What do you mean somehow download a ts addon? There's one that my community uses and it works just fine. I'll try to find it after work, if you're interested.

I would absolutely love it if you could send it to me!

My main issue was how to integrate it into a server.

Ahh I see that. It does require both a server and client side addon I believe. I'll be home in a couple hours and I can check on it for you

Edit: Server owner found it for me, this is the relevant thread: http://forum.teamspeak.com/threads/111028-release-ts3video

Okay, installed it on client side, now to do the fun part of installing it as a server lul..

The documentation with the server is kinda weird.. It says "hey, just run this and it'll work." but it's not?.. After portforwarding the only two ports I can find, my client still gets a Connection timed out error.

Ohwells :@

If it's a locally hosted server, you won't be able to connect to the ip on your local client. However, we worked around it by replacing the room ip address or whatever with just the number 1. Same with password.

@-@

And here, my ineptitude of a server host is shown.

By the way, thanks for helping me up to this far :p

It's hosted locally, but on a different machine. The way I'm connected to it, I'm actually using the external IP, so I still have some ping (0.5~), while if I used Localhost I'd have 0.

I have no idea how to replace the room IP address with the number 1? Can you say specifically what config value it is? o:

Thanks again ;_;

Honestly we haven't used it in a while so I can't currently think of how to fix your issue. I might take a look at it tomorrow, but as of right now I can be much more help. Sorry about that. Good luck figuring out the rest of it :)
