Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. First locate how bob handles video sources and compare its behavior with the reported DroidCamX HTTP URL; the work is done when that source works in bob as it does in VLC, with a regression test or documented verification path.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description
