Re: php4 v4l module?

That is exactly what I used. Vidcat. Only, I had the image grabbed from the FB device only on request if it hadn't been requested in X minutes. The script handled the last file time based on just that, the time of the file that I saved the image in. I was finding that with even moderately low traffic, the FB/vidcat would freeze up. Some of the time code got ripped and used in this silly Dr-Fun script: http://www.nirvani.net/software/dr-fun-1.0.0.php.asc It is really sad what happens sometimes when a coder gets bored. Just rip out the part that grags the REMOTE image, and replace it with your vidcat interface. That seems like it would do the job for you. I don't have that old script any more, nor does my TV card install right now, so this is the most I can help. Good luck...
