Drift HD Ghost WiFi Application API

See my technical notes here, which include how to get root on a Drift HD Ghost with no modifications to the unit.

The following is a list of URLs which might be handy if you connect your machine to the Drift HD Ghost's WiFi network.

Live Video URL (works great in VLC)

rtsp://192.168.42.1/AmbaStreamTest

Browse Memory Card

http://192.168.42.1/DCIM/100DRIFT/

If it's interesting, this is how this mount point is made in the firmware:

umount /var/www/DCIM 2>/dev/null
mount --bind /tmp/fuse_d/DCIM /var/www/DCIM
mount --bind /tmp/fuse_a/DCIM /var/www/DCIM

Why is video stream delay about 3 seconds in VLC player and about 1 second in Liquid android app? Is there any way how to reduce it?
