Topic: Princess Cruises Cam

This widget worked for many many years but is now broken.  Any chance of getting it fixed?

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

Have you tried asking the author?

And if the author does reply, but tells you he/she is unable to edit the widget, please also ask if they don't mind someone else updating it? (I've decompiled the widget and I know why it's no longer working and should be able to fix it).

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

I just sent the author a repair request.

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

If you don't get a response, please let us know, and perhaps quizengine can share the solution with me and I can build a replacement.

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

Frame 1, layer 1 contains the code. Lines 41-56 list 15 urls to the webcam images. For example, the url in line 41 is
http://webcam.princess.com/webcam/caribbean_bridge.jpg

Problem is (as you'll see if you paste that url in a browser) that these urls have been changed on the princess.com website. For example, the new url for the Caribbean bridge is
http://www.princess.com/webcam/caribbean_bridge.jpg

So, the urls need to be changed and the swf republished. You can see all of the cam images at http://www.princess.com/bridgecams/ - if you right click each cam name, and 'open link in new tab', you'll get all of the new urls.

Let me know if you want the decompiled fla.

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

The developer has uploaded a new version of his widget. However, it doesn't show up on my chumby. Does it need reviewing?

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

Yes, I've approved it, so it should be publicly available.

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

Is the new version working for anyone?  I am stuck at "still loading"

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

Working for me...

Have you tried rebooting your Chumby?

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

Yeah, you'll need to reboot, or manually refresh the channel, so the device knows to load the new version of the widget.

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

I am not sure why but after refreshing, rebooting, deleting, and re-adding, the widget still stops at "loading data".  This happens at home on my chumby one and at work on my chumby 8.

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

OK, I noticed this widget works on my chumby 8 but not chumby one.  Weird...

Re: Princess Cruises Cam

I just noticed that this widget is now working on all my devices.  Thanks to everyone involved.
