Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)

Been doing a lot of work with John at Soul Solutions and thought i would post a screen cast of his latest gadget...Monitoring Queensland Traffic! The gadget is based off the slideshow gadget from Vista. 15 Queensland Cameras are hardcoded in Javascript. By default the slideshow will fade between the cameras every ten seconds but the navigation controls allow manual control to move forward or backward and pause.

Enjoy!

I'd love to get some good ideas of how to take this to the next level, the current suggestions are:
1) show the title of the camera in a nice semi-transparent bar.
2) have the cameras come from an RSS feed of RSS feeds to easily update.
3) support live streaming cameras
4) store images locally to allow replay / time lapse functions.

Let me know what you think!
John.
