Ha! This page has a suggestion that worked for my Trendnet camera! I got fullscreen video on my tablet. A slight delay, and not terribly high FPS, but it worked... Code: mkfifo a.mjpeg wget -O a.mjpeg http://admin:pass@192.168.0.197/cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi 2>/dev/null & mplayer -cache 32 -demuxer 35 a.mjpeg Notes:You have to do this in your home directory or something, not on a FAT partition (like /media/mmcX) otherwise mkfifo gives a permission error. The -O after wget is a capital O not a zero. It looks like you only have to make the a.mjpeg file (actually a pipe, not a file) one time, and then just call the wget line each time.
mkfifo a.mjpeg wget -O a.mjpeg http://admin:pass@192.168.0.197/cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi 2>/dev/null & mplayer -cache 32 -demuxer 35 a.mjpeg
