Hi. Firstly sorry for my bad English.
My problem is that I need to see the IP camera stream in my WinForm.
Currently, I can see the complete web interface, but I need to see only the video part.

* Private Sub Form1_Shown(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown*
* Dim myUri As UriBuilder = New UriBuilder("http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx")*
* myUri.UserName = "xxxxxxx"*
* myUri.Password = "xxxxxxx"*
* WebBrowser1.Navigate(myUri.Uri)*
* End Sub*

I would greatly appreciate your help
Thank you very much for your attention.

The webbrowser is a reuse of the IE installed with windows on your computer.

That is showing camera streams with the plug ins installed for that.

Thanks for your answer. So how could I be able to visualize the stream from the form?

It seems that the camera returns a webpage which shows the video

If you right click on your browser and tell view page source, then you (if it is not made invisible) mostly see all the code which is used.

Be aware that is not VB.

Hi CM16,

Based on your description, you want to view IP Camera Stream on WebBrowser control. But Internet Explorer is the base for the web browser component in win forms. In turn by default it will not understand the MJPEG file format so will ask you to download the file. I find one thread that talking this problem, may be helpful to you.

Thank's for the response Cherry. I solved my problem using Aforge.

(https://www.google.com.ar/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjax42dydvVAhUEEJAKHakdDBgQFgglMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aforgenet.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNFayhixaYZt2DEKgbIzft_Xj48vmg

I was wrong about the selected method to resolve it.

Thank's everyone for the help.

My CODE:

Imports AForge.Video

Public Class form1

    Private Sub form1_Shown(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Shown
        
        Dim sourceURL As String = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/video1.mjpg"
        Dim mjpeg As MJPEGStream = New MJPEGStream(sourceURL)
        mjpeg.Login = "user"
        mjpeg.Password = "password"
        VideoSourcePlayer1.VideoSource = mjpeg
        VideoSourcePlayer1.Start()

    End Sub
