Title: Webcam as TV channel?
Post by: Living Dead on June 14, 2003, 11:47:13 am

I've noticed that when doing a channel scan MC9 picks up on my webcam and reports one channel found.  It also shows the feed from the webcam at this point.  Unfortunately it will not let me add it as a channel.  If I could add it, then I suppose I could record from it just like from a TV channel.  This would be cool b/c the software that comes with the cam is pretty clunky.  It seems to me that it wouldn't take much to allow it to be added as a channel or something since it is basically working already at some level.  (I don't mean that to sound denigrating to the programming effort in any way...)
Maybe there is already a way to do this?

it would also be nice if this web cam could be streamed using media server.

this way I can watch whats going on in the living room or watch whats going on in my house when I am at work.
