Since you love xml... .... here you can find a lot of url patterns for many ipcameras:

Hmm. It isn't really Fettuccine's job to generate a URL by itself (at least, given the way I've designed it); the Fettuccine XML file should already contain the full URL for a particular webcam source. The only thing stopping Fettuccine from displaying a particular camera (such as Foscam) is that I don't yet have it supporting streaming video.

Actually, if I'm reading that file right, you could use the "snapshot" support on the Foscam devices; for example, if you're connecting to a FI8910W camera, you'd just need to give Fettuccine the following URL:

Code:
http://[LINK.TO.CAMERA]/snapshot.cgi?user=[USERNAME]&pwd=[PASSWORD]&count=0
That should pull up the most recent image on the device. You'd just need to fill in the LINK.TO.CAMERA, USERNAME, and PASSWORD yourself.

I'm not sure just how much Fettuccine could automate this process for you...

Do you think you could add a tag into the widget saying date and time of last successful update and an on-click action?
Actually, I could! Yeah, I left the widget pretty bare, with just the image alone. That did make it quick and easy to implement, but it shouldn't be too much more effort to actually create a user interface on top of it. Let me take a look...
