Hi All,

I am wondering if someone could help me with getting the foscamrecord.cs script working please? I am using some foscam IP camera (clones). I followed the tutorial and I have edited the foscamrecord.cs script to my needs. By that I mean I pointed the script to my VLC executable, selected the recording path (for now just the local drive) and I also found the IP camera ID.

When I test the scene the camera will pan across but I can never actually get it to record. I am also not sure should I see VLC start in the background? I should add I can select the camera's within InControl and get video etc. The only change I made to the below line was to add my 8181 port number:-

var asfUrl = string.Format("http://{0}:8181/videostream.asf?user={1}&pwd={2}", device.ip, device.userName, device.password);


Can anyone think of anything I am missing?

Thanks for the help
Adam

It seems like there are different versions of VLC that all behave differently with the command-line parameters in the script. It might be good to first test from an actual command line to make sure what parameters your version of VLC requires, then adjust them from within your script to match.
