SlothCam

The developer, Jackson Myers, after getting more details of the problem from me, sent a newer version to test. It fixed the problem I was having, and he'll release it as version 3.2 I'm raising the overall rating to 4 stars. I misses the 5-th star only because the configuration options on the back pane (and the UI*) aren't as self-explanatory as they could be, and "Reset Preferences" gives no warning that you'll lose all the URLs you've added to the list of webcams. * For example, did you know that left- and right-arrow will advance the image to the previous/next camera on your list? I haven't seen it documented anywhere and only discovered it by chance!

Auto cycle isn't working for me (ver. 3.1 on Snow Leopard 10.6.6). I see the caption bar turn red to indicate the image is updating, and it stays stuck there forever.

I just wanted to let everybody know that there is now an iOS version of SlothCam for iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. You can find it on the iTunes App Store, or find more info at http://www.jackson-myers.com

I Agree with the Developer.It is NOT his fault.EarthCam owns the Friday's WebCam and the Vegas one. But the Dashboard App works well so I was wrong and I am giving it 5Stars because it does what it is supposed to do!

OK I admit for what it is (Free) It is Ok but it is missing The cams I liked the best and that I think were popular with a lot of users, Friday's WebCam,Las Vegas wedding Chapel which had some interesting moments.I think that EarthCam as the author stated pulled out these. I guess they wanted MONEY!

Obviously you can no longer watch Web Cams provided by this widget in Dashboard, This widget is now useless and should be removed!

WTF!!!! This thing is totally messed up!

The only way I could see that happening would be if the image file is large enough to take up that kind of bandwidth even though Slothcam is only requesting the image once per minute.

i cannot understand how does the widget use my internet traffic. i set one webcam to update every 1 minute but it comsumes 250kB every second it works...

The only reason I downloaded this was to have the paris webcam and it hasnt worked since. Is there something that can be done??

I really like this, and will continue to use it, but it's a memory hog...

SlothCam is great, although it is not really true that it is the only customizable webcam widget; the 4webcams/9webcams/16webcams widgets are user-defined as well. But SlothCam works great for a single cam.

thank you and mary xmas.

It it possible for SlothCam to view animated gifs? I'm trying to get it to show http://sirocco.accuweather.com/nx_mosaic_640x480c/SIR/inmaSIRIL_.gif. Thanks!

This is great. A widget that's actually useful since my friends use it to monitor their kids at various day care centers with the tap of a button. I'd like to see one tiny feature added though, when you mouse over the image a small left pointing arrow would appear letting you flip back 10 or so images to see what's happened that you've missed. Maybe have this number user definable.

Great fun, but I don't much like the icon of a sloth in a che guevara hat.

I can't get SlothCam to save any "Caption" setting other than the default. I set it then log out and when I log back in it reverts to the default setting. Oher than that its a great widget.

OMG give yourself a pat on th back. best widget of the all.

This is literally one of the best written and certainly best supported widgets out there period. I'm stunned at how fast and well the developer listens to his reviews and comments!

This is my window to the world... thnx
