Re: What info to enter for Weather Underground link

Has anyone got Blue Iris successfully uploading via FTP to WU at the moment?
I've tried and tried every combination of the settings in BI and have never been able to see a camera image on the WU dashboard.

Does anyone know who to interrupt the 'Profile' choice on this dialog? Is it "on" if the profile number is 'grey' or 'colour'?

I think it's "on" if it's in color.

Thanks for confirming that.

I have logged a support request with WU, so lets see if they respond.

Has anyone received an update to the Weather Underground Web cam Blue Iris V5 Ftp Sever connection.
I also have a Successful connection on Blue Iris V5 FTP Server Connection, to Weather Underground.
But Weather Underground states OFFLINE???

Any Help Appreciated.

I have successfully uploaded images to the Weather Underground web cam FTP site with V5. I can't say it's worked smoothly though.

Blue Iris shows that it is uploading images but many do not show up on Weather Underground and I can't figure out the pattern.

My weather station website is: OakvilleWx.com which shows the most recent image from Weather Underground.

https://www.wunderground.com/dashboard/pws/KMOOAKVI6 is the station's site on Weather Underground and the most recent image is always at this url: https://icons.wunderground.com/webcamra ... urrent.jpg

I've played around with increasing and decreasing the frequency and size of image but it's still hit or miss.

Can you please show us your BI V5 settings so we can compare?

Sorry, I missed your request. Here's what I have for FTP:

Is there a trick to getting images in-line?

I've not had a problem with those same settings, I recently cloned my weather camera and setup an FTP connection to ambientweather.net for my weather stations camera there as well so that camera is sending updates to both FTP servers frequently.
