Hi mate,

I might give that a go... I've only ever done minimal media programming in the past though...

As a starting point, could you confirm if my interpretation of what needs to happen is correct:

1) capture image on n900
2) encode image as a .jpg file
3) send the binary file data to the port SmartCam is listening on

does any EOF or BOF data need to be sent to SmartCam between frames?
