So instead of using it as a webcam, your watching the n95 stream- on the n900?

That might work. I mean, I dont have an N97 anymore for testing, but I should be able to get around that (I can just use what I already use the n900 for, and relay it back or something for testing).

I can look into it once I figure out this GUI situation. It should be easily doable, though.

The design issue refers to the fact that smartcam was conceived to provide a pc/laptop with a web cam, this assuming that remote usage was not a criterion.

Hope that is clearer.
Maybe an always running background "monitor" process? Running on the n900, every X seconds it would tcpconnect to the PC smartcam server, if it exists, start smartcamM5+connect? If not, wait a few seconds and check again?
