HTML - Webcams And Live Streaming Video ??
Hi:
I have a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 webcam mounted on my monitor (for Skype) of my development machine in front of me. I also have my own Apache Server sitting on another Dell desktop beside me, and a Dell Laptop completing the set of three XP Pro machines connected together on my little local intranet. I would like to gently test the waters of live video streaming from my camera thru my local intranet to my Apache server and out into the wide web world ) You folks have already helped me get started in web page design, and my site is now operating very nicely. Now I'd like to add video to my site. I would consider this a startling success if, in a few weeks, I could visit my website and click on a link and see live video of me typing on my keyboard here ) I would appreciate some starting tips please. Software, guidance, hardware, etc Thank you ! -Mel Smlith Similar TutorialsI would like to include on my website streaming HD video not unlike Youtube or Vimeo. How hard is this? Both in terms of the video compression and the coding for the site. Where do I look for info to help me out? I have a very basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, but not much else. Are the videos on Youtube and Vimeo flash? I am not sure if "streaming" or "embedded" is the proper term for what I want to do. I'll be starting with mp4 files, since those are best for encoding HD... I use x264 codec and encode 720p @ 2.5Mbps for great quality and decent filesize. But somehow Youtube compresses it even further. Example, I had a 5 minute 720p mp4 file that was around 100MB. I uploaded it to Youtube and it is now available in HD and looks pretty good. But if I watch my network connections as I am streaming it, only 20MB transfers... which means they compressed it 5 times better than I had it! That is definitely important because if I try to have streaming HD and it's not compressed enough, it won't be watchable for most people. hello guys hr u ?? i have a problem i have already a streaming server .. and i created a website using iweb but i don't know how to write the HTML code i found this code but i want to upload it from my strwaming server ?how ??

