I have a Linksys WVC54GCA web cam I would love to be able to add as a Roku Channel. Someone mentioned maybe being able to do this with a camera that does HLS, I think my webcam does this. Though I am not sure.
Darn, I was wrong my Linksys web cam does not do HLS. It appears to do MJPG motion video and JPG snapshots. It also appears to do some sort of RTS for mobile streaming but not HLS.
How hard would it be to have a channel that pulled the JPG every few seconds from the snapshot URL. As much as I would like the streaming, being able to see a quick snap shot just to make sure no one has kicked in my front door would be nice. 🙂
