update website address

My 'new' cam was rejected because 'it already exists' but has been missing off the map for days. Been trying for a week now to get this sorted, and it's becoming not worth the effort.

@alphawave7
Following a link for 'already exists' shows my cam has been moved 5 miles away and has been given a new owner. More to sort.

Live stream is on YouTube:

Map has it currently misplaced in Sausalito under a different owner.

@alphawave7 There is no webcam with this URL.
Can you share the URL from Windy?

alphawave7

@Korina Several days have passed, and Youtube again killed the stream at that url after 111 hours, so I assume it is on Youtube's end, since OBS is happily running along after the YT link dies. That is the crux of the problem: I'm unable to quickly correct the url once YT kills the stream. It takes manual correction on your end, after days between failure and possible correction. Windy needs a more proficient way for users to update their own urls, with possibly an admin/moderation team review of content to ensure it meets Windy's webcam rules/goals.

Hello Korina. At the Moment my webcam is still not updated. When will be ?
Thanks

@pier1981
It appears we are on our own, so I'd recommend attempting to delete your existing camera, waiting for a few days for the cam to drop off the map automatically, then re-add your 'new' camera. After another few days, you should get an email that your camera was either added or rejected.

@alphawave7 @pier1981 Please contact our colleagues at webcams[@]windy.com, they will definitely help you with the update of URL.

Hello , ok thanks!

alphawave7

@Ondřej-Šutera Marketa approved my relocation and onwnership of my cam, but since several days have passed the old link originally submitted was dead, killed off by Youtube. I emailed Marketa a new link again, but is there any more efficient way to update the url links? If Youtube is killing off a link about every 3 days, and it takes 2 days to submit and approve a new link, that leaves a day for a link to be live, until it drops off again.

@alphawave7 Hello, it unfortunately happens for the Youtube webcams. What is your YT channel? Sometimes it helps to add channel instead.

@Korina

My YT address is

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCREHff45-0ONfCbFIm8yCyw

When I checked this morning, YT had again killed off the stream around 100 hours, so I simply restarted the stream, and it appears to still be picking up the still frames on Windy despite now using a different url for the stream! I suppose Marketa or someone went ahead and loaded the channel url for me?
Cheers

Korina

@alphawave7 Please send the webcam URL address on Windy or provide the URL, which you submitted.
