Your suggestions are working like a charm. If I build a new version, this will go definitively in. Thanks.
I think it's a problem of different formats. I tried it with VLC, but also no go.SFR wrote:What I was thinking lately is to find a way to access a livestream and take a snapshot -> Wallrefresh.
My dream/request would be using a livestream directly as a desktop background. Icons and widgets could be made visible by moving the cursor to a corner and click, similar to different layers in a graphic program. Easy to stop/start if you need more CPU/GPU power or internet bandwidth. But this is far beyond my knowledge . I see WallRefresh at the beginning of this way.
btw. your link is really great! Some webcams provide livestream which can be seen by VLC (I guess also by Mplayer).
