There are a few examples of dynamic texture loading in rviz.  For example,
the ROSImageTexture (src/rviz/image/ros_image_texture.h/cpp) translates
sensor_msgs/Image messages into Ogre textures.  Note that I use an old API
for it currently, the new one is documented in the Ogre manual:
http://www.ogre3d.org/docs/manual/manual_64.html#SEC293

Without some code it's impossible to know what's going wrong.

Please don't shout.
