    while (true)
    {
        //Read the video stream
        capture = cvCaptureFromFile("http://192.168.1.129:8080/webcam.mjpeg");
        frame = cvQueryFrame( capture );

        // create a window to display detected faces
        cvNamedWindow("Sample Program", CV_WINDOW_AUTOSIZE);

        // display face detections
        cvShowImage("Sample Program", frame);

        int c = cvWaitKey(10);
        if( (char)c == 27 ) { exit(0); }

    }

    // clean up and release resources
    cvReleaseImage(&frame);

    return 0;

}
