I think this is a very addictive addon Smile

There are some cams that are online and live, others that just play archived content and a few of them that show still photos but no video.

But HD cams are very impressive!

In the newest GIT build of Frodo the plugin is not working for me anymore. Before it worked, but it didn't report the proper FPS which made the stream not very smooth.

So xbmc.log when I open the plugin and select a category, with an error as result:

Wow excellent! I really like it very much! The only problem I'm having is that I can only play the 'feature cams'.

'USA' and 'Worldwide' categories display an empty list of cities and countries, there are no webcams to choose. Is this a known problem?
TIA
