Sure, you can stream webcam on windows if you have a dshow compatible driver (most webcams do) or on linux if you have a v4l or v4l2 compatible dirver (all webcams do).

Cheers,

Thanks for your help!

I can view the contents in VLC Media Player, but not in browser! I think the VLC don't send the signal to the browser! I have tried the wizard from the VLC Player, DOS Command line, but nothing!...

In IE 7, for sample, I don't have a error, but he don't appears anything:

In Firefox 3 I Have the message no video:

I want make a stream in a PC where the input, and outputs are located in the same machine? I supose it's easy, but I can see anything in the diferents browsers!

I have an IP in my machine like 192.17.15.16 (is not that IP, it's a sample), with the IIS active. When I open the browser the URL is http://127.0.0.1/name_of_the_page.htm

The code in page html I use, is very sample:

Code: Select all

<html>
<title>VLC Mozilla plugin test page</title>
<body>
<embed type="application/x-vlc-plugin" pluginspage="http://www.videolan.org" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2"
    width="640"
    height="480"
    id="vlc">
</embed>
<script language="Javascript">
<!--
var vlc = document.getElementById("vlc");
//vlc.audio.toggleMute();
!-->
</script>
</body>
</html>

A note: If i active the line with the code:

Code: Select all

vlc.audio.toggleMute();

, I have a warning message: vlc.audio is null or is not a objet

VLC configuration:

VLC working (I have image, but when I Do PrintScrn, copies an image with black background):

VLC DirectShow configuration:

VLC Advanced options -> Stream/Save Settings...:

VLC Advanced options...:

SO: Windows XP SP2
Input stream: Logitech WebCam messenger
Output stream: Web browser - IE 7, Firefox 3 ou Opera 9

Probably, is a stupid problem, mas i don't see the solution! If you need more information, please says!
