Live Video Streams Using The WebBrowser Component

Hi,

I’m trying to use the WebBrowser component to “watch” some live webcams footage, but sadly I cannot make it work. I constantly get an error that says something along the lines of “Your browser can’t play this video.” (it changes across various websites). Fact is that I’m encountering zero problems with normal videos that are not live (like a random video on YouTube or Vimeo), but as soon as I click a live video (let’s say on YouTube), I get that error.

Does anybody knows how is so? And if there’s some workaround? I haven’t found anything inside the forum or online about it. I’m currently working on an installation and using live footage is a fundamental part of it.

Thanks!
