Right. You made it clear that you were starting with MJPEG. That's why I suggested using VLC to transcode it in real time to MPEG2, which can then be directly consumed by the MVP. I haven't used VLC myself, so I'm not sure on the specifics of how you would hook it up to the loopback device providing MJPEG, how you specify what formats you want it to output, and how you would access it from the MVP, but I believe it is theoretically possible with the existing mvpmc client. Hopefully others familiar with VLC can fill in the blanks. If you don't get any responses, you might want to try asking on the developer list. > motion can send an event when it detects a movement.

Once you saw a message, you'd have to stop what you were viewing, and navigate to the part of the UI where you can access the camera's stream. This could be used as a stop-gap way to inform you of activity until a more integrated solution is built. -Tom ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
