EXTERNAL: [Geysers] Mac Streaming Cam Issues

[Freund, Udo]

I've had similar issues with my PC.  I can no longer access the cam in any browser.  But I can open up Media Player and tell it to open file URL . . .  You can get the URL from the browser window by right clicking the black screen where the cam doesn't display then copy / paste it.  Others may have different solutions.  I'd like to hear them all.

Thanks,
Udo Freund

Subject: EXTERNAL: [Geysers] Mac Streaming Cam Issues

Hello.
After merrily moving along watching the webcam for years with Windows Media Player, something happened recently and I can no longer access the camera by that method. I just get a blank screen that says "waiting."

I followed all the instructions on the NPS site about it, downloaded Flip4Mac, installed it, opened Quicktime, and it worked for about one day. Now I can no longer access the streaming cam by that method either.

This is the URL I have for the streaming cam:
http://npslivewm.fplive.net/npslive-live/Yellowstone

Is that incorrect? It is the one that worked fine for a day, then quit, and now it hangs up Quicktime so that I have to force quit the program.

Any Mac folks out there that can help, please? It would be most appreciated! At work, I am OS 10.5.8 (Leopard) and at home my system is newer, Snow Leopard. Can't get it to work under either system.
Thanks.
Pat Snyder
