Web video streaming in Max

Stream realtime video from a web browser into Max or any program that uses Syphon.

CefWithSyphon (developed by Vibeke Bertelsen) launches a web browser and Syphon server. The Max patch operates a Syphon client that receives a video stream from the server and makes it available to Jitter objects.
