Thanks! That really does help. I've been looking all over, and I've gotten the impression MJPEG just passed java by, and wasn't really picked up and developed by the java community (which makes finding useful resources a pain...). I've found great libraries for streaming straight JPG images via UDP, but I have a feeling that the DriverStation is pretty locked down and resistant to change. I've also found a few promising and "robust" third party TCP libraries, but I'm almost certain we would end up having to write our own program to encode the series of JPEG images to MJPEG video (I can't find info on this ANYWHERE). Are there any other options for streaming video through port 80 to the driver station (without creating a custom dashboard or something like that)? Thanks!
