Talking Full Live Streaming in Win7 MCE and mPanel working

Airlink released an update in Aug 2010, but I ignored it thinking the cameras were working as good as I'm going to get in mControl after years of tinkering, so why bother. I was only getting the IE interface in MCE to work with the cameras which wasn't very nice looking or as user friendly. There has always been an issue with the Airlink mjpeg stream, which I thought couldn't be corrected and was no fault of mControl. Just for fun the other day, I loaded the following newest 1.1.0 Firmware dated 08/12/10 and it fixed everthing http://www.airlink101.com/support/in...d=files&id=144. I finally got mControl working as I intended. I'm running the mPanel software on a Win7 wallmounted touchscreen which also if functioning without a hitch. I can't believe it. Thanks for everyones help!!!

I've been using the same one as sharrisct25 posted for quite some time.

You do have to tweak the xml a bit compared to what is above and I too can not get the zoom to work here is my xml
