Unreal Media Downloads
StreamingMediaPlayer_6_1.zip
Version 6.1 of the Standalone Streaming Media Player for Unreal Media Cams. Install this if you can't get the plug in to automatically install, or if you want to watch cams on the standalone player from this list
StreamingMediaPlayer4.msi
Version 4 of the above player. Install this if you have Windows 98. (You cannot have both versions installed, but if for some reason you CAN'T use version 5, our software will detect this and call the plug in for this version.)
UMediaPlayerPlugin.exe
This is the plugin for FireFox Version 3. It's a standalone executable, so download it first, then run the program to install it on Vista and XP.
NOTE: ONLY version 3.0.6 (and probably later) will display the cams, regardless of whether this plug in is installed or not. Make sure you UPDATE your version of FireFox in addition to installing this plug in.
ULiveServer_9_0.zip
This is the live server program for cam owners. Download this file to your computer, and completely extract it (unzip it) to your desktop or other location before running it. DON'T run it from within the ZIP file, or you will have problems later.
LiveReconnect.exe
This file does the automatic reconnection of your cam if your internet drops out. This file normally resides in C:\ If you are running Unreal Media cams on Windows Vista, Vista will probably not let you put the file in C:\ unless you log in as the Administrator. You can place it anywhere, but your batch file will need to be modified accordingly.
Miscellaneous Downloads
amcap.exe
This program will allow you to preview your cam when off line.
NOTE: You cannot use this program at the same time you are streaming your cam. Only one software program at a time can use the capture device.
ezcap-win7-drivers.zip
These are the Windows 7 drivers for the EzCAP video capture device, packaged in a ZIP format. The manufacturer supplies these drivers in a .rar file, which many cannot open.
dazzle.zip
Drivers for the OLD (black) Dazzle DVC-80. This Dazzle does not work on Vista. It also will not stream larger screen sizes such as 640x480, such as you might use with a quad processor.
WM9Codecs.exe
Windows Media 9 Codecs. If you have tried everything and you cannot see the cams or get a black screen, give this package a try.
