Web Cams plugin for NextPVR

[McBainUK]

Anyone interested in testing a NextPVR port of my old GB-PVR Web Cams plugin?

I'd be happy to give it a go.

Likewise - I don't use it constantly, but it is damn handy when it is needed.

Got live streaming working yet ??

Plugin installer (zip) added to the first post.

Static web cam images only for now.

You guys had a play with it yet? Any thoughts?

[imilne]

Apologies, no. I've just been too busy with day job stuff (day and night) recently. I *will* give it a go though!

Well, seeing as I seem to have broken everything (at work) I've touched today, I thought I'd try my luck with this after all...

But I can't seem to suss out how to add anything? I haven't broken this as well have I!? :eek:

Right click on "default" and choose "Add Web Cam".

[imilne]

Sigh, I must have clicked and right-clicked everywhere *but* there.

Well, it seems to run ok. I now have a lovely view of Durham Cathedral (the first jpg webcam google found me ).

Comments (all minor):
- It might be worth having it reloading its settings after tweaking, rather than having to restart NPVR.
- Can you get it to remember the list type between sessions?
- Is the Mode button meant to do anything?

Oops, managed to get this on an attempt to add another cam:

Code:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

   at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam)

It's happening every time I try to left click back on the default node.

There's also some messages in the logs that might interest you:

Code:

2011-08-04 15:49:30.208    [ERROR][13]    WebCams Plugin: Could not download WebCam image "http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/webcams/thirdparty/cathedral2.jpg"
cb7-7de7d43d2ffc' because it is being used by another process.

Guess I haven't lost my touch after all....

I am keeping quiet as I only gave it a quick try and didn't have a lot of luck. But I'm away most of the time and didn't want to mention any problems as I haven't been able to give it any time to sort out any mistakes that I may have caused.
(1) just a white screen when selecting my IP security camera and
(2) Unhandled exception when trying to delete it and add the squirrel-cam

As I say, I won't be able to do much until the weekend .
