http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html
It isn’t perfect though.
Fortunately in this project, I will be in control of the format and parameters of the stream, which should make it easier.
When I implement it, I will write it up here, so please keep checking back on this site and at the code repo:

Seems like a great project. Have been working on something similar but for monitoring visitors and potential stalkers instead :-) I’ve had limited success with video streaming. In general, setting up a streaming server that streams to a PC isn’t hard, its getting the android tablet to display the stream..would you please share your ideas on that front?

It works with the lightingPi software I wrote (https://github.com/scottjgibson/lightingPi). 2 Servo channels for X and Y and one PWM for laser brightness. It can be controlled with DMX and openOSC, but you can hack any control into it easily. I need to take a demo video with my cat. :D

And I love your writing :)
I would love to interact with my monkeys whilst being away.

They are signal wires used to carry data (when syncing for example). Shorting them works with Nexus phones because that’s how they work. – they assume that if this is shorted then it is not connected to a USB port on a computer but to an AC adapter.

I’m sure there are ways of modifying chargers to get more current as well, but I am not aware of any.

On thing interesting to note is that Apple devices like iPhones, iPods etc look for voltages across the two data lines in order to decide how much current to draw, as can be seen on ladyada:

Thanks,
Tris

The person opened up the USB charger itself and soldered the two terminals to remove the limitation. On putting it back together he had a higher output as well. In his situation, the charger wasn’t putting out enough juice.
However what you’re saying is that it was the cable in your scenario. Do you think you could have had similar results using the above mentioned method? that perhaps without cutting up the cable, it would not be receiving a signal on those two wires and therefore take in more current? Definitely would like to understand this better.
