Ipcam split screen / quad

I normally try to avoid thinking.

Someone is at the door - xbmc asks
"What do you want todo today:"
"[ ] - shoot him with the home automated gattling"
"[ ] - let siri handle him"
"[ ] - turn on the external monitor so that he can watch the movie with you"
"[ ] - route him to the xbmc of the neighbor and let him decide"
"[x] - move your ass and go look yourself who it is"

Well this is just kidding of course . Such a SciFi like scenario is a nice idea, but it scares me a bit though. And honestly it looks like this is all only one step away from currents XBMC implementation. But its not. This are multiple huge subprojects (just look how long pvr integration lasts - home automation is even more complex imho).

My suggestion:
1. Convince team XBMC that this is the way XBMC wants to go
2. Bring a clean and well thought concept for all this (minimalistic is better then "gimme all features i can think of") - concept not only from the GUI but also how to integrate this into the current source base (and here they mostly go away and rant...)
3. Get someone to work on it or code it yourself and provide patches

I seem to recall a similar post by XBMC_FREAK a few months back with a similar setup to what the OP is looking for. As is said so often ... "search is your friend". His setup was quite extensive (translation: complicated), but he was willing to answer questions via PM at the time.

ok i did try in VLC (windows) and it works.. any idea?
BTW I did a search but did not find anything??

@memphiz, i like the option let sis handle him ;-)
how can i achieve suggestion 1 ;-)

@jpcolin is that a Foscam camera (guessing based of the url)? I have two at home, I'll double check I can get them to work in XBMC this evening when I get home.

In the meantime can you post your full log to pastebin? Maybe there is something more in there that someone else can help out with.
