Hi all.
I have been working on a web cam server, that will publish images captured
every say 5 seoncds or so from my video camera, via one means or another.
I have it basically working, BUT the problem I have is, I really need to
have a way of showing the image, and having it refresh on the webpage where
is it displayed.
I started to use the META REFRESH tab in HTML, BUT the problem is that it
locks the image file, and I can save the latest image to the same file name
..etc. etc. etc.
So I decided to go down the track of renaming and copying the image file by
addin an incrementing number to the end of the file name, then righting that
numbewr to an SQL server database (for file shareing issues again), and then
every 10 or so images it deletes the files it can, the one it cant is obv.
the latest file, and therefore in use....
Now this does work ok, BUT the problem is, its a bit messy.....cand fraught
with potentiol problems.
Can anyone suggest a good way to do what I am doing ?
Most web cam stuff I have seen uses a Java class, but I dont know java well
enought to write something....
Thanks,
