Javascript :: Browser Based Webcam Streaming And Capture Lib / Framework
Jul 18, 2011
What I want to do is have control over the streams so I can send them wherever I want, have it interface w/a mic and cam, and the ability to capture and record them. At this point I don't have any specific specs or limitations. It will be used in a commercial project so the license must allow for that. Free and OSS is preferably, but commercial and proprietary is not out of the question if it's worth it.
I don't see html5 as a viable solution at this point so I'm assuming it's going to rely on flash which is fine, but I do not know actionscript. I'm not opposed to learning it, and assume I could pick it up fine within a week, but keep that in mind. If I have to build something myself from the actionscript libraries (I assume they provide enough functionality) I can do so, but I'm hoping for a quicker solution than that.
I'm looking for a flash script/library to capture video and audio from a webcam and then somehow get a saved flv to my encoding server. I'm not looking for something that will host the videos for me. I just need something simple to capture and then upload. I really want this to be open source and free.
I've done a fair amount of searching and it seems that most of what i can find is either a full blown service with hosting, or the red 5 suite. I've been trying for a day to get something going on with Red5, but honestly I haven't done any flash or java development in over 6 years and this seems way too complicated when all i really want is a flash object i can stick on a webpage.
Ideally what I was initially looking for is an implementation of the HTML5 Media Capture API with a polyfill rolling back to Flash, however, my research has concluded that the API is in its infancy and is yet to be taken up by any of the major vendors, and in addition to that, Flash means for doing what I need seem scarce.I need to be able to take webcam input from a camera, show a live preview, record, and play back that recording, nothing more, no upload to server necessary, all local

I have a Flash file embedded into HTML - the objects inside are place based on the browser's screen size.Most of the time I don't want a scroll bar, as things are correctly placed, but once the browser window gets too small it'd be nice to have it.So, the main question: can I have a Javascript code listening for the browser window, then adding a scroll bar if it's smaller than a certain number?
Imagine I want a user to be able to copy-paste a selection of pixels from MSPaint into a browser-based app. Is this possible using JavaScript in any current browsers? Will it become possible in HTML5?If not, is it feasible using something like Flex/Silverlight, or is it simply not possible at this time, and you'd have to save a file and manually upload it?
update: sounds like HTML5 should allow it, but that's a way in the future to be genuinely useful. Some suggestions of Java applets and Flash are mentioned, probably Flash would be preferable since parts of the web-client would probably use Flex anyway... I'd rather not have requirement for Java and Flash in my site.
We're currently building a Flex application using the PureMVC framework with a shell.swf which loads/unloads modules dynamically. We're experiencing issues with memory and we're looking to replace the shell.swf with a JavaScript-based loader.Two questions:What would be a good framework to dynamically load the Flex components and allow the modules to communicate between each other?Would dynamically loading/unloading the modules via JavaScript take care of the typical memory problems associated with Flex/Flash applications?
I need to take a picture from a webcam into a webapp (PHP5/JQuery/HTML5) but I cannot use Flash; Is there a light java applet or any alternative technology for this?.
we have the below code and it captured the video but not the actual video which displayed in the webcam. It only captured one third of the image like from x 100 and y 40 something how to capture the whole image displayed in the webcam like 320*250 below is the code
I have to take a snapshots form my webcam every 5 minutes. Now my script is whit a button and its working but my file have to take the picture alone and then again whitout button to send them? I saw something on the net but when I try to do it its not working.
I have an AVER-TV HD Video Capture Card. Using Flash AS3 I can display HD content on the screen just as if the card was a WebCam. However, the performance is not that great as it get's quite 'stuttery' and is not smooth. I wondered if there were a way I could get StageVideo to help with this? It seems the StageVideo object needs a NetStream to operate. I've tried attaching a Camera to a NetStream Object and then passing it to StageVideo. The Camera seems to turn on, but it doesn't display anything on screen. Do I need to do something for the NetStream / StageVideo to display the output on screen? I really hope there is a way to use StageVideo with this HD Video Capture Card as I imagine it would be a lot smoother.
