@petra-pik Sure, this is the link:

@oavv-segemar Hello, this webcam is already on Windy.com - https://on.windy.com/6hl71

Hi @korina ,
that's the bug. The webcam you say is on this URL:
https://oavv.segemar.gob.ar/show_webcam.php?volcan=LM&sitio=FEAThe new webcam we are trying to submit is:
https://oavv.segemar.gob.ar/show_webcam.php?volcan=CP&sitio=AGSI invite you to check the links and actually see both are different webcams. For some reason Windy is not parsing correctly the URL and thinks both are the same.
Thanks

@oavv-segemar Hello, what are the coordinates of the webcam please?
-
@korina
37°52’55.52” S
71°4’19.23” W -
@korina
Checking Windy, there were another webcams we submitted months ago, and are now gone.Trying to submit them again, I get the same error: "We already process this webcam"
I think there is an URL parsing problem, which makes think Windy the webcam is the same.
URLs are:
https://oavv.segemar.gob.ar/show_webcam.php?volcan=LN&sitio=AAL
https://oavv.segemar.gob.ar/show_webcam.php?volcan=PT&sitio=CF1 -
@oavv-segemar Hello, those stations are visible on Windy -
-
@oavv-segemar Hello again, after a closer look, we are unable to add webcam https://oavv.segemar.gob.ar/show_webcam.php?volcan=CP&sitio=AGS. Don't you, by any chance, have a different URL?
-
@korina No, sorry... we have a single API url to our webcams, which is https://oavv.segemar.gob.ar/show_webcam.php?volcan="Volcano initials"&sitio="Volcano webcam name"
-
@oavv-segemar Then unfortunately adding your webcam is currently not possible.

@Korina Hi, sorry to open an old thread, but we are facing same problem again.
I need to submit a webcam we recently installed in Antarctica, but Windy says it already exists (which is wrong).
Cam URL is:
https://oavv.segemar.gob.ar/show_webcam.php?volcan=ID&sitio=NIDLat: -62.976667
Lon: -60.700878Thanks
-
@Van-Van-5 I don't get it... I want to add a NEW webcam, not remove an existing one.
-
@OAVV-SEGEMAR Yes, we already have this webcam and it's this one - https://www.windy.com/-Webcams/Argentina/Neuquén-Province/Comision-de-Fomento-de-Coyuco-Cochico/webcams/1638033457?cams,no2,-36.209,-83.672,5

@Korina Hi, sorry but it's a different one. The one I am submitting is at latitude 63 South, in Antarctica.
The URL is different too. I don't know why Windy thinks it's the same URL. Maybe some bug into the parsing function?.The URL of the webcam you say:
https://oavv.segemar.gob.ar/show_webcam.php?volcan=LM&sitio=FEAThe NEW URL of the webcam in Antarctica:
https://oavv.segemar.gob.ar/show_webcam.php?volcan=ID&sitio=NIDThanks

@OAVV-SEGEMAR said in Can't submit new webcam:
we can't submit a new webcam. Windy says "We already process this webcam", but it's not true. The cam we are submitting is a new one.
It's definitely frustrating when Windy rejects your webcam submission with an inaccurate message. Here are some steps you can take to resolve the issue
URL Accuracy: Ensure the submitted URL points directly to the latest image snapshot of your webcam, not a website homepage or video stream.
