Hi,
I'm trying to use your code to stream mjpg from a c++ application. The code is running and the server is accepting connections, however I can't seem to access the video (either from the browser or VLC).
Could you specify the exact URL of the stream? Sorry if it's a bit basic...

Thanks!

JPery commented

You should have access to the stream via web browser.

The URL is http://ip-address:port/, where "ip-address" is the IP of your machine (or "localhost") and "port" is the port that you give to the constructor of the class. In the example code is 7777.

MJPEGWriter test(7777);

An example URL could be http://localhost:7777/

Thanks for the reply. I guess I have a problem elsewhere since I can't connect there... I'll keep looking

Hey, I got it to work eventually. It was some linux-windows porting issues I guess.
Thanks again!

I haven't tested the code on Windows so it could be the problem. It should work fine in Linux if you want to try
