Two sources of video, TV and USB cam

[lwsmiser]

I have two sources of video on my computer. An ATI all-in-one TV tuner and a Logitek QuickCam Orbit MP. Yawcam finds only the TV tuner. I do have a Security camera which I connect to the TV tuner on the Composite input but it is found only if the TV tuner is set on Composite signal otherwise it defaults to the cable TV feed. The QuickCam is a ccd and apparently is not or cannot be detected by Yawcam. Is it possible to get yawcam to detect my usb camera:?:

Yes, it should be possible. The problem right now is that Yawcam gets confused when you have several capture devices.
Anyhow, at the moment I'm working on a version that handles this much better. So far my tests with this version looks good, but it's not ready yet. A beta version will be released as soon as possible.

I checked some more online posts and found one which suggested I run another program while detecting cameras. I started the ATI TV program which occupied the tv tuner and Yawcam was able to detect the quickcam. I got it to work on the local web server but am not sure about my net2go website. I am not a programmer and figuring out how to include a java applet in the web page's php files is a mystery to me and I could use some help. I have forwarded the 8081 port on my computer to the router but have not figured out how to write the java applet into the Net2go website php files.

You will have to add the code in your php-page so that the following code is generated to the viewing browser:

Code: Select all

<APPLET CODE=YawApplet.class CODEBASE="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240">
<param name="Host" value="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx">
<param name="Port" value="8081">
</APPLET>

(Where you exchange all the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with the public address pointing the computer where you run Yawcam.)

How you should edit your php-page depends on how it looks right now
But you should probably edit it to include something like this:

Code: Select all

<?php

echo '<APPLET CODE=YawApplet.class CODEBASE="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8081/" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="240">
<param name="Host" value="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx">
<param name="Port" value="8081">
</APPLET>';

?> 

Good Luck!

I'll give it a try. I'm not sure in which php file to put the code. And where to I put the applet class file? Here is a list of the files in the web folder.

First of all: You are not supposed to upload the applet class file! This file must be loaded via the codebase tag. So don't upload any class file. just edit the php.

Which php file to edit depends on where you want the camera and how your site is organized.

Okey, I just checked what Net2go is

I suggest you create a new file called yawcam.php in the first directory you listed. Start by including the second code snippet from my last post in this new file.
Then edit _links_panel.php to include a link to the new yawcam.php.

That should do the trick.
