Here is the story as of now. <br />I have set up a subdomain on my website for a live streaming webcam. <br />I have downloaded Windows Media Encoder and I believe I have done everything correctly in the script on the page. <br />Here it is as of now. <br /><a href="http://nickcam.bordumb.com" target="_blank">http://nickcam.bordumb.com</a><br /><br />I guess I am a little confused and frustrated on why I am unable to connect to anything. <br /><br />I will post what I have as of now. Here is the script on the index page:<br /><i><!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><br /><!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><br /><html><br /><head><br /><title>www.bordumb.com</title><br /><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><br /></head><br /><br /><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#000033"><div align="center"><br /><p align="center"><a href=http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/"http://www.bordumb.com"><img src="../bordumblogo.jpg" width="800" height="82" border="0"></a> <br /><p align="center"><img src=http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/"nickcam.jpg" width="288" height="36"> <br /><p align="center">&nbsp;<br /><p align="center"><font color="#000066" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><em><strong>Coming <br /> Soon </strong></em></font><br /><p align="center"><br><br /><!--- BEGIN PLAYER ---><br /><!-- webbot bot="HTMLMarkup" startspan ----><br /><br /><object ID="MediaPlayer" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240" CLASSID="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" STANDBY="Loading Windows Media Player components..."

I cant seem to connect with Windows Media Encoder either. <br /><br />Is there anything you see wrong in this script at all? Perhaps I have som settings wrong in Media Encoder?<br /><br />Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?<!--content-->
While i'm even asking, perhaps you know of a much easier way to go about doing this? while still having the same layout I have?<!--content-->
Nick, I don't know how to do what you want, sorry <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /><br />But I'm sure someone here at the forums will know what to do and will help you out <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
I hope someone can help. It's really irking me that I cant do this. I would like to find an answer/solution. I have searched google high and low and many other tech forums.<br /><br />I think perhaps the port numbers are wrong?<br /><br />Maybe i'm going about all of this wrong. Perhaps there is an easier way<!--content-->
I used webcamxp for this on windows, and use evocam for this on my powerbook. I don't think you can use ASX files on TCH though I could be wrong.<br /><br />Not sure how to do it the way you are describing though, I'm sorry. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /><!--content-->
I am downloading webcamXP right now... <br />Is it possible to use this and have it on that web page I have set up?<!--content-->
yes, absolutely. Pretty easily - you can get the code from the program for a flash object (what I used) javascript or java applet. =)<br /><br />edit: to do this you'll need to open up a port to your actual pc, webcam acts as a webserver to allow this - this is the same for any webcam streaming that I know of, other than ftp snapshots =)<!--content-->
hmmm how do I go about opening up this port?<!--content-->
okay I kind of just Hijacked my own thead here. I got the program up and running now. <br />What steps do I need to take to get it on this website if you dont mind sharing?<br />You said I need to put it into a flash file? Or link it somehow and open up a port?<br />How do I go about doing all of this?<br />I use dreamweaver XP and I have all the other programs as well.<br /><br />EDIT: Okay I just hit Generate HTML code for my site... this is what i got<br /><br /><i><applet codebase="http://24.160.229.116:8080/" code="b.class" archive="classes.jar" name="b" width="320" height="240" hspace="0" vspace="0" align="top" refresh="15" filename="cam_1.jpg"></applet><br /><br /></i><!--content-->
HAH! I got it to work!<br /><br />thanks for the help. Great program<!--content-->
Glad you got it to work, Nick! <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
