Webcam plugin v.0.7.0
|
This my first released of the Webcam plugin. It shows webcams from around the world on MVP. The plugin comes preloaded with a short number of webcams. You can directly edit webcams.xml in the plugin directory to add more webcams.
A small update... v.0.7.1 Added support for animated gifs

How can I point to my own webcam on my PC. Is there a URL to access it?

Looks like you can add them to the webcams.xml file, if you have a URL for it.

These are still images right? I would love to get this working with video. I want to be able to do video conferencing in front of my tv.

I like it! Works good, easy to skin.
Now I can see traffic before I have to drive through it, much easier than opening a browser page. Any possibility of having it update the picture automatically (autorefresh)?
You can never have enough tuners!

Name item is the title and url item is the picture in the GB-PVR.

Very Nice! That is one of the things I was missing. I was able to do that with the MVP with the Media.html mod. Now if it could display animated gifs...
The MVP can play them, or hauppauge's software can, I had this on my MVP before I went to GBPVR. http://images.ibsys.com/sh/images/weathe...40x480.gif It does show up with the webcam plugin, it just doesn't cycle. Great plugin, thanks alot!

so I found this package thats starts the webcam server locally.
http://www.dnzone.com/ShowDetail.asp?NewsId=224 I guess what I am trying to do is setup a personal web cam so I can see the user on my gbpvr when I talk to them. This is ftp server with usersname and password. The other thing we would need is an option to lower the refresh since it would only be 1 user at a time. Are you going to publish the source?

You can use WIndows XP powertoy- Timershot to publish a shot at your custom interval to an ftp site. Easy! This is a GREAT plugin. My wife even loves it. We found webcams for some of our favorite places and voila! there they are on the ol' TV. Thank you! |
