Hi, i made a litle video chat application, if someone want to test it, it's available here:
http://www.balrogsoftware.com/mycamchat.html
On this page you can view if the server is online or not.
It is on beta stage if someone can connect to the server to see how it works, it don't need a webcam to connect with the server...

Looks very nice BarlogSoft
App hung on Disconnect, so I just clicked Quit. On re-connecting, my User name did not appear in the window as it did the first time I connected. Both times I was able to enter and send text.

Hi, i just update the server and client with some bugs found solved, i think that it will work better. One of the bugs are that a user that join to the server, sometimes don't receive the user list.

Hi, i updated the server and client, now a client video stream is only sent if one user request, decreasing the bandwidth used for server and client, i added more messages for MyCamChat protocol. Now server can set the FPS and quality of webcam videostream, to configure the server for your inet connection speed.

To Plouf: i will take a look to videostream capture code to avoid crash when the image format isn't RGB. It's probably that it crash for this reason, but on some computers it don't crash when you use a non RGB format... It could be your camera drivers that are not correctly coded (i know that some cameras have poor drivers).
To Killswitch: It's very easy, i discovered a usefull command to add image patterns to your window, without use a callback procedure:
Code: Select all
patternbrush = CreatePatternBrush_(UseImage(1))
SetClassLong_(hwnd,#GCL_HBRBACKGROUND,patternbrush)
and delete the brush object after use your application:
and to make it without a window style use the flat of borderless and use this:
Code: Select all
Rgn = CreateRoundRectRgn_(0, 0, 200, 280, 30, 30)
SetWindowRgn_(hWnd, Rgn, #True)
HideWindow(0, 0)
To Sec: If i have some time to install Linux again and install PB for linux, i can try to port this program... but i'm not sure...
