Dynamic Labels

Post by limeyb**tard » Sun Nov 04, 2012 1:46 pm

DP Designer v2.117, iPad3
I am trying to ad dynamic content from an IP camera and understand the concept of the dynamic label however the content only seems to be displayed if the remote source is a .png file and not a .jpg or .mjpeg. Does anyone know if this is a limitation of the software or am i doing something stupid. I am using the following for testing...

http://70.182.130.71:1024/img/video.mjpeg (not displayed)
http://pixelcaster.com/yosemite/webcams/turtleback.jpg (not displayed)
https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo3w.png (displays fine)

Any help appreciated

The .mjpeg won't work, but both the JPG and the PNG links work for us on a test project - suggest you email [email protected] with a copy of your project .pad file if you cannot get the .jpg to work.

understood - suggest you use a webview object - (Safari browser running in a small window within the GUI...)
