However, as Chris Hill pointed out, I am only seeing the still image. I don't even see the link for a video stream. Some but not all of the different hiway cams have live video streams, and you can tell which ones just by clicking on the various camera icons. The ones with live video streams provide a link for the live viedo at the top of the little box that pops up when you click on the little camera icon for that particular camera. The ones nead Sacramento, and on up 80 and 50 into the Sierras generally seem to have the video links, but a lot of the others don't seem to have that. Anyway, I'm running 8.2-RELEASE, and I'm still not shure why the video doesn't work for me. Bad luck I guess. Somewhere there is an evil bitGod who doesn't like me. :-) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Granted there wasn't a whole lot to see, since it was after dark, but the image did show several vehicles' headlights -- it was not just a black rectangle. Right, but that's a still image, a screenshot. Above that is a link labeled go to live camera - when you click on that, do you see live motion video? What I see is mplayer-plugin starting, then buffering, then a blue rectangle.
