Live Streaming phone to phone

I am creating an application in which I want to display a live stream video from an Android phone using the application IP Webcam to a webpage. I have tried setting the src of the <video> tag in the website to the ip address of the stream (http://192.168.1.9:8080/video), but it doesn't work although I have tried it on VLC and it works.

Can you please help me with a way to display the streaming video on a webpage.

The help is much appreciated!

It seems that IP Webcam serves its video stream as Motion JPEG, not MPEG or H.264 or WebM. Which just means you need to use an <img> tag instead of <video>. It still animates just like a video (at least in Firefox and Chrome).

<img src= "192.168.1.9:8080/video" width="640" height="480">

You can also repeatedly load http://ipaddr:port/shot.jpg to just grab still frames.
