Passworded http webcam

[srcurtis]

Hi

I've spent no more than an hour or so playing with Studio so no doubt I'll have a number of annoying questions for you guys over the next few weeks.

I thought that a good project to start with would be to display some of my webcams on a page. All of the webcams are IP based and I can retrieve the images as a jpeg via a browser.

Some cameras are accessed without security and I can place the regular http path into an image, or and action passed to a child image widget, and the image displays fine. For example:

http://192.168.85.81/SnapshotJPEG?Resolution=640x480

Other cameras require user security. I'm running Sage Server on Windows rather than Linux (although I know I should make the change really).

These cameras need the url to contain the username and password in the form:

http://<user>:<password>@192.168.85.83/admin/__live.jpg

I've added the following registry keys to my development client workstation and my Sage TV Server:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_HTTP_USERNAME_PASSWORD_DISABLE]
"iexplore.exe"=dword:00000000
"explorer.exe"=dword:00000000
"SageTVClient.exe"=dword:00000000
"SageTVService.exe"=dword:00000000

This by-passes the IE security that normally blocks the issue of username and password in the URL and from IE I can now retireve the jpeg image from a security protected webcam on both my workstation and the Sage TV Server.

When I paste the same URL into the Image Source of the image gadget, the image refuses to display.

As you can see, I've added SageTVClient.exe and SageTVServer.exe to the registry on both the server and workstation to see if this helps, but to no avail.

Has anyone else had any experience of this or can offer me some next step guidence?

Thanks

Steve

Hi

Is there anyone that can assist me with this?

I guess I really have two questions:

1) Is it the Sage TV server or the Sage TV Client computer that requests the image via http?

2) What is the name of the service or executable that makes the request?

Thanks

Steve
