Glastocam!

[Ponyegg]

It would be great to get a Cam playback after the festival so I can see everyone arriving and setting up on the Wednesday

 

I'm grabbing all images and archiving them off at the moment,

I'll eave my script running over the week if it's still up, in the past they've turned it off though,

but this is the new cam so maybe they'll keep it up?

Isn't the Arc Bar a stage used by smaller festivals as a main stage?

 

At Beach Break the main stage there was the same as the Arc Bar, bit ott but cool.

Excellent thanks, I would resume they'd switch it off during the festival but at least it might run up to Wednesday, hopefully until the end of the day.

Isn't it the same as the BBC introducing stage at Reading & Leeds too?

I think we are right.

[The Placid Casual]

Yep

I miss Beach Break. It was shite & great at the same time.

In the middle image the bins look like some sort of boat that the guy on a chair is sitting in.

What setup have you used for this? I'm also saving images for a timelapse and have gone for 10minute intervals.

Is it automated? I'm rubbish at computers so had to go the manual way!

 

I'm doing this at quite a low level using PHP (programming langueg) & the Crontab 9a method to automatically run programs ever N mins/hours/days/months etc)

The filename of the image that displays changes every 5mins, my script simply picks up the latest file and saves it.

 

Filenames look like this:

https://panodata2.panomax.com/cams/879/2015/06/18/21-40-00_default.jpg

and so on.

NB: not every 5min slot has a file, it's about once an hour during the nightime:

I'm sure there are plenty of plugins and tools out there that would work in conjunction with

your browser, I've done my way as I wanted to have one of my servers do this instead of

one of my desktops/laptops.

Great idea. I wanted to do this but had no idea how to implement it so went for the laborious method!

Never underestimate the power of regular expressions

It'll be a one-line program I'd wager

A regular expression wouldn't do that!  Now a PERL script...

Can't post a picture but on the bbc Web cam a big crane is about to lift what looks like a giant clock onto the top of the pyramid.

Lots of other things going on aswell.

On second viewing it could be a compass

Good spot, must have a look.

[ghostdancer1]

looks like a peace symbol compass

Are there horns on the Other Stage?

[jon10x]

Guessing it will turn into the RAF MOD symbol during the who's set. Otherwise it could be to hypnotise people to thinking Kanye is after all a musical genius

its my first time to glastonbury and loving seeing the build and changed daily, is there any chance someone could take the picture and highlight what each tent/area/camping field is. Particularly pennards hill and oxlayers as that is where i am looking to camp

[tweed1981]

They could be, or could be antlers, there is a snap on the official site and it looks like a giant antler on the ground

[blackg1000]

Can anyone else see the horse in the clouds?

Just been on site, Dee will put pictures up of the front ornament of the Other soon.  The front ornament of the Pyramid appears to be a large clock type thing and 2 wings.  It was all laid on the ground and I couldn't get a clear picture.  The guys were putting the fixings up so it may well be visible on the camera by now.
