Specifying a refresh interval for a webcam
In the announcement for Kinoma Player 4 EX v4.3, I noted:
Additionally, this release supports an optional refresh interval for network cameras/webcams that deliver still images.
And now, here’s how!
To specify the refresh interval for a network camera or webcam that delivers still images, all you have to do is use a magic URL in this format:
http://go.kinoma.com/webcam.php?refresh=30
&uri=http://mydomain.com/blah/blah/webcam.jpg
(Note that although I have to break the URL in two to display it here, in reality the URL must be continuous.)
The refresh parameter is the refresh time in seconds. The uri parameter is the “real” URL to the image created by the network camera/webcam. Don’t forget the “&” between the two, which is the standard character that separates parameters in URLs.