Currently we're doing this with Quicktime streaming server (QTSS) on a Mac server - this works, but the ports it uses are preventing some people from viewing the videos due to strict firewall settings so I'm looking for alternatives. Flash is possible, but expensive. Does anyone know of a way to do this which is free (or at least cheap)? Many thanks hi i would like to know as to how to go about with html if i wanted people to watch a live event on my website i have been doing xhtml css however never explored this live feature event so can someone provide me with links where i can get all the information that is needed for example a camera to record, what technology to use, what i should consider from user point of view, server side point of you, and the html code that needs to be used. please advise. thanks Hello, Recently I have discovered a site that has gathered websites from various websites. I wan't to do the same with specific webcams only. I wan't to add only a few webcams into my site but how can I do that? I copied the url of the webcam and paste it in an iframe with no success. Is there any other way? Thanks in advance! Greg Hi guys- Im not an expert. I am a teacher at an elementary school. I am trying to set up a webpage for our school that will allow students to view egg hatchings going on in all their classrooms. Im doing this through the use of webcams. I can get a single webcam to display in a page, but when I go for more than one, this is what happens... http://www.mrharris.org/unipage.html The second cam should be showint up, but there is obviously some issue here... Any suggestions ? Thanks ! Mike ok im building a website for xbox live game Project gotham racing 4 i want to build a league for the game on my website so when people racing it will add points to the league i would like it targeted only to the people that use the website and not the entire world any one point be in the right direct or help me out with this www.forumsg.co.uk Hi All Wondered if anyone could help me. I have a website, which I am able to create a blog page with, which I have done. I do not like any of the layouts/templates that are provided for this service and I want to stream the information that I blog to a section/div tag of my actual site and leave the actual blog page non visable to viewers. Is this possible using only html? or will I have to delete this blog page and set up another with the likes of joomla or wordpress? Cheers Saz Hello, I wonder if it is possible or it will be possible to make the webcam (Audio/Video) streaming with her website as a webcam chat without Flash or Silverlight but with HTML5 or perhaps JavaScript. Or will it always must pass through Flash or Silverlight to make a webcam chat Thanks in advance Im trying to create a site that will constantly update in real time based on my activity. For example, if i update my facebook status or add a new twitter update at 5:30 then the site will add to the top of the list Robin updated her facebook status at 5:30. and the list will continue to build. conplicated... but any thoughts? thanks for the help. I want to add a radio selector to my site...to allow people to choose what feed they would like to listen to. I have see a php mod which I could use from a phpnuke mod but I wanted it in simple html if possible. I want a drop down menu with different station names, and when you choose one it loads the relevant stream in a media applet above/below. If you go to my test page you can see what i mean: http://vivalefrench.com/tester.html But I dont see how to target the links to the media player? I bought a cheap flash script that looks good but it doesnt work with asx files, I would have open them to look for the mms file and I dont want to overstep my mark as Im using feeds from another site. Not sure if I am allowed to do such a thing. So a simple html drop down menu to choose stations would be idea. If you right click on the test page, you can view the source to see how its been put together.. There is always a solution but I havent a clue with it Hello everyone. =) I'm still very much a n00b when it comes to web development, so there's still a LOT I don't know how to do (and I can't even search Google very well, 'cuz I don't know the correct terms). That said...I apologize if I put this in the wrong section; I'm not really even sure where this topic belongs. =\ If you have any coding knowledge, or know a website that can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance!! 1) I really like music, so I'd love to have an interactive Billboard music chart on my site. By "interactive", I mean "you get a list of the top 40 (or top 100) songs, and if you click the songs, you'll hear them play". I'm thinking that, in order for this to work, I need to find a online radio site or something. But I know nothing about streaming websites...so I'm not even sure if there already is a "Top 40s Billboard" station, or a "Top R&B/Hip-Hop" station. And if those stations do exist, I don't know how to add them to my website. Would I need something called RSS/XML??? What do I do??? 2) I want to add a sports ticker to my website. I'd love for it to be similar to this (I wish I could just pay them for the ticker, but I can't afford $130/month. So I'm wondering if there's a way to produce the same [or a somewhat similar] effect for free?): http://sports.tickertech.com/ As you can see, the ticker is quite expansive. You can get info on national sports news (Michael Vick, etc.) and you can also get specific news based on individual sports teams (San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Tigers, etc.) You can also click on each individual link (located on the left side) and read more information on each topic; it's really really cool. <3 Is there anyway to reproduce this effect? If that ticker involves too much work, then how do I at least get the NATIONAL/MAJOR sports news for each sports category (NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, etc.) to show up? 3) Also, what's the best way to keep my sports ticker and music charts up-to-date (or even better, have it update by itself)? Would I need to use RSS/XML to do it??? Hello, I am updating an old website with no media player. They had one but it became damaged. $25,000 right down the tube, (not my money!). Anyway, if you look at the page I’m talking about... http://rockwindow.com/video_pages/viedo_01.htm you will understand what I'm talking about. I used an image of the old player. I was wondering if I was to use <map> attribute around the control buttons what the code would be for a link to do: play, pause & stop. If you right click the video, those options are in the menu. How do I link to a code for a control like that. Any help, I will appreciate very very much. Thank you! Hey all, Is it possible to shut down video screen automatically after displaying the video? I mean, after video is over, is it possible to hide the video screen? ( I tried to use embed tag... <embed src="myVideo" autostart="true" /> ??) Thanks, Doron Hello, first post. HELLO! my video widget playlist on my index is a different size on my index.php but the correct size throughout the rest of my site.

I'm trying to replicate an old app that used to be in the App Store. It let you log into xbox.com, and take your friends list and various other info, and put a nice interface over it.

</html> Please can someone help me, i presume it is just a scripting error on my side as im not a verry good at html. Although i have done both the script and used the user front end to try and make this page, the problem is still there. Final note, the web site is for a combat simulation sport called airsoft, it is a lot like paintballing but uses replica guns that fire rubber pellets at a low velocity which is totaly leagal in the uk (well at the moment), just incase anyone wonders why the pictures are of people with guns. Thanks for any help possible I want to put a simple live clock on my page, but many useful tags are restricted by the host (mocpages.com). MOCpages' documentation on disallowed HTML: http://mocpages.com/help/disallowed_html.php The restricted tags that I know of are <style>, <script>,<object>, <embed>, and <iframe> My URL, http://mocpages.com/home.php/1516, suggests that php may be acceptable as long as it doesn't use the restricted tags. The only other way I know of is to use the <img> tag with a server hosted clock. I have searched the internet and can't find one. If it helps, I can get away with inline css styles, since it isn't the <style> tag. Any other ideas? Anyone know a server hosted clock? hey guys i'm makin a web page for an art project. what steps are needed to set up sort of a live video feed off a web cam? I want to be able to position the webcam feed on the page wherever i want on the page. I'm gonna try to google it some more, but so far nothing great has come up and i just wanted to try some direct advice if anyone knows how. thanks, you guys never disappoint. |
