BlackHole2006 Posted April 20, 2015 Report Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hey guys Not sure if I missed a thread or not, been ages since I've posted here. A big part of the build up for me is watching the Glastonbury Webcam. I was just wandering when the webcams are gonna be starting up again, or if there are any dotted about on the internet? I have checked but there all out of date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBalls Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 so where did you read that ? what they wrote https://twitter.com/bbcglasto/status/589116829391581185 ' Webcam fans!

I think perhaps someone on here sent them a tweet or DM or something and they responded saying there was improvements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartbert two hats Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think perhaps someone on here sent them a tweet or DM or something and they responded saying there was improvements. I think glasto-worker is correct, that's all they said. However they say the old cam isn't coming back and that exciting things are coming, I'm taking that as a pretty strong indicator that a better one is on the way. Still I'm sure we they said something similar a few years ago and all that turned up was a new website that nobody wanted with the same old crappy webcam!

Splatt Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Looks like a new panoramic webcam is on the way. Check out BBC Glasto Twitter a/c. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 They've put some photos up on the @bbcglasto feed. Here's some bloke with the new cam. Like others have said, it looks panoramic which can only be a great thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Sorry, Joey! But on the positive side, they're clearly at the farm installing whatever they've got. It can't be long now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 R.I.P ten year old cam. You kept me in daily anticipation for many years. Hope the new cam screenshots are HD and bigger that the example above and show the whole valley - not just sections of it. Still got the screenshot gadget on my desktop though I doubt if this will work with the new system. Jizzing myself with excitement....

stuartbert two hats Posted April 30, 2015 Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Mhmm if its still just images , that they upload to the same URL, it could!I'd be very surprised if it's exactly the same url. The old cam had three positions, this looks to be a much wider one, so there won't be a Jp, Greenfields and Pyramid URL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Does seem to be only one slot on the case though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