Is there a way to know the max resolution of a webcam ? I need to capture images from webcam and send its on another notebook throught internet.
So I want to capture images at max resolution indipendently from webcam automatically without setting the resolution every time ( if I have a webcam with 1.3 MPixel, I want to capture images at 1.3 MPixel; If I have a webcam with 640x480 Pixel, I want to capture images at 640x480 Pixel; and so on... ).
I want to capture live webcam in the form of video, i am not getin the proper example in the official page documentation of the webcam plugin.How to do so???
I'm writing a flex 4.5 application that's supposed to capture a video from a webcam and audio from microphone and save it in some video format (i don't care which format). I use VideoDisplay to display the webcam. how can I fetch and play audio in real time ? Is there a way to save the video locally without using a flash media server?
Basically I have designed a flash interface which puts a moustache over the users face in real time. My lecturer has told me to add a button which will take a capture of the image of the person with the moustace and add the image to a folder.
how to even begin this project, would anyone be able to point e in the right direction or offer a little wisdom on the issue?
I am using Asp.net/C# to build an application , i have a requirement wherein i need to access webcam from my page and capture images of users.So i am trying to achieve this by creating flash file .
Got round to the point where screen grabbing an image and saving it to file is too much, so what i want to do now, is take a snapshot of a live webcam image (I have webcam display working) and display the snapshot/screen grab, next to it or anywhere in the movie. This way the screen capture can be stored temporarily in the movie. once the movie is closed, all info is lost. Once another screen grab is taken, then the previous one is overwritten. The idea is simple but having problems working out how to do it in AS3!
I have got to the idea that i may need to use the Bitmap API to copy a section of the movie, and then redraw it into a new bitmap object?
If I want to capture the screenshot of a video streaming can I just draw the movieclip who contain the stream in a BitmapData ? BitmapData.draw(movieClip); ?
I'm new in AS and trying create util such Youtube's "My webcam". Here's a part of my code:
[Code]....
Can't attach video object or stream to spark.components.VideoPlayer to view video and don't know how to convert video to flv contents for sending in POST form.
I almost think it's impossible but I know little. I saw once on a website a streaming webcam video in fact it was live. I right-clicked it and it was in flash. Does anyone know how do streaming video with a webcam in flash?
I have a webcam set up in flash. What I want is to be able to talk to someone else who has a webcam via my website. Can someone point my in the right direction? I'll need to do it in as2.
I'm trying to stream a webcam from 1 server to many client, what I really need to know is :1. How to adjust a bitrate video for bandwidth streaming, is it enough just using a Camera.setQuality() ?2. If u set Camera.setMode() at large resolution, for example at 1024x768 is it could make the bandwidth for client access increase too ?I mean is it affect the bandwidth for set the resolution at small (ex: 160x120) or set at large (ex: 1024x768) resolution.3. Same as number 2. just it was for video=new Video(w, h) . Is setting a video size affecting the bandwidth ?
I have to install a multi-webcam setup that will be live streamed and accessible via a web browser.I'm looking into the quickest and most efficient solution, the less time and hassle it takes to implement, the better. That means buying hardware and/or software is not that much of an issue (as long as it's not 1000$+ flash server software).
The requirements / basic setup:The web server will be directly connected the cams (via ethernet / WiFi).The stream should be viewable by the max possible audience so no ActiveX / VLC-style object embedding. Flash would be ideal (even if it's a paid solution).Bandwidth is not an issue, max 2-3 clients at a time, most of the time only one.
I know that is possible to make a p2p webcam stream with Cirrus/Stratus or with Adobe liveCycle, but the first is not for commercial use and the second use an adobe's server. Is possible to set up a my own server with Flash media server 4 and then create a application to do what i want? I would to create a webcam stream 1->n using p2p. I cant find any example or any documentation about that and how work the rtmpf protocol of fms4. If i was not clear make me any question.
