can't reach yawcam (by http) with service, no problem with GUI

[mfran2002]

Hi all,
I go soon to explain better:

I have installed yawcam on my laptop and if I run the user interface everything goes fine.
mainly I can reach my camera by http and stream perfectly

If I install the service and then (after the closure of the user interface) I start that service, I can't reach the camera anymore (http and stream).

really weird, since I have no problem with THE SAME settings, on another laptop

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the service and the whole app from the scratch, without success...

what can I do?
thanks

Hello, I have the same problem since 01/10/22. Yawcam no longer started when Windows 10 started and could no longer be reached via the stream. I reinstalled 6.2 and tried 7 as well. I also checked NOIP. everything OK. But yawcam doesn't work.

Please make sure that Yawcam is allowed in the firewall.
When Yawcam runs with GUI it uses javaw.exe, but when it runs as a service it uses Yawcam_service.exe.

Hi Malun,
you hit the jackpot!

it was the firewall, at least for me!

thanks!
