How to make a database of updatable web images

Postby edgley on Sun Apr 25, 2004 12:42 pm

Ok, me and Colby were playing at this last night.

We used the musicviewer as the guide to what we are trying to do, but we were looking at replacing the albums with a list of https of web cams

We got as far as making the db and accessing it okay from a new screen, BUT

We could not get it to update the images. By putting a still picture of the web cam in the skin directory and linking it to coverart in the db we could get a picture.

I have added a browser refresh button but it doesnt seem to do it.

By looking at the xml weatherwebcams, it seems to work because it uses the image of the button as the web cam link.

The easiest way that I can see to do this is to allow coverart to support http calls.
