Semi-official Rochelle webcam discussion thread

[JOHN MCNAMARA]

As there a 114 pages in this threadso it might already have been discussed, but is there talk of another webcam ever being added by Trains? The quality of their webcam is excellant. It would be great to add another location.

Sounds like it may be a flash issue. I recently had a issue where I could not log in. This was fixed after a round of updates.

I'm still getting a black screen the other webcam for trains works fine. It won't work on my cell which is a up to date one either what could it be?

All posters, please mention what browser and o/s you are using.

My quick test on Linux Mint 19 with Ublock Origin turned off - Firefox and Waterfox show the webcam image (limited due to darkness now) but suspiciously Vivaldi and Chromium are completely black.

Could be a possible setting issue in Chromium based browsers including Google Chrome. In FF flashblock now defaults to ON with rarely an issue noted.

Cam works for me - gang is out working on the diamonds at present.

Sure would be nice if someone on a ladder would clear away the spider web now that the resident is most likely in cold storage...

[tcwright973]

Not ugly, but not something I really wanted to see either. Looking at the radar, it looks like all that white stuff is going to stay north of us here in Pittsburgh.

[blhanel]

Definitely a different picture this morning, either ugly or beautiful depending on your viewpoint...

[Chadyasmith]

Great, work for me anf thank you.

Trains has changed the web site format and when I go to log in to the Rochelle webcam, I am directed to install a new viewer. I get a message:

WATCH LIVE NOW

Start Download

And it wants me to "click a "ADD TO CHROME" button, Then click "add extension". I have NO knowledge what this is and guess I will not be seeing the Rochelle Webcam anymore. Is it safe? I have NO way of knowing. Thanks but NO thanks trains. 

 

 

 

 

That's an ad and not part of the Trains site. I suspect it's malware, too. Cancel out of it and you should be fine.

Of course, it's pitch dark at the site right now, but I do get some lights, using my logon to the site.

Despite of being accused (on another thread) of being privileged, I do not think that I am.

Thank you, Johnny!  I used your link, and it came up fine!  (It's still kind of dark, but that might be because it's about 9:30 p.m.)

What computer/operating system are you using?

I have three, a year old Windows 10 HP desktop and it opens fine in Edge; my wifes Samsung tablet running ANDROID and Chrome and it opens fine; and my older Windows XP laptop that in a older Chrome browser that retuns a black screen. Guess I may have to update the laptop.

[Semper Vaporo]

What computer/operating system are you using?

I am on a PC, running Windows 10, using Internet Explorer 11 and it works just fine like it has for the last few years.

That's interesting; when I want to watch the Rochelle site, I go to http://trn.trains.com/videos/webcams/2014/09/bnsf-and-union-pacific-in-rochelle-il and it comes right up.

Black screen, in Safari, on my MacBookAir (OS X Yosemite, Version 10.10.5).  It used to get this video fine, but I had Ghostery installed to limit the ads and such.  I feel that something I'm blocking now would, if reopened, reveal the picture.  Tech support:  here's the list--does anything look familiar to you?

Looking through the spider webs, I can see the diamonds and the trees are waving at me in the wind.  Rochelle seems to be working for me.  Winders 10, IE-11

I get the I get the Roanoke web cam ok

The two webcams use entirely different protocol to deliver the video, but I don't really know the differences other than knowing they are different.  I'd guess you are missing a CODEC for the Rochelle cam or the URL is somehow blocked by either your computer or your ISP.

Probably not. For the first time in ... forever ... I'm not able to see the Rochelle webcam. Just a black screen with the corner legends. Using the latest Firefox version. Looks like an outage to me.

[Semper Vaporo]

Yep... seems the Roanoke cam is down now... even directly on YouTube it says it is not available.  I don't know if this is because the camera is no longer supported or if maybe just some server is off-line temporarily.

[dh28473]

roanoke web cam won't work either.
