For anyone out there who uses ZoneMinder, I've created an addon that allows you to connect to a ZoneMinder server and view camera feeds. The addon is in the official repository, so anyone using Dharma should be able to grab it from within XBMC.
I'd be interested in anyone who ends up trying out this addon, especially if you're using hashed authentication. It seemed to work okay when I tested it, but I'd love to have independent confirmation that all's well.
I may release a new version soon, with the option to specify an IP address for the hash. This would be useful for people who have ticked the option in ZoneMinder to include the IP in the calculated hash for authentication, but are going through a proxy or some other fanangled networking which causes the IP that ZoneMinder sees to be different to the IP of the box XBMC is running on.
I also have a script for more generic streams, which I've been using with VLC on Linux. I've created a VLM config file for VLC which allows me to create streams from multiple webcams attached to a PC, and additionally create a "mosaic" of all the webcams in one HD stream. Once I'm happy that the script and the VLC solution are working okay (VLC currently seems to use a lot of CPU transcoding the streams, and I'd like to look into minimising this) I'll probably release the script and add a tutorial for VLC on this forum.
