I am trying to get these 2 webcams to work on URL widget. http://www.kustomcoachwerks.com/cleancam.php and http://www.kustomcoachwerks.com/dirtycam.php but I can't get either to work. Also other webcams I have tried just show a static .jpg Is this widget capable of showing live webcams?
Are you just entering the URLs as you've listed? If so, those won't work - that's a web page with a custom embedded Java webcam player.
Do you have a URL to the actual JPEG image stream the Java applet is using (ie a URL that if I type into a browser, gives me the latest still image)?
Wouldn't the site also need a crossdomain.xml file? Unless, of course, the image is proxied..
You don't need a crossdomain.xml file to load images.
Cool, I hadn't realized the restriction didn't apply to images.
Skip, I determined the URL's to both JPEG streams:
Static:
http://69.146.254.227/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?camera=1&resolution=320x240
http://69.146.254.226/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi?camera=1&resolution=320x240Motion Jpeg:
http://69.146.254.227/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=1&resolution=320x240
http://69.146.254.226/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?camera=1&resolution=320x240Edit: Not sure if the Chumby webcam widget is capable of supporting the latter set of URLs.
I tried the motion URLs and it did not work. I did not try the static jpg yet. But I have used static .jpg for other webcams. It is just not as good as widgets with webcams that show motion. What does the San Diego Zoo webcam widgets have that let them show motion webcams?
If you have access to a flash creation program (ie Adobe Flash CS3), another forum member, wrybread, has created a great webcam template. I spent all day creating new private webcam widgets. View his post here: http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?pid=11584
If I have a networked Webcam and I want to watch it on the Chumby, do I have to write a new Widget or is there a widget already written to which I can just give the URL (via customization)?
Here is the source for Load Image from URL if you need it
Wanted to get some of the online kids flash games to work, has anyone tried it?
I found this swf file on NIck Jr website....tried to make it work using this widget...no luck. It shows up fine on the chumby dashboard website but not on the device. Can someone help?

It is likely the security restrictions are stopping it working (crossdomain.xml?). This is a problem for swf's.
I believe there is a workaround using Yahoo Pipes. Do a quick search in the forums for yahoo pipes.
Yes, looks like a crossdomain issue. They have one, but Chumby isn't on the list.
Thanks. Is there a workaround?
Maybe.
You can use Yahoo Pipes to get data from a site, and serve it from Yahoo - a site that has a Chumby friendly crossdomain policy. I'm not sure it would work for the .swf
Also, the swf you linked to is a loader for one or more Flash movies. Complicating things further.
