nick Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Here is the story as of now. I have set up a subdomain on my website for a live streaming webcam. I have downloaded Windows Media Encoder and I believe I have done everything correctly in the script on the page. Here it is as of now. http://nickcam.bordumb.com I guess I am a little confused and frustrated on why I am unable to connect to anything. I will post what I have as of now. Here is the script on the index page: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>www.bordumb.com</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#000033"><div align="center"> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.bordumb.com"><img src="../bordumblogo.jpg" width="800" height="82" border="0"></a> <p align="center"><img src="nickcam.jpg" width="288" height="36"> <p align="center"> <p align="center"><font color="#000066" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><em><strong>Coming Soon </strong></em></font> <p align="center"><br> <!--- BEGIN PLAYER ---> <!-- webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan ----> <object ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..."

I cant seem to connect with Windows Media Encoder either. Is there anything you see wrong in this script at all? Perhaps I have som settings wrong in Media Encoder? Can anyone see what I am doing wrong? Quote
nick Posted August 28, 2004 Author Posted August 28, 2004 While i'm even asking, perhaps you know of a much easier way to go about doing this? while still having the same layout I have? Quote
borfast Posted August 28, 2004 Posted August 28, 2004 Nick, I don't know how to do what you want, sorry But I'm sure someone here at the forums will know what to do and will help you out Quote
nick Posted August 28, 2004 Author Posted August 28, 2004 I hope someone can help. It's really irking me that I cant do this. I would like to find an answer/solution. I have searched google high and low and many other tech forums. I think perhaps the port numbers are wrong? Maybe i'm going about all of this wrong. Perhaps there is an easier way Quote
LisaJill Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 I used webcamxp for this on windows, and use evocam for this on my powerbook. I don't think you can use ASX files on TCH though I could be wrong. Not sure how to do it the way you are describing though, I'm sorry. Quote
nick Posted August 29, 2004 Author Posted August 29, 2004 I am downloading webcamXP right now... Is it possible to use this and have it on that web page I have set up? Quote
LisaJill Posted August 29, 2004 Posted August 29, 2004 (edited) yes, absolutely. Pretty easily - you can get the code from the program for a flash object (what I used) javascript or java applet. =) edit: to do this you'll need to open up a port to your actual pc, webcam acts as a webserver to allow this - this is the same for any webcam streaming that I know of, other than ftp snapshots =) Edited August 29, 2004 by TCH-Lisa Quote
nick Posted August 29, 2004 Author Posted August 29, 2004 hmmm how do I go about opening up this port? Quote
nick Posted August 29, 2004 Author Posted August 29, 2004 okay I kind of just Hijacked my own thead here. I got the program up and running now. What steps do I need to take to get it on this website if you dont mind sharing? You said I need to put it into a flash file? Or link it somehow and open up a port? How do I go about doing all of this? I use dreamweaver XP and I have all the other programs as well. EDIT: Okay I just hit Generate HTML code for my site... this is what i got <applet codebase="http://24.160.229.116:8080/" code="b.class" archive="classes.jar" name="b" width="320" height="240" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="top" refresh="15" filename="cam_1.jpg"></applet> Quote
nick Posted August 29, 2004 Author Posted August 29, 2004 HAH! I got it to work! thanks for the help. Great program Quote
