[gentoo-user] Webcamviewer (or such) ?

[Meino.Cramer@gmx.de]

Hi,

For watching different wildlife webcams of the internet for a longer
period of time I am looking for something, which I tend to call
"webcam viewer"...(Warning! Not-native-english-speaker ahead! ;)

Normally one opens up firefox (or any other browser), enter the
URL and get the interface of the webcam displayed...sometimer with
more than one port to watch. The resolution of these streams are
low most of the time...nonetheless I need a completey firefox and
its memory footprint is not that of a child.
Rendering a complex scene with blender in parallel let my PC with
8GB start swapping from time to time.

I am looking for something, which displays one port/one stream of
such an URL in a window sized according to the physical resolution
of the stream, so I can pin it in one corne of my display without
interfering with the rest and without killing my RAM.

Or is this complete idea nonsense ? ;)

What is the recommended application for such a task?

Thank yo very much in advance for any help!

Best regards,
Meino
