Viewcam instant replay

Hi - I am a long term SS user but wish to run Viewcam specifically with instant replay. I am running the trial, have an IP camera on screen and all seems fine. I have enabled Instant replay with 10 seconds buffer. I right click the camera feed and "Start Instant Replay" - the camera screen then freezes and I don't see a yellow progress bar to allow me to review the replay media. Cmd+scroll is also inactive. If I save the replay as a buffer movie I can then play it correctly in Quicktime, longer than the 10 seconds.

Can you steer me to where i am going wrong? How can I replay the the last 10-15 seconds of the live feed and then resume viewing it live?

    The first thing to check is that you are using the latest 1.1 version of ViewCam, available from the App Store on your Mac.

    Next, make sure the option to "Show camera information" is turned ON under Preferences > General.

    Then, what happens when you hold the Command key and scroll left while hovering your mouse over the live video for a particular camera? What should happen is that you see the yellow bar at the top, and Command-scrolling left and right should give you playback of the last chunk of video. If this not what you see, then you could be running into a bug (albeit not one that we can reproduce, nor is being reported by other users) - in this case, please email us at support@bensoftware.com and include a screenshot that shows what you see when the instant replay has been activated.
