Surfcam using Macbook and Safari

Good work herve76.. glad to see it's come back for you.

yeh all good after following insructions

Finally figured out that I needed to press the Control key while right clicking.....now it works...thanks

Unreal fellas.. great to hear.

yeah no go for me either, cant watch any live streaming at all. Im runnin Mac 10.6.6 ???

Hi, getting all cams, however i have not been able to get mollymook for months, will this camera be operating at all? Thanks Mick - Mollymook

Hi Mick, some of the hardware needs to be replaced at Mollymook, and this should be done in the following few weeks.

hi - can't see any cams on firefox or safari. Running firefox 3.6.13 and OSX 10.6.6 on a Macbook pro

cheers

o, there u go.....disabled hardware acceleration and works now...just goes to show reading the instructions is occasionally a good idea : )

thanks 4 the ongoing awesome service

Thank you nadrohmit, I was having this issue with all cameras all of the time, including all the opposition's cameras but one, if I may be permitted to say, all of the time.
Your solution fixed the whole thing. Now every camera works.
I don't know where you found your info, for me this was a little obscure,
For other inepts like me:-
I right clicked on the video camera screen.
Click on Settings
Got a little Window (Adobe Flash Player Settings) which has a little Screen icon on the bottom left hand side which brings up another window where you can de-check Enable Hardware Acceleration. Solved that one for now.

I can necer get the cam at mollymook. I can get others. Anysuggestions?

Sunday, read my reply to Mick above.

Most cams are OK but the Thirroul cam hasn't been usable for some months - is there a problem with this one or has it been rubbed?
Since using Google Chrome I have had more success with the cams. on this and other sites - using XP operating system.

hey guys, I can view the web cams on my macbook using firefox. it also wasnt possible to view the webcams on my work PC also using firefox.

thanks

Geoff

Hi there Swellnet. I can not view the Portsea surfcam, infact have had trouble with it for some time. Occasionally it will work, next time I try it… nothing. But lately I can't get anything at all. Is the problem with the camera itself? or does the issue stem from the current bugs Swellnet seems to experiencing with it's surfcams? Pretty frustrating.
I'm using Mac OS 10.6.6 & Safari 5.0.3
Thanks.

Forgot to say in my last post, that despite not being able to view the Portsea surfcam for some time… I have been able to watch all the recent action on the Snapper Rocks surfcam up in Queensland with no problems at all.

Steve and gford, Thirroul and Portsea are not working at the moment due to hardware failures. Hopefully they will be replaced within the coming weeks.

Thanks for your patience.

Hey ya Swellnet, Merry Chrissy and Happy New Year=) I've been having troubles with the Scarborough Surfcam for some time now> and just wondering what is the problem? Is it because I have a Macbook?? I would really like to remedy this as i really like the services you provide. Your surfing Buddy Lee Ballard =)

Lee, try this.

Hold 'control' and click the surfcam player and go into settings. Disable the hardware acceleration and then refresh the page.

This should fix it.

Thanks for answering my questions/concerns about the Portsea surfcam Craig.
Nice one!

Yep they're all working for me, Mac OS X 10.6.6, with FireFox as browser... Brilliant thanks Swell Net!! =)

Hi I am unable to access the surfcam for Southport, South Australia

hi - i'm on mac os 10.6.6 and safari 5.0.3 and have no cams.

Thirroul camera hasn't worked for weeks, or at least I cant access it. Mac 10.6.6 and Safari

hi , i think im having the same problem as others, last year i had no problem with surfcams and for the last few months im stuck with a frozen screen.
i use an imac. Any help would be good. cheers

BBark, Southport is working fine, are you still having problems viewing the cam?

SVJ, I'll let out tech guy Matt know.

WCSMP, Thirroul is awaiting some hardware replacement so hopefully in the next couple of weeks it's up and running.

Cheeba, What cam is frozen? Newcastle and Coffs were earlier this morning, but I've gone in and kicked them off again. Hopefully it's all good now?

All good here...Mac OS X 10.6.6 with Safari 5.0.3

My brother and I are both experiencing trouble loading web cam for Vic and Aus
It tries to load, black box with spinning timer,
I’m using windows 7 explore 8 and Firefox v 3.6.13 on a Medion computer
My brother on a dell is using Firefox
Hope you can find a fix soon

Macka and Doug, all of our Vic surfcams are awaiting hardware replacement.. should be online in the next week or two. Apologies for the inconvenience.

hi i too am experiencing problems on my macbook with most of nsw all of victoria all but snapper in qld. any suggestions?

hey

yeah im having problems as well, bower isnt working on safari
and i cant get any to work on google chrome as well?

sorry about this

dukedean, mac and danny-ocean - have you tried disabling your hardware acceleration? it's worked for everyone else so far.

To do this, hold 'control' and click the surfcam player and go into settings. Disable the hardware acceleration and then refresh the page.

vazerhino - not sure why you're experiencing intermittent issues. We're using the same system for every surfcam so you should either have all or none working.

Hey I see the Portsea surfcam is at long last up & running again. Looking good.

Does anyone know why the Mollymook surfcam seemingly hasn't been working for months?? It used to be fine, some time ago - I'm on a Mac desktop (OS X 10.5) using Firefox &/or Safari...all other cameras work beautifully, but for ages Mollymook's has just had the black spinning wheel of death....!HELP!

Flipper, the Mollymook cam has been down and out of action for a few months.

It's awaiting some hardware replacement in the next couple of weeks.

i hav a mac using safari...lorne cam not working,,hasnt wirked 4 a long time,,cheers andy

Thanks Craig, good to know it might be back online soon...flipper3

thermalben,
I am currently using a mac OS X 10.5.8, safari version 5.0.2. and I can;t seem to view any of the cameras. It used to wok fine! Hopefully you can help me.
Cheers

Hi guys, in case you aren't aware, Margaret River is offline at the moment with the message "Stream not found:mp4:margaretriver".
Cheers

I live in Ocean Grove, Vic and I have not been able to view vic web cams forever. I can see Qld but not here?!! I have a HP desktop with a windows OP. I can view cams on coastalwatch. What to do?

Jeff, all of the Vicco cams have been offline for a while besides Portsea which has recently had some hardware replaced.

We're testing some new hardware currently and they should be back up and running soon.

Thanks for your patience.

at work trying to view on firefox, 13th beach cam not working on iexplorer either, will try on macbook when home

johnnyhsaywhat - 13th Beach is currently offline. Should be back in the next week or two.

ahhh, ok cool no probs

Lorne Flinders and 13th Beach cameras are not working at the moment. Using Win XP and Firefox. Portsea is working fine though.

Murrayceff, all the Victorian cams aren't working at the moment, besides Portsea.

Hopefully they will be up in a few weeks.

The Southport stream is not working, it says "Stream not found: mp4: Southport"....

perhaps my admin has blocked it....
