hey, would it be possible to make a plugin that, streams videos playing in windowes media player, or some player, through as a webcam video? so people can watch what im watching?

thats a really good idea, what about the sound tho, a plugin to have sound go through audio to?

oh yea, that to lol.

......


ummmmmmmmm......


ill have to get back to u on that one...

if i can find out how to do it...i ll get started on it

well u can have the audio go through the msn audio part, for whenever u wanna talk with microphones and such. or u could just use the video conference stuff.

this would be illegal, copyright stuff. Unless you legally own the copyright to the video/audio or were paying the owner of the video whatever money to broadcast it i seriously doubt that this is a good idea

wat about for like home movies......

Just like peer2peer networks: It all depends on the user. A plugin creator wont be responsible for it.

But i was personally thinking about some kind of Screenshot Sender plugin, but then trough video. I mean, make it possible to stream every window/object instead of just being able to re-stream MediaPlayer of any other videoplayer. So you can show people trough the webcam function what you are actually doing on your PC. I don't know what MSN supports as maximimum resolution for webcam's because the regular webcam window is a bit to small to stream you Internet Explorer window in or anything . Maybe there is a way to get it bigger. But even with small windows it still seems fun to select a part of your desktop and have it streamed to your contact.

I know it comes pretty close to Netmeeting, but having it in a webcam window just seems more fun and less complicated .

Getting the webcam screen bigger can't be done.

As for the plug-in of streaming a home video.... the closest thing you can get is linking a computer game or TV screen up to it.

However, your best bet at the moment is to put a camera up to the picture and just keep it on the media player screen, with the audio on and play it through the speakers.

Soz if this isn't explained clearly enough.

As for the plug-in thing, I dont accutly think it can be done I'm afraid.

that's will have horizontal lines on the final video isn't? becouse of the fact that the monitor is in high resolution and the camara doesn't support that resolution.
