Processing video feed with GRIP on DS Laptop

We can view the cam's feed on the smartdashboard, but I don't know how to get the video feed into GRIP to process it.
We are using the Microsoft HD Lifecam 3000 and I believe have all the latest software installed, but I could have missed something.

Hi there! You can stream the USB camera to your dashboard by following the "Simple camera server program" example here:

In GRIP you can then add an IP camera with the URL of the video stream that the robot creates. You can find this URL in OutlineViewer ({user.home}/wpilib/tools/OutlineViewer.jar).

Also, do you mind posting (or PMing me) your code? I would like to see if there is a way to get your code to run on the roboRIO without issue.
