The webcam xml files contain the following types of entry:

<saveto path="c:\mvptest3\webcams" />

Each file needs the above line as first entry, it specifies the path that the webcam images are to be saved to

<webcam title="Mt St Helens" url="http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/volcanocams/msh/images/mshvolcanocam.jpg" filename="mshvolcanocam.jpg" interval="45" />

title= is the title of the webcam, url= is the url of the webcam image, filename= is the name to save the image as, interval= is the number of seconds between updates

 <webcam title="Mawson Antartica" page="http://www.aad.gov.au/asset/webcams/mawson/default.asp" head="img src=&#34;small/M" tail="s.jpg" trimleft="15" trimright="" url="http://www.aad.gov.au/asset/webcams/mawson/small/" filename="Antartic Mawson Station.jpg" interval="45" />

The above is a more complicated version, for where a direct url for the image is unavailable
