   I have a streaming webcam set up that I want to embed in my blog. Here is the page:

   http://thenorthcountryhomestead.com/?page_id=47

   I can't seem to get the video to play. I know its something in the html or whatever but I'm not sure where. Most likely in the path to the streaming file.

   My computer has a static ip and the ports tincam requires are open.

   Thanks!

   Bah whizzers. "ChickCam" wasn't what I hoped for. :-(

   Still, try changing the two instances of:
   74.71.82.133 C:\webcam_0.wvx

   to:
   http://www.thenorthcountryhomestead.com/webcam/webcam_0.wvx

   Your sources are referencing the "C" partition on your computer. -As pointed out by alism. I was however, overwhelmingly intrigued by the urge to investigate the "chicks" reference!

   Try this:

   <p><object height="285" width="320" type="application/x-oleobject" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." classid="clsid:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" id="MediaPlayer0"><param value="True" name="autoStart"/><param value="http://www.thenorthcountryhomestead.com/webcam/webcam_0.wvx" name="filename"/><embed height="285" width="320" name="MediaPlayer0" src="http://www.thenorthcountryhomestead.com/webcam/webcam_0.wvx" type="application/x-mplayer2"/><br /><br /></object></p>

   Be very patient. WMP buffering is excruciating slow. Worked Okay for me in firebug.

   Nice chicks! :-)

   Got it working using ClaytonJames info. I just copied and pasted!!

   I'll put a note for viewers to wait a bit for the video to load.

   Thanks guys!
