have also tried droidcam but get the following errors
[pix_film:core!] Cannot detect stream type
[pix_film]: unable to open file:

is it possible for gem to recognize mjpeg stream?

from :

Video : best format for video files (better performance in pd) is MJPEG, this compression is better packed in .avi for windows and .mov for mac.

is there any way of using an android device as a webcam with Gem?
