Media Player for mjpeg which can hide everything but the video image in quarter scree

[lagu2653]

Is there a media player which can play motion jpeg network streams (from an Axis 206 network camera http://www.axis.com/products/cam_206/) and where it's possible to hide the entire frame around the video image? All I want to see is the video image. Kind of like fullscreen mode except for I don't want it to cover the entire screen, only a quarter of it.

Media Player Classic should do the trick if you've got DirectShow filters installed that can play that stream - just hit "1" and everything but the window's resize border will disappear, leaving only the video surface... then just drag it's borders to adjust it to your liking.

How do you open a network stream with it? in VLC I do: File > Open Network Stream > HTTP > and enter the URL http://85.37.179.106/mjpg/video.mjpg

How do you open a network stream with it?
File > Open File...

Just type an URL, like it says at the top of the dialog... :)

EDIT: Of course, you'll still need a DirectShow source or splitter that can handle the freaking mess (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_JPEG#M-JPEG_over_HTTP) that is produced by webcams... :(

Why isn't the MJPG file format listed in View > Options > Formats.

Because *drum roll* it's not a file format.

What that HTTP URL with the mjpg ending does is send you an endless stream of JPG files, one after the other - which is something that browsers happily support (mainly thanks to Netscape's fishcam back in the day), but which doesn't lend itself to writing to disk, or opening in a media player:


http://85.37.179.106/mjpg/video.mjpg

So unless you find some kind of DirectShow filter that's able to handle that kind of crap directly you're basically restricted to opening a chromeless browser window that fills a quarter of your screen... VLC of course is free to support it since it comes with all it's own sources, filters, splitters and codecs and thus doesn't depend on any kind of your system's infrastructure (except for the graphics and audio drivers, of course) for handling whatever sources you throw at it...
