Watching a Motion Jpeg stream in Windows Media Player

[BenjaminPopp]

I have a camera that is sending a motion-jpeg stream over a network in real time, and I would like to open the stream and view the video in Windows Media Player. Firefox and VLC are able to show me the video, but Windows Media Player just says "Connecting to..." for forever. I think this is because the stream has no end - its just playing live.

I specifically need to be able to view it in Windows Media Player for a WPF application I'm working on.

I downloaded the codec from

http://www.free-codecs.com/Motion_JPEG_Codec_download.htm

, but I'm not sure how to continue.

My system: Windows XP, WMP 11.0.5721.5268

I know its possible because the other applications do exactly what I want out of the box - how do I get Media Player to behave the same way?

Thanks for any help,

Benjamin
