Live Video w/Audio From F-Town
Wasn't sure if anyone has seen this or not, but looks like Mike has a live video feed in the works for F-Town with audio too.

Re: Live Video w/Audio From F-Town
Hello Everyone...
Hope your enjoying the feed. I hope to have the Mic fixed (There are two mic's for stereo audio Right Channel is bad)and make a few ajustments in two weeks. So please enjoy the feed and it will get better when I replace the bad Mic and make a few ajustments to the camera.

Great feed, but word spreads fast. Tried to watch it this morning, and every time there was already the maximum number of people watching.

Re: Live Video w/Audio From F-Town
I am sorry about that I am working to get that lifted. Might be a few days before it's lifted.
I had to have it up to get that lifted.

Re: Live Video w/Audio From F-Town
The webcam for Fostoria is now offline, likely permanently until a new site is found. Appears the owner at The Rail pulled the plug on the DSL feed that the video camera used.

Re: Live Video w/Audio From F-Town
Not only has the video feed been pulled but so has the scanner feed even though the scanner/antenna are located at the Fostoria Rail Preservation Society building (the LE&W depot). Perhaps the streaming software was at The Rail as well.
I know all summer it had problems with reception since the antenna had been moved inside due to the depot getting a new roof and never got put back up when the work was completed.
