I don't want to detract from the issues around media stuff (they are significant), but if you are desperate (as I was), here's some code for doing video capture and streaming based on LTI-CIVIL and writing to JFX image to render the video:
- https://code.google.com/p/jfxcamera/ It's a work around and not elegant at all, and media needs to have a lot done to be useful. I only include it here in case there is something useful you can take from it to hobble through.
