I haven't seen anything on this one, and I'm not even sure this is possible.
Is it possible to show a live video stream on a CC/RCC screen and control it like a regular graphic?

Something like:
ph_setccobjgraphic("__AG_SOMESCREEN", "GRAPHIC-xxx", "http://192.168.x.y:8009","", "")

I have a remote camera that streams live video to a web port, and it would be nice to be able to show it on
the CC/RCC screen.

I have attempted this same sort of thing with my Blue Iris camera streams.

Unfortunately, the closest I was every able to get a "static" snap-shot to come through. I did have the snap shot update every seconds or two and then have the CC refresh between snap shots (although that did not seem to work too well).

Hopefully you find something that I didn't.

Hi Smarty,

Thank you for your response.

Yes, I do the same thing to monitor my security cameras and it's nice, but for this
application, I would need live streaming video.

The background is this:
I built a Raspberry Pi, WEB controlled all-terrain camera car thing. I can fully control
it by accessing a WEB site. I can drive it all around my house while I'm not there. I
would like to have a CC page to control the device so that all my home and devices can be
controlled/accessed by a PH RCC page. I wrote all the Raspberry Pi software so that I
can control the car by url routing both to and from the car. So, 1 second interval
images would be rather difficult, live video would be much preferred.

Using url routing, I can have PH log movements by the car, and log when it was accessed
and when it was parked. PH could also grab any still pics that I would want to save.

I was hoping that Dave had some hidden function or tricky alternate method to display
live video. If not, this would be a first - something that PH CAN'T do!   

There's always hope!
Still hoping Dave can pull through.....

One of the planned enhancements is to add a webbrowser control as a CC object. Just like you can define a graphic on the CC, the webbrowser
control would be an Internet Explorer control that could be borderless and toolbarless that could display live web video (or a static page, etc).

I think this would be able to accomplish what you're looking for. I'll see about moving this up on the development list.

In the meantime, the only other thing I can think of would be to use the web based CC along with an iframe for the video url.

Dave.
