Right! Never used them, though. I had a quick look at how it works:

  Webcam = Camera.get();
  myVideo.attachVideo(Webcam);

So I just need to "simulate" a webcam and everything is fine. :)

I have no clue how webcams are implemented/accessed under Linux and
how Camera.get() should be implemented in Gnash, though.


RS> Also you can now stream an mpeg4 video source in Gnash,

Yes, but I want to avoid useless encoding of a local video stream.

Yes, but still needs to be implemented correctly and does not yet
support resizing. It's not difficult and I'll do it once I get video
support into my Gnash installation.

Err, upload??
