Okay, ignoring my neverending quest for a cam program that actually does EVERYTHING I want for the moment, here's a request for one that at least does one thing I want:  a remote image overlay.  And one that's actually stable would be nice.  I need to pull an image from a remote url and then have it overlay that to the cam image.  webcamXP's feature for this does not seem to be working.  It throws me an error every time I give it a remote image.  "Webcam Publisher" (uh, great name dude) was promising to do this, but clearly the weather overlay is not actually updating in the image.  I was checking out ImageSalsa briefly, but its lovely Java menu kept crashing FF, and the demos haven't been updated in years, so I'm not exactly jumping at giving them my money.

RE: neverending quest -- if anyone knows a cam program that does all the following things, please send word via email, PM, IM, carrier pigeon, etc. immediately:

• Network camera support.  In other words, it will pull an image from a remote url
• Multiple camera support.  Ok, a lot of programs technically do this, but not in the way I need, which is control over the profiles for each camera.  So I can give each cam its own FTP location, upload interval, filename, etc.
• Reasonably advanced image/caption controls.  I want to be able to overlay multiple captions/images, and apply different effects (cropping, rotation, etc.) to images
• Relay.  I can run the software on one PC to bounce its attached devices to an instance of the software on another PC
• A PROFESSIONALLY WRITTEN, STABLE PROGRAM WITH SUPPORT.  Oy.  I've never seen such a bunch of amateurish programs as I have in webcam software.  Can't people design a standard GUI?  Or perhaps NOT requiring me to edit text config files (don't get me wrong, the flexibility is nice... but for the love of god, not for basic things)?  Maybe something that's actually stable and out of beta?  A program that doesn't look like it was written by my grade 11 Visual Basic classmates?
