Short: The ultimate webcam viewer (MUI)

Introduction
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
WebTV is a viewer program for a fairly recent phenomenon on the World Wide
Web - web cameras. Web cameras are recorded images published on the web and
updated at regular intervals. They may show everything from a TV channel or
somebody's living room to the weather in a city in northern Norway.
You can view these images with a regular webbrowser, you can even have it
update the page at regular intervals, but WebTV offers a more specialized
and optimized approach. Web camera sites are configured in a special
window and viewing one opens a dedicated window, which is sized exactly to
fit the camera image. Update delay, save directory and other parameters
are easily configured individually for each camera.
Requirements
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· AmigaOS 3.0 or higher.
· A JPG datatype like akJFIF or Prodev-JFIF.
· MUI 3.8 or higher.
· An AmiTCP compatible TCP/IP stack (like AmiTCP, Miami or TermiteTCP).
Features
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
· Configure your list of webcams in a very comfortable MUI GUI.
· View as many webcams simultanously as memory allows.
· Image decoding performed by datatypes, view any image format which
has a datatype available.
· Image decoding and network operations are performed asynchronously, so
the GUI never freezes or shows you a busypointer.
· Supports HTTP proxies.
· Supports T/TCP (Transaction TCP) with Miami, for faster sending of HTTP
requests.
· Supports Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since HTTP headers so new images are
only retrieved if they have been updated.
· Save camera images to a seperate directory for each camera.
· Supports importing sites from WebCam.
· Optionally uses the advanced MUI classes Textinput.mcc or
BetterString.mcc and NList/NListview.mcc if available.
· Tested thoroughly by an experienced group of betatesters with all
available debug tools, to ensure troublefree operation.
