When I said replace the 00s with your IP, you must put in your WAN address, not your local IP address in your network.
In other words it will look something like http://26.149.18.45:8080" (just made up those numbers - do NOT use them)
instead of http://192.168.1.100:8080
if it starts with 192.168 … it is surely your INTERNAL IP address, thus not accessible from the net “outside” your network.
You must also go into your router contol address - mine is 192.168.1.1 (for LINKSYS), and open up a port like 8080 or 8888, I think most any will work. It is on a page that controls “Forwarding” (after I hit “advanced”).
My problem is that my hauppauge driver stops the video feed after a random period of time. Microsoft says its the driver for the WinGo (Hauppauge) video card.
By the way, you can easily include SOUND with this setup. Pretty cool!
Wmayo, as I said before, having a dynamic IP is a big problem. From your experience working with the Media Encoder, do you think there is any way out for this? I work with Abyss Web Server and No-IP software, so one of my computers within the LAN act as a server.
About the dynamic IP (floating IP assignment), there is no workaround that I know of. However,
My service assigns me a number, and it has generally stayed the same over large periods of time. Even when I “rebooted” the cable modem, the SAME IP got assigned to me. Now, I suppose different services, and perhaps especially DSL is very different on this. I don’t know.
That was an advantage of Webcam 32. It has a way of noticing the change, and resending the page (html code) to your site with the corrections in it when your IP address changes. At least that what it looks like in their descriptions and directions.
If my IP ever changes, I’ll just go into my uploaded page and change the numbers. If anybody’s is CONSTANTLY changing, then, at that point, I guess it’s impractical.
Yes, thank you, you put it exactly as I think. Even so, I will try to write something that can authomatically find an IP change and change it also in html. As I am a kind of nerd in terms of programming, this is gonna be something… but I hope I’ll take the rabbit from the hat till the end of the decade.
Since Brian created WD’s webcam features I abandoned Simplecam… I liked it, but Brian’s one is much more complete and interesting. And maybe easier, too. If anyone needs any help about it, I’ll be here.
Thanks so much for this, it worked straight away, although i would like the image to match the size of
mediaplayer, I take it i need to do this within the webcam settings in WD

As I menionted above, I also have been playing with another solution to the live motion webcam thing - Windows media encoder. It works very well, though it takes a little more work.
The code I use is:
<OBJECT ID=“MediaPlayer1” width=640 height=480
classid=“CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95”
