Develop webcam chat application

Question

I am trying build small webcam chat (web application). I searched on google and found some solutions but I don't think the documents and blogs suggested meet my needs.

I am looking for complete open source stack with Apache/MIT like license.

I don't want to use flex/flash based code.

Could you recommend: - a good server - Is it possible without flash/flex? If yes then how? I mean any specific Javascript lib for the same. - I would appriciate some pointers are provided with some kind application architecture.

It includes both client and server. I know there are some Servers hosting is available but i don't want to go for that.

Answer 1

I'm almost 100% sure there isn't a built in library for that with js or is it possible to make your own library. you have to have some kind of browser plugin. flash might be the best way to go considering that almost everyone has it. If you really can't use flash try using java. if you can't do that, look for a browser plugin and then instruct clients to install it. if you can't do that then your probably out of options. if this isn't helpful, tell us why you can't use flash.
