Foxfire also has frozen. All 3 cams froze at 9:54 MDT which means we do not have the departure of train 216. At a loss now as to what is happening since we have tried Edge, which is the worst, Chrome, which was periodic freezes, and now Foxfire, which has frozen yesterday and today. Luckily yesterday was after departure. Note from time stamps on grabs, the freeze was 90 minutes after I started the recording with Bandicam.

2018-08-03 Its hard to see, but the white dot in the tender bunker is someone shovling the coal forward because there was hardly any left when the 488 came into the yard.jpg
In the parlance of a car, they were running on fumes.

Makes me wonder, since the locomotives used to come into Chama with close to half a load of coal, are they now running round trip on what is put in at Chama before the cycle begins?

Regarding freezes, since all 3 browsers have frozen at some point could it be the bandicam software which is causing the problem? Perhaps memory cache?

I'm also questioning the browser choice as I'm quite sure there was at least one day in the last week or two when Sharon reported a freeze and I watched the departure live. And, actually, other than a 15-second pause yesterday afternoon, I haven't observed many freezes at all recently. I use Chrome exclusively for the webcams. I do find that I need to clear the "cached images and files" regularly if I want to see the DoT cameras refreshing properly (when they don't just plain freeze for a day or three).

Its hard to say since I am using a feed that does not have any time limit in it. Since I need Bandicam to record the stills and video it hard to say how to go. Saturday everything was fine no failing of the recording. If really is a random thing these freezes.
