If the stream is a true stream, then this may be of help ... if you can't write code/scripting to make a stream of your own, then see below. ffmpeg (on linux) may help create a stream; it's pretty versatile, but I've only used it to convert youtube videos into local files.

Otherwise, you may wind up wrapping the images and then coming up with a simple Java display that displays the latest image from the socket. We did this in 2009 & 2012. It's another layer of complexity, so I'd recommend trying to get a video stream going first.
