Webcam support

[jorm]

Is there any interest in webcam functionality on the gbpvr.

Functionality would include

Connect to a local webcam and stream video frames to the TV/PC. No audio.
Can be used for home security system. Eventually with multiple webcam support. GBPVR seems to be calling render at most 2 or 3 times a second.

Eventually Video Conferencing again no audio (at least not for mvp users). Via the internet.

yes! i would love this, but you probably already know this, since i requested it a few times .

if you need a bug tester im all yours.

I will need a tester. And maybe even someone to run ideas though. I will send you an alpha tomorrow. It only runs locally for now if you have a web cam attached to the machine. The code is pretty easy, obviously there are bugs but it proves the idea and you can take a look at the code..

Do you know if sub exposes his windows handle at all? it would simplify things.

Jorm check this article out it:

You should be able to get the handle by the app name.

I too would love this functionality!

I would as well.. My Axis 205 streams MJPEG so if you need a tester let me know.
