I have a local server which just publish video to a address http://localhost:8080

I can get the video on any browser in the local network. Is there a way to create a virtual video device which will use the video published at that address as input and can be accessed by any webcam application or video chatting application.

    I think what you are looking for is called a "video loopback" device you may get lucky with this. Here is the link:http://allonlinux.free.fr/Projets/AVLD/ Let me know if it's working – orvi Aug 03 '15 at 07:28
  • AVLD didn't worked .I used v4l2loopback virtual device < .https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback > But i cannot put my video url < http://localhost:8080 > as input . But I created a vitual video device /dev/video1 and loopbacked the video on /dev/video0 to newly created video device. – benG Aug 04 '15 at 11:40
