Can't submit new webcam
-
@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.
