Cheeze works great HP 4510s

Cheese seems to work great OOB on my HP probook 4510s using the internal webcam and OpenSuSE11.1 (11.2/11.3.6 don’t install). Anyway - I would really like to have a simple way to send either the video stream or periodic snapshots out over the internet, either to a website or a chat client or …? I am going to be doing a field experiment and will want folks to be able to see what I’m doing. If there is a simple way to do this, I would appreciate a tip. I have set up servers before and it can get way too complicated for the amount of time I have left to get this going…

TIA

Hi
I built an application called grabby on the Build Service;

Here is the homepage, look at the Examples area;

Tried this - it fails build dependencies on libftp.so.3 64-bit. I’m guessing it’s for 11.2 (and not 11.1?) Other than that, it looks like some very cool software!

PS: On Windows, Yawcam seems to do very nicely streaming or http’ing the webcam.
