A webcam monitoring application

Silver is a small gtk application which will download a remote image from a website and display it in a window - refreshing every few seconds.

It can be setup to view webcams which upload their captures to a website via ftp or something similar.

Motivation

I've been interacting with a few people courtesy of my webcam and it's a little frustrating to be unable to save the images that are shown when you're using Mozilla or some other browser. By the time you've right-clicked upon an image and chosen 'save as ..' its likely changed to something less interesting..

Features

New in 1.1 you may specify the list of sites to view via the configuration file, either /etc/silverrc, or ~/.silverrc.

The GUI has been cleaned up a little bit and we'll soon have the ability to resize images on the fly ..

Requirements

To build the source you'll need:

  • GTK 2
  • libghttp
  • gcc

If you're running Debian GNU/Linux just run :

	apt-get install libghttp-dev libgtk2.0-dev
