Low level program to ream mjpeg stream

[Rufe0]

Hi all
Well first I’ll just say I am a complete Linux beginner, but I have done vbs, js, php, html web type stuff so I’m not a complete beginner to programming.

However I've been trying to learn C and python but it’s not making a huge amount of sense.

I am wanting to make a simple low level program that copies an image from a mjpeg stream on 192.168.0.1/videostream.cgi for example to a variable then save that variable to a file on my system.

I am aware that there are programs out there that would do this but I still want to make my own.

Any help?
Thanks Rufe0
