How to use the webcam-stuff: (<html> means your html directory,
<cgi> means your cgi directory)
1.) Copy bttvgrab.jpg to <html>/images/
2.) Select which method you want to use: server-push(preferred) or client-pull
3.) For server-push, copy tv_off.jpg and nph-webcam.pl to <cgi>
For client-pull, copy webcam.html to <html>
4.) For server-push, call bttvgrab -f webcam:/tmp/bttvgrab -s <sleeptime> -w <width> -o jpg -q <quality> -Q
For client-pull, call bttvgrab -f webcam:<html>/bttvgrab -s <sleeptime> -w <width> -o jpg -q <quality> -Q
NOTES:
- the server push script checks if the browser is Netscape >=2, else
it uses client pull
- If the paths don't suit you, edit them in nph-webcam.pl or webcam.html.
- nph-webcam.pl assumes that the URL of <html> is "<cgi>/..", e.g.
<html>-URL = /~user/, then <cgi>-URL = /~user/cgi-bin.
- client-pull needs the expire module in apache, which is *not* compiled-in by
default. You need to compile your own version of apache for that.
