Well that's possible by downloading and installing ManyCam (available for Windows and Mac, Cheese might work for Linux). In this program it is possible to make your desktop available as a camera and selecting it in my website by:

1) Go to the broadcasting screen
2) Right click on the flash layer and click settings
3) Go to the camera menu and select the camera mimicked by Manycam
4) Start streaming

I tested it and with the qualities I made available it was unwatchable so I updated the application (version 0.6.1 !!) to allow the following options:

Quality: 30KB/s, 40KB/s, 60KB/s, Max
Resolution: 320x240, 640x480, 1280x960
Frame-rate: 8fps, 12 fps, 16fps, 24fps

I have been broadcasting a porn movie now at Max, 640x320, 8fps and it is very watchable at my other computer on the same network. I would appreciate hearing your feedback.

I also added automatic re-login AND channel join on unexpected connection loss. Finally it is now possible to autojoin a channel and autologin by going to the website with the following url:

www.cam4btc.com?name=NAME_channel=CHANNEL (note _ instead of & as they weren't coming through to my flex application somehow).

Enjoy

There's so many things that can be done with this...

If we can get screen casting and/or sharing implemented with this, imaging the tutoring and tech support services that could flourish.

Done just type in the url: http://www.cam4btc.com/index.html?channel=CHANNELNAME and after the user logs in for the first time it will automatically connect with that channel if it exists

WOW! You are a rock star!

Very nice. Next up: secret Channels.

I think this would be most useful if the entire flash session could be embedded in a webpage rather than redirecting a user to cam4btc.com.

I PM'ed you with an explanation how you can do that.

Thanks and you're welcome.

I could also extend this to automate the signin process fully. The you would need to fill in the variables like http://www.cam4btc.com/index.html?channel=CHANNELNAME&name=NAME but then you would need to determine the username to sign someone in with.

You could for example make a html form with a textfield for people to fill in their name and a "Click here for help with your Bitcoin client" button which would take them to www.cam4btc.com, sign them in with that username and auto-join your support channel. Would this be a useful addition?

We need to have a way to open or join a room via URL.

I would like to be able to use this as a live video support channel like "Click here for help with your Bitcoin client".

There are a million different ways to use this kind of service, with Bitcoin, in a non-sexual way. We just need to put our thinking caps on.

Further additions in v0.5:

* I found out the server is disconnecting a lot. I need to use another server but in the meantime I made an automatic reconnect function. It will thrownotification message to inform the user
* I fixed the incorrect number of viewers and incorrect join/leave messages
* Quality control for the broadcaster. Note that you can only change those when you are not broadcasting (click stop broadcasting)

Asalways hit control+f5 and make sure you are using version 0.5Enjoy

Released version 0.4 (control+F5 to reload).

I now release audio streams properly when switching channels (so you don't hear the audio of both channels through each other anymore).

I also added an http://bitcoinadvertisers.com text only add and made an option to hide it (click hide ad and it's gone). I'd appreciate feedback if this is too distracting of the main content. I struggled with the decision of adding them or not but went with this compromise (text only hideable adds) because it could help towards paying for an actual host. Please feel free to argue against me regarding this decision.

I'm planning on adding loads more (think about showing the donations being made in the blockchain live) but need more time and feedback so please start using the site

I fixed the crash bug. I used a library which was causing memory referencing errors. So I have removed this library a rewrote everything from scratch (took me a while so this better be the cause of everyone’s crashes )
To try the new version go to http://cam4btc.com and check if it says v0.3 in the header after “Cam 4 BTC!”. If it doesn’t, press control+f5 (to bypass the cash of your browser and cause an actual proper refresh).
Other fixes I did:

•   I now show join and leaves from channels in the chat region
•   I now show the number of viewers on the channel for the viewers as well
•   The list of channels will not get out of sync anymore

Please test it and report if there are any more crashes, glitches or bugs. Of course I appreciate feedback as well.

We also had the first two performances that were not me. First a horse and then a skeleton. I'm pretty sure most people are waiting for girls though

Well I could put on a wig, but it'd probably make more sense to get Ms. Yoon on here sometime.

Could you give me more info on the crash? Like what were your exact actions, what browser what Operating system?

Also, after streaming for 1.5-2h my laptop is starting to get really hot and having trouble running so the delay (when you could connect) could be that as well. It is old and I only use it for the test stream because it's the only machine I have with a webcam. I have been in the stream with up to 9 users and they all reported the video was working fine.

BTW if you want to test you can also open the site in two separate browser tabs. Broadcast on the first and watch on the other.

Okay the chat problem is resolved and the quality is set much lower. I have set it to 30KB video quality so let's see if it goes better like this. I can always try to put it back up higher later.

To try the new version press control+F5 (so the browser really refreshes and doesn't use the cashed version). You know you have the newest version if you see V0.2 in the title bar after Cam 4 BTC!

Thanks to everyone who is helping me test this

At the moment I am lowering the video quality (I only tested it on a LAN) and fixing a small bug in the chat. Will post when done.
