity Bandwidth, that New Multi-Millon Dollar FAA Tower has :P
Geoff
Is the Theater in the Woods webcam up? Nothing on Linux/Firefox, Win7/Firefox, and Win7/IE9. It streams black. The plugin is loaded. The other Airventure webcams work, on the same site. Thanks. (There is a program in progress. The audio is on EAA radio.)
Geoff et. Al,
While the tower does have some pretty expensive IT infrastructure, we are not using any of FAA wiring. The wondrous video is delivered by DSL line to Discovery World in Milwaukee, Wisconsin which does the heavy lifting as far as bandwidth. Thanks to Paul and DW for making it possible.
