Streaming Live Video

I know it's a long shot, but does anybody have any idea on how to approach adding a live feed stream. Lets say add a webcam stream, or maybe even link somehow streams from justin.tv (since they can be watched on the iphone, thru the app tho) I'm building a team fan app n want to offer live streams of the games, when possible. Thanks in advance.

Not a long shot. Have you tried just entering the URL in a Custom URL screen? You may be surprised to find that the native browser understands exactly what to do with the stream. May not work, depends on the format of the stream. Lots of folks do this with zero trouble. Lots of folks never figure it out. HInt: You can't use a URL that loads a web-page with a 'player' or something. It's gotta be the raw video.
