Hello

[Clynch88]

Hi my names cory Im a php programmer and java developer, and needed a host to beta test a social networking script that I am working on that should nock the socks off of myspace and facebook, with Webcam,Video,Music,Blog,profiles. and over 30 more other features.

Welcome. For webcam, you need some sockets open, which no host provides will allow. You need a VPS i think. If you are looking to activate it "the other way", then firewall will block it and i mean both pc and server firewall. Its very much resource inversive too.

Thanks m8 but yeah most host's dont but it wont be a totally live feed it will be based off like webcamxp or something that uploads a still image ever 10-30-60 seconds to the site, untill I can find a way to deal with the firewall on client and server side. which isnt too hard, my buddy is working on a program rightnow that we are going to beta test that is like stickam service, which they dont host there own servers.

I got a script which has both php and javascript cam feed, with flash as UI but it was blocked by my firewall as a attack, and even after i allowed it, the server ban me cause it took it as a open attack! You need a software on windows .net framework, and asp (windows hosting) with open posts, which you wont get anywhere, for free or paid. So i dont think you can connect to webcam to take pictures... Best of luck with it though.

Welcome to Meekhost Cory
Like Somik says there are not a lot of hosts that allow the use of streaming Webcam images. But there may be away to use Meekhosts video conversion tools to your advantage

Thanks, I will work on that and see if i can come up with a work around.

I think Meek will be able to tell you if you can do it or not. As far as i know, you need a custom open port which brings in security issues...

lol well dont feel too bad the password i signedup with isnt working and i cant seem to be able to reset it. atleast the cpanel password and it doesnt come in the email
