Live Amsterdam video feed
Live video from Amsterdam Wanna have some fun. Ok, some geeky fun then..! I came across THIS video feed via one of the mashups on Programmable Web (Google it). It points to a cgi file that somehow also spews out an mjpeg stream. Unfortunately I don't really have much of a clue how this works. Well maybe that was a good thing cos otherwise I wouldn't have had any fun playing around with it. Essentially, I discovered that if I loaded this url in Firefox, waited a few seconds to watch the url stat loading, then hit the refresh button, I got a weird realtime video stream in the browser window. It was flickery, and I think what was happening is that the page (I guess this has something to do with the cgi file) was refreshing very rapidly, spurting this mjpeg stream out. But bah, I don't really get it. What don't I get? Well I don't get that I still can't get any other application to play that video stream with the same url (http://82.92.73.206:443/axis-cgi/mjpg/vide...
