Active X ??

[hb328_dtdd]

Hi guys, anyone know if I can install active x on the universal please? Or is there an alternative or something? Reason being I got an IP cam set up and it needs active x installed before you can view it, ie I can see the blue background wallpaper but I cannot see the moving video

If this is a Linksys IP Camera, it can be done using TCPMP and open file with "http://ipaddress:port/img/video.asf" in the address (leave off :port if you use the default and don't type the ""). Unfortunately you can't use username and password so you will have to turn that off first
Hope this helps

anyone else got any views on this matter?
I really need to get activex working on the universal via a web browser

sometimes you can download the java applet from the cam and then copy it into your my midlets folder on the pda and it will work. That is what I had to do to get my hawking hnc230g to work. By the way, the hnc230g sux. They advertise 30 fps and really only get 3 to 6 fps. Others work much better.

or try downloading jeoderuntime java
or
go to the cam view on a pc that works and then view the source of the html, sometimes you can determine the java applet that is set to view the cam. Once you know the name, you can sometimes download from the cam and place it in your pda midlets folder.

Perhaps this help?

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Internet Settings]
"Security_RunScripts"=dword:00000001
"Security_RunActiveXControls"=dword:00000001

Also set next value for checking errors:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"BlockStaticActiveX"=dword:00000000
"ShowScriptErrors"=dword:00000001

Cheers

Thanks for the excellent hint. I had a look into the OCX file for my DLink camera, and sure enough, they use a similar approach. Now all I need to do is point TCPMP to "VIDEO.CGI" and I have streaming video on the Exec completely without the need for any ActiveX...
