Windy webcams updates, changes and quality of life improvements.
-
Recently windy webcams just had its biggest updates changes out of the blue on Thursday 13th of November at 12:00pm UTC time. Best update yet since the integration between webcams.travel and lookr.com back in December 2019 into the larger Windy.com platform where both websites redirect the link to the Windy.com/webcams page.
List of changes and bug fixes:
All webcam upload interval times are now back to 10 minutes under the new system (formerly webcams.travel and lookr.com upload interval times). Previous it was 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 1 hour since December 2019 when webcams.travel and lookr.com merge all projects into Windy.com/webcams page.
The last 24 hours ago timelapse slideshows caps at 25 images rather than the last 24 hours (if the image is more than 2 days ago, it will not load) under the new system.
The last 30 days ago timelapse slideshows has not changed but now caps at recent 35 days (tbc) under the new system.
The last 12 months ago timelapse slideshows has not changed but now shows the recent 16 months (tbc) under the new system.
The Lifetime timelapse slideshows had a major changed, previous it was every 3 months window from the old webcams.travel and lookr.com, now under the new system, it’s now every month. The lifetime new system currently only shows all available images upload back to as far as March 2023 while the former old webcams.travel and lookr.com shows all available images upload back to as far as February 2014 when webcams.travel and lookr.com added the last 30 days, 12 months and lifetime back in mid 2013. Currently you can no longer view the former Lifetime timelapse slideshows old system which dates back to as far as February 2014. More available archive images under the new system before March 2023 maybe added in the future.
The filter by category options under all webcams has also changed.
Fixed the bug where nighttime webcams were not uploading to windy while the domain stream (m3u8) link and images link (including text link) are still online normally which occurred since Friday 18th of February 2022.
Removed repeated names views on windy webcam title. The repeated view names will be merged to just the one name.
End of support to the YouTube domain webcams, users will need to find an alternative domain to keep their webcams online on Windy. I’m not sure when YouTube domain webcams will be available again to Windy but most likely it won’t happen again in the future until further notice.
