looking for simple video capture for MFC (Linux Mint)

[upstart]

I just spent an hour scanning through the long thread on screen capture software for myfreecams. It seems to be focused on solutions that support automated capture of multiple streams. Clearly above my pay grade.

My needs are more modest... I'm looking for a simple Linux-compatible program that can capture an individual MFC stream while the FF browser window is open. There were a few mentions in the MFC thread of basic browser video capture software, but the ones I checked don't run in Linux.

Since I'm new to Linux, my skills in command line installation is pretty limited. A Firefox add-on would be ideal, but I'm willing to learn how to use the command line, if necessary. I have to learn sooner or later anyway

Install nvm https://github.com/creationix/nvm (you will have to logout and login to refresh your environment settings after installation)

Install node

nvm install --lts=Boron

Install ffmpeg (usually you have to download ffmpeg and copy to somewhere like /usr/bin

Install git if required

Install script

git clone https://github.com/sstativa/mfc-node.git

cd mfc-node

npm install

Edit config.yml if required


Then

node main.js

Then open in your browser http://<ip of your linux machine>:9080

I like Vokoscreen the best.
