Features

• Supports MJPEG and JPEG video streams.

• Implements a secure authentication mechanism for video streams.
• Offers a Start and Stop method to manage streaming.
• Handles thread-safe image updates to avoid UI thread issues.

Components

MortoGraphyWindow

A PictureBox-derived control that provides an interface for displaying video streams. It includes properties for configuring authentication, overlay text, and stream type.

Properties:

• StreamType (StreamType): Defines the type of stream (MJPEG/JPEG).
• Username (string): Username for authentication.
• Password (string): Password for authentication.
• OverlayText (string): Text displayed over the video feed.
• OverlayFont (Font): Font used for overlay text.
• OverlayBrush (Brush): Color of the overlay text.
• OverlayLocation (Point): Position of the overlay text.

Methods:

• Start(string resource): Starts the video stream from the specified URI.
• Stop(): Stops the video stream.

MortoGraphy

Handles video stream retrieval and processing. This class fetches frames and updates the MortoGraphyWindow control.

Events:

• FrameArrived: Triggered when a new frame is available.

Methods:

• Start(string url): Initiates video streaming from the given URL.
• Stop(): Stops the video stream.

Usage

1. Add MortoGraphyWindow to your form.
2. Set the necessary properties (StreamType, Username, Password, etc.).
3. Call Start("http://your-stream-url") to begin streaming.
4. Call Stop() when finished.

var videoWindow = new MortoGraphyWindow
{
    Username = "admin",
    Password = "password",
    StreamType = StreamType.Mjpeg,
    OverlayText = "Live Stream",
    OverlayFont = new Font("Arial", 16, FontStyle.Bold),
    OverlayBrush = Brushes.Red,
    OverlayLocation = new Point(20, 20)
