RE: [PLUG] Video Stream "forwarder"??? (possibly off topic?)

["George Gallen" <ggallen@slackinc.com>]

ok. What about....

Setup a perl program that...

OPEN camera for Read - non-blocking
OPEN /dev/null for Write - non-blocking

Setup a Loop to READ to from camera and write to /dev/null
Inside that loop check for any for any connections, and write to each 
   connection that needs it.

Now. I have no clue how you would know when to route the feed
  to a connection....but at least you could have a constant read with
  the data being available realtime, without having to store the data

I thought about that, but I was hoping for something more along the lines 
of what I mentioned... partially because I'd like it to work that way and 
partially because if there isn't something to do that then I like the 
challenge of actually making that possible even if it makes very little 
sense to do so.

And actually, you'd be surprised at what ppl find relaxing. Being one who 
keeps several active aquariums I know quite a few ppl who have expressed 
interest in checking out the camera at various times... It's a matter of 
personal taste I guess...
