Visual Studio 2005

[jameswilson]

Does Anyone have any experience with visual studio. Im gonna try and make and windows app for live viewing of cams. Reason being im having difficulty with the reliabilty og firefox and ie bringing client machines to their knees. Im ok with most of it but i have never tried to diaply streaming content in visual studio, im assuming its possible but never tried.

I created an access app that browsed recorded events via mysql and samba but was too difficult to set up so i binned it but i may use this as the idea for browing events if i can get streaming to work

BTW all theory at the mo

If you look in the main forums you will see that there are probably a few hundred messages detailing James' progress from novice to expert hacker in a matter of weeks

He has created a couple of very capable viewers for both Windows and X, if you look for threads titled 'live viewer' I think you will find something.

the linux viewer is open, but the windows one isnt at the moment. Im seriously thinking about a version 3 that we could make open if you want. The reason im thinking of starting again is because 2 went a lot further than i intended, plus my employer funded version 2 and as such isnt my decision to release, i got the ok to give it away with zm branding as a sort of donation to the community. I must admit development has stalled on both projects on my part but i will be looking at them again soon. (i get married in a couple of months and my wife to be says it feels like its me, her and a couple of pc's in this relationship, so obviously she will have to go )
The linux viewer is written in real basic. The plus of this is thats its cross platform, so we could make the same client work in linux and windows (and macs) I can post the rb source, but i only want to if its going to progress as i have personally put a bit of time into it and would love to see it mature.

im sorry mate i know nothing about delphi, i thought it was a db tool

[nikomsj]

delphi i like all other languages ...
I can use c++ (gcc) ot VC++ 6.0, or .Net 2003/2005 or delphi, C++ Builder or ... newer mind for me the language is not important ... i have look over more languages and now i can take a solution over good background ... the principals are same but the language just tool ... if somebody want can test this software ... now I activate 1 camera ... but this is just a test ... i need idea ot solution to take stream from your zoneminder server ... to dont lose many time to explore hot watter ...
regards Niko

i have used zms to get images in my viewer, as i thought this was the best way, i dowmload the image to an image Variable then display. Maybe that helps, unfortunatly, the linux viewer does it slightly differently as im very green to linux.
