    Hi

    does anyone know a way to setup a webcam as screensaver, the url for it is rtsp://94.228.215.67:1935/live/livecam009.stream so I see the live stream.

    I searched google but could find anything, the closet thing I found is V-CamShow but doesn't support rtsp.

    Trying to get it to work on a windows 7 and/or 8



    Thanks

    Here is my work around... that works...using MPC from http://mpc-hc.org/ 64 bit.. your path may have to be changed..where mine is -hc64.exe.
    Go to Donation Coder and get RunSaver.scr
    http://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/index.html#RunSaver
    Installation:
    Just like any other screensaver, just place it in your Windows-folder (C:\Windows\System32), and install and configure it through the Screensaver settings in the Control panel.
    Select the RunSaver as your screen saver, click settings and paste
    C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe
    rtsp://94.228.215.67:1935/live/livecam009.stream /fullscreen

    Click Ok

    or edit the RunSaver.ini file to read:
    [Settings]
    command= C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe
    rtsp://94.228.215.67:1935/live/livecam009.stream /fullscreen

    Hitting the spacebar to "wake up" only pauses the video... escape to exit.
