    Howto view video stream from my webcam in a browser ?

    Hi,

    I am trying to view the video stream from my webcam, but the browser (firefox and chrome) do no show any video.
    Is there some plugin missing or anything else ?
    The attached file shows what I get in the browser.
    I can pan/tilt the camera via the browser screen, but no video (not in mjpg mode, nor in mpg4 mode)

    In order to view it in windows, I need to install the quicktime plugin

    The camera is
    https://www.marmitek.com/en/product-...robocam-21.php
    does anyone has experience with this cam on linux ?

    I can view videos from you tube and http://trailers.apple.com/


    When I look at a protcol trace with Wireshark, I see that the cam is telling the browser it will use quicktime (see attached screenshot)

      Thx for thinking along.

      browser-plugin-vlc is already installed, do I need to activate something in chrome or firefox ?
      I saw no vlc plugins or extensions in either browser, so I installed a couple of them without luck.
