Searched around a bit and tried countless peices of webcam software but haven't found anything quite like what I would like yet.
I have a microsoft webcam hooked to my pc. I would like to run some webcam software on my pc that makes a streaming video file that I can open from my 8525 streaming video player.
If I could stream this video file from my PC to my linux webserver and then connect to my linux webserver from a webpage or from my 8525 to stream the video that would be even better.
Anyone seen anything like this?
I use this... Trackercam. I'm able to use any browser and view the webcam at home... haven't tested it on a ppc browser but theoretically it should work as long as you have a decent connection.

Oh, and it's FREE.
There's a program called dorgem (http://dorgem.sf.net I think) that runs a webcam (so it might not be exactly what you wanted, but it might be less hassel). It doesn't exactly do streaming video, but it can upload an image via ftp or HTTP POST and refresh every few seconds if required. It can also run a local HTTP Daemon which allows you to access the image on request (using PHP or similar).
Also free, but doesn't include the base control stuff that TrackerCam's software does (although you could consider that a good thing).
look for WebCamPlus .. www.ateksoft.com
Orb does the job, leave it running on your PC and with Version 2.0 you can view webcams hooked up to the PC.

Yup...I use Orb as well in it works very well..AND its free!
Has anyone checked out this site before? its a site that allows for web chatting and using mics to chat with a bunch of people. I know the touch pro 2 has a few webcam applications like qik. I was wondering with qik is it possible to use the tp2 as a webcam to broadcast on that site? if not is there any application i can use to do that?
i was also interested in using the tp2 as a webcam on my ps3 is there any app for that as well?
I know the international version has DLNA support does the vibrant have it? I think the International version uses an Allshare DLNA app or something, I'm not to familiar with it.
I can confirm that the Vibrant does have the allshare DLNA app also.
I didn't even realize it had it until I read your post and took a peek for myself.
I just tested the Vibrant DLNA sharing feature on my PS3.
Played music my Mac using MediaLink. It seems to work nicely.
PS3 sees the new server and plays files from it.
The one thing I couldn't do is push a video to the PS3 and make it play. It seems the PS3 needs to be the one requesting to play the file.

How were you able to get your PS3 to play the video type? I was able to access the videos on my internal memory (16GB), but not my SD card (Avatar). But then it just said Unsupported File Type or whatever.
Is there a way to get the PS3 to play other types of video files than what it comes with stock?
you wont be able to see avatar because of copy right... anything copy written can not be seen over dlna.....
n00b question here, but where and how do I use DLNA on the Vibrant? I just got the phone and I am new to XDA... plz be gentle. LoL
Edit:
N/M Now I feel like a total n00b... found it. "all share"
Sorry, I should have been specific. I played music, but Did not try video.
Use the allshare app to use DLNA.

allshare - That's the name of the app in your phone
Is there DLNA software we can download/install to the PC, to turn the PC into a DLNA server and send files to the phone over my home wifi? (Windows XP Sp3) ... Be easier than having to plug in the USB cable.
thx

you should be able to use windows media player to share content. I'm not sure this method allows you to push content back to your pc
Open Windows Media Player > Library > Media Sharing and mess with settings there
I heard somewhere that u can use xbox 360 to dlna with epic. Is this possible? I tried google but cant find anything. I didnt think the 360 had dlna but i read everywhere that u can dlna with ps3 and xbox 360.
PS3 uses a special DLNA protocol, UPnP, and I don't thing the PS3 uses that particular protocol. Look at the specs on the Dlink DNS 323, it has an auto stream compatible with PS3 and XBOX.
any way to use dlna between epic and xbox without the dlink? or is the 360 not compatible?
You could always give the Twonky Mobile server app a try.

First off, are you running the Allshare App on the Epic and trying to configure it from there?

I just want to know if the 360 even supports dlna before i even try. i thought 360 doesnt, but i keep reading that ps3 and 360 both can do dlna. I tried googling but to no avail. I dont have the wireless adapter for the 360, but if it can do the dlna then i might consider purchasing it. So if anyone with a 360 and the wireless adapter for it can try it would be appreciated. I'm not sure if im ever even going to use the feature since my laptop has hdmi, but it would be nice to show it off
I just messed around with this for a few minutes. How I got it to work was :
1. Open windows media center on pc
2. Turn on 360, push the windows circle on the middle of the remote and to to the tab that has media center on it. Open it, you will get a code for setup after a step or two
3. Get the code and go to pc
4. Go to extenders on the pc media center and enter the code
5. It should be set up now
Then go to your phone > all share and let it do its thing. Select the appropriate option and play list items then select xbox 360 media center and it should play.
I played some mp3's without issue. I didn't try any video yet.

Not sure about dlna but upnp for sure.
Thanks Aridon, that was helpful and I have it working now! Now that it is setup, I do enjoy using the DLNA. The phone acts like a remote control which is sweet. Also the sound comes through my surround sound setup instead of the whimpy TV speakers.
on My Desire HD i can Stream to XBOX360
but only in the XBOX360 Media Center Extender Menue...
here what i have done...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794578&highlight=xbox360+dlna&page=6
i also tried mobile Twonky Media Server,
this works in normal XBOX Video Photo or Musik Medu (no Media Center Extender needed) but it dont play my Videos recorded with my Desire HD on my xbox360
Xbox supports dlna but it is only active when connected to a media center. It doesn't make sense dlna should always be active but its not. but that's how I stream from windows media player from windows 7 and epic.
To xbox.

I tried to run install twonky on OSX 10.4.11 the server starts up then shuts itself down and I can't connect to the config page in the browser, it's very frustrating
Just in case anybody is wondering this works fantastic on a ps3 and without needing a pc.

I meant use the twonky app on your phone, it will show up on your xbox as twonky server as long as it is running on your phone and will play any supported content without needing a pc

Yea but it works better on an xbox since you can use the phone as a remote
It is really to bad, I like to use my ps3 to watch media.
I will say I have a samsung tv and the dlna on it is horrendous, nothing works.

Has anybody tried plugging their phone straight in using usb cable?
I tryed pluging the phone into the usb ports and the xbox doesn't detect it. I just recently had to reformat my external hard drive, into Fat32 format, to make it xbox compatiable. I'm guessing you must do the same with yours phones memory card.
Where do I get. this Twonky Media Server?? I searched the market and google,but I can't find it
:edit: I found it in the market,just search twonky not twonky media server, it works pretty awesome streaming to my xbox music works fine, some pictures don't show up and videos I haven't bin able to try because I don't have an internet connection now.
thanks!
sweet. thanks guys.
so to summarize for future readers, go into xbox 360 media center & get code then go into computer media center -> extender -> add code. then, to play from dlna phone (epic, fascinate, etc.) go into xbox 360 media center then use allshare on dlna phone.
worked for me!
