There's a thread, I believe the title is "Here is a working VLC player"

and the last few pages have been an effort to stream video from the tablet to another computer.

Try searching for this thread or others like it. Hope this helps!

Yeah, somebody actually was complaining because the thread switched directions mid-way through. But it started out as an effort to get VLC working on the tablets and now it's mostly an effort to get video streaming. I think they might have had some success, but I don't recall the details off the top of my head.

so what about using phone cam attached to n800 > home network?

thanx

well... a REALLY convoluted way to do it would be to use gizmo on the tablet and on your home computer and then screen-capture the video of the gizmo client on your computer :P

But more seriously, Gizmo works as well, if not better than Skype, IIRC, what exactly are you trying to do with the video?

ah... that you want to monitor from your phone?

or from your computer?

If from your phone, you'd have to talk to someone a little better with linking programs and technology together, but if you want to watch from your computer, Gizmo will work fine. The Gizmo client is free for the computer and it's already on your tablet

I'm the one who made such a mess of the VLC thread, trying to get streaming video / audio from the N800. The final answer? There is no (easy) way currently to stream video and audio from the N800 to a computer, other than using Gizmo or the Internet Call client.

I assume you want more than just streaming video, because a baby monitor isn't much use without audio.

no,, vid only w/o sound is fine for this--no actual baby involved.
thanx for the replies
