I was able to find a work-around for the problem of the camera capture software: After the porting of the software to the "new" computer it sometimes went into a state where the DirectX camera preview just stopped. This did not manifest itself as an error, but instead the software kept running as if nothing had happened - and kept uploading the image that had last been captured ok. Only a restart of the software helped - so I programmed into the software an automatic restart at midnight.
This seems to work - I noticed yesterday that the image had again been frozen; now, however, the image is being updated ok.
Is not an ideal fix - I would like to explore what the true reason for this error is... but at least for now the camera capture works as intended.

Get it working :)
Problem now over the Easter holiday: the server and some of the IT systems at Leed Met have been shut down.
Therefore, only the late night image from Thursday night is still visible here...
The webcam will be up and running again on Tuesday, 6.April 2010.
