Hi there everyone, Worldview is a terrific app, I love it :)

I want to add the Download Festival webcam from this link to Worldview

http://static.livenation.co.uk/downloadfestival/2009/webcam/getimag...

The image refreshes every 60 seconds and has a filename that increases by one.

E.G. the link for one image is http://static.downloadfestival.tv/webcam/img/image11428.jpg
After 60 seconds this changes to image11429.jpg

Is it possible for WorldView to support this type of name changing webcam?

Thanks in advance,

   Hi,

   this is sadly not possible. There are lots of webcams using somehow incremental or changing filenames for new images, but it is either hard to find the algorithm, hard to create a UI for the user or these webcams simply are not allowed to be viewed outside of their own website.

   If you are interested in the specific issues that makes the webcam you mentioned impossible to implement, please let me know and I'll try to explain in more detail.

   Best,
   Andreas
