request mjpeg file

how do I make a request for a MJPEG file to a IP Camera?

3 Answers

I am having the same issue, however to be more clear (and to help out @ale ale)

in my index.html page i have a standard img tag, its source is outside of the project:
<img src="http://192.168.1.100/mjpg/video.mjpg" alt="" />

The application A) does not know how to display a Motion-JPEG, and B)the debug window is trying to Proxy it
[22:31:07:638] [Titanium.Proxy] [Debug] Looking up proxy info…
[22:31:07:651] [Titanium.Proxy] [Debug] Proxy auto config activated by…
[22:31:07:656] [Titanium.Proxy] [Debug] Checking whether http://192.168.1.100/mjpg/video.mjpg should be bypassed.
[22:31:07:656] [Titanium.Proxy] [Debug] No bypass

so really what I need to see answered is why does the compiled app not understand how to display a Motion-JPEG?

Thanks,
Chris

Use a webView:

Here's a demo of a live MJPG stream.
```
var win = Ti.UI.currentWindow;

win.backgroundColor = '#555';

var mjpeg_source = 'http://webcam.mum.edu/cgi-bin/video320x240.mjpg';

var playerHTML = '<html><body style="background:#000;padding:0px;margin:0px;"><img width="320" height="240" src="'+mjpeg_source+'"></body></html>';


var mjpeg_webview = Titanium.UI.createWebView({
    html: playerHTML,
    width:320,
    height:240,
    top:10
});

win.add(mjpeg_webview);
```

- The Desktop API does not support the function 'createWebView', still stuck

- Ahh! whoops! You should then just be able to use the thml I used in the main app window. AFAIK, the desktop app is more or less a big 'webview'(browser) itself! :)

- I think I have not been able to explain my point, Titanium uses a proxy for all links and src attributes through an internal javascript proxy. an MJPEG will never stop loading as it is adding frames onto the end of a stack (especially from a security camera). It then never loads into the "Application". It doesn't matter how it's presented to the app, it will try to proxy those links.

You can use:

exports.create = function(mjpgurl) {
     var self = Titanium.UI.createWebView({
            url:mjpgurl,
        width:320,
            height:240
    });
    Ti.App.addEventListener('resume',function(){self.reload});
    return self;
}
