Is there a webcam app on the platform yet?

Anyone came across one? I'm hoping to either buy one tomorrow but if there is one for Android I'd much rather save my cash..
Thanks

i want this also, would be very handy.

We don't even have a working video camera yet, so this isn't very likely until some time much farther down the road, if ever.

im sorry to say, but there is a video camera app out there in beta stages(crappy but good) it has some errors and what not..
in order to make a web cam app you dont have to have a video camera app installed on the g1, video capturing image is already enabled on the phone, just someone has to make an app for it. to make a webcam app you would have to make your own video capturing system, or use an existing one if you code it right, some where some how some one will do it, just takes time :'(

Doesn't the vid cam app thats out now record video in motion jpeg?

Are you thinking you'd connect your phone to a PC and use it as a webcam? Surely we are not talking about using this on the phone, otherwise you'd have to turn the phone around every second to type, view the other persons video, etc...
That being said, the ADT Plugin For Eclipse adds Screenshot Capability to Eclipse... Might be some way to adapt that into a video feed? Although, this would then be more of a PC driver request than an Android app request...

use your windows mobile as a webcam
Its free and simple....
Download mymobiler: http://www.mymobiler.com
Download VH screen capture driver: http://www.hmelyoff.com/index.php?section=8
Start mymobiler and activate your mobile camera
Grab the part of the screen you want with VH screen capture
Now you have a webcam stream which you can use in any program like skype, msn etc..
Look at this video as example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wveANUBUIJM
Instead of using the microsoft remote tool use mymobiler. It is much faster.
PS: You need active sync to communicate with mymobiler

Are you HIGH or just spamming? We are talking Android here, what does Windows Mobile apps have to do with it? The last I've check there was no WINE 4 Android...

This would be the purpose I would want to use it for. Granted webcams are cheap these days so i'm not sure it is really all that practical.

Probably not but might be cool nonetheless.

The idea

I am not high or abusing your eyes. Maybe you can read between the lines and use my example as you wish.
Or is there maybe no camera option on a Android phone ?? I don't know anything about googles attempt to make something for a pda/phone.
Or is there no software available to remote control the phone. Or is it the lack of applications for Android ??? Ok you mentioned WINE...It seems you are waiting for windows emulation on Android because there is actualy more software available for Windows Mobile ???
Anyway if your are able to display your camera on a Windows screen you can capture it with the VH screencapture and use the stream for skype etc...

You people need to upgrade to one of the Builds of 1.5, so you can use Camcorder (the google cam recorder).

I agree. What a waste of time. But For one I would love to see a Webcam on my G1.
" You people need to upgrade to one of the Builds of 1.5, so you can use Camcorder (the google cam recorder)."
Uhm I have the 1.5H A2SD
And there is a camcorder..but you cant stream it through MSN or Skype..which is what people are wanting to do.

By far the slickest way of controlling media on your pc or xbox1 or Linux box...
Install XBMC
Get XBMC remote from Google Code
It's superb.

[Q] video files on dlna

hy guys
i don't know if is better write this problem here or in other section; i have posted here because i think that the dlna program on galaxy s is inside the rom of the phone and is not a 3th parts porgram that i can install later
in any case, i try to explane my problem and i hope to find any solution with you.
i don't understand why, i f i try to play some video files stored on my hard disk with this dlna service, with my galaxy, i can't reproduce them; i can find it, i can surf on my directory (i use the orb media as a server) but when i choose one file, i see "file not supported"..the strange is that..i see the same advise also if i try to reproduce a video files that before was in my phone.....
i don't understand why i have this problem; my idea, is use the tv out function of my galaxy to reproduce some video on my pc on my tv in bedroom, as a films or other without, all the times, disconnect my hard drive, connect it to the pc, load the file and remake the same operation...if one time i want to play a simple film or other materials that i have on my pc, why can't do that?
i'm waiting, if is possible, some solution or idea
merry Christmas and happy new year for all!
sam

i am not sure but i think i read somwhere that dlna only works with windows media sharing
if you are using something like twonky or tversity it doesn't work
it is just a bad app

Ok.. Now i try to make the same with orb program and i can see the video correctly! I think that is as your idea a strange setting of this program., it will work only with Samsung tv..
Do you know if i can try for this operation some other programs?
Thanks for your reply!

I had the same problem,but in i a slightly different combination.
My PC acts as a DLNA server. Only the program named "Samsung PC share manager" solved the problem. You can install it on PC and share your video files via DLNA.

I have just try this software but not work in any case..always the same advice.. I can surf on my files but when i open one my video files i read file format not supported..
Ok i have just pay to use a complete version of orb.. But i'm very angry because i can not use a function of my expensive smartphone and i must buy a expensive extra software

[Q] Is there a way or app that lets me access my videos on a network share?

Hi, One reason i like using Windows Mobile phones is that it can access my folders shared on my network, and as such, I can access pictures and my video files or divx videos to play remotely.
Is there a way on my streak to do the same thing? Now that I have my dock. I would love a way to access my movies and so and play them remotely. Anyone have a idea on how android devices could do this? Thanks.

Thanks. The app in question to use now is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756158 The CIFS Manager. This should hopefully do the trick. =D Cause who wants to pay for a "server app" on your PC.. when youd think it can just read it Natively. Thats why I have a windows ppc. Tho the app I got there works.. but it sucks cause none of the menu UI comes up right... tho still managed it.
lou0611 I dont wanna stream from a server or convert the files, I could do that but I rather just open my network folders, pick my file and play

Group play can't cast video even s4 also can't do that. All share play is only for laptop and own device only.

There's an app called Airstream
Install Airstream server on your device and the Airstream app on your friends device... And if both of you are on the same wifi network your friend could stream off ur phone or even copy Contents from your phone.

Nope.. It works perfectly .. I use it to stream movies from my galaxy tab to note and vice versa
I have also installed their server app for windows to stream stuff from my laptop
Maybe you are doing something wrong
Install Airstream server app from playstore on phone 1
Airstream app from the playstore on phone 2
Turn on server on phone 1
Stream using the app from phone 2.
Simple as that

There's also an app called share screen which does what you want but it's for pairing tablets to phones. I don't know if it will work on phone to phone.. But give it a try.. Good luck
