hiya all
i've been looking to get this working ever since i bought my $10 webcam last night
and here it is
goto http://www.tincam.com/help/setupvideostreaming.php
to download tincan a nice little app designed for very easy setup and video streaming
firstly make sure your network is all running(make sure u can ftp to your xbox first) and u must have access to an .strm file with this inside:
[playlist]
numberofentries=1
file1=mms://192.168.1.1:8080
title1=pc webcam
length1=-1
where 192.168.1.1 is the ip of your pc's ethernet card...
now this is local streaming so go nuts and really boost up the resolution, framerate and audio quality to get some nice streaming...
now to setup tin can is quite easy...
u can run the setup wizard...which has mostly extra stuff like "capturing video to file", "capture picture to file" ..which isnt really what we want ..but u might like to experiment...but u need to select your webcam here
now under the setup menu item..u can adjust almost anything: video and audio compression ..just leave as uncompressed for now and make sure the "record audio" box is checked
under video devices select your webcam and select your audio card (which has a recording feature i hope here u can increase the resolution and compression quality to make it sharper
now under video streaming choose the fastest connection type and unclick the "auto detect" and put you computer's ip address here-------if you use your webcam online..then use auto detect instead
remember your port and ipaddress for later
save your setting by hitting ok
now go back to the main screen and you should see a box of your webcam's output...
not too shabby
go to capture, video-streaming or ctrl+v ...this will start your stream to whoever want to view it
now in an .strm file paste this:
[playlist]
numberofentries=1
file1=mms://192.168.1.1:8080
title1=pc webcam
length1=-1
the stream will be about 5 seconds behind ..but thats cool
if u manage to not get a stream then u are doing something wrong..like u have your firewall up on port 8080 or sumfin
so far i have found not 1 video program which will look up that url...however u already have the box in tin can ..so it dont matter that much
thanks for reading my ramblings...this post could have been a lot shorter..but there we are...
peace out
