Hi guys, I have a creative live ip camera and i want to be able to view it live when i am in XBMC, I uses XBMC on a flash drive. so when the system starts, it boot into XBMC , I have no problem beside the clock's telling the wrong time and the weather stopped working. I don't fancy the two but what i would like is to be able to view live from my ip camera. below are the configurations of my camera.

the camera uses password to log on before i cam view live in a browser.
url: 192.168.101:81
user: admin
pass: admin
camera type: creative live wireless : 73VF018000000

i changed to port so i can view the camera remotely.

does anyone know how to setup the camera or what settings i need to use?

if its an IP camera you can use the HTTP API call to open a URL to the IP served by the camera or you can put the URL in a 'playlist' and XBMC will do from there.
I've done both of these methods via a free Android app that turned my EVO into an IP webcam and got it to present in XBMC
