IP camera stream
#1
Hi,
I am testing the streaming of a web cam. Link is the following:

http://<IP_Address>:8081/video4.mjpg

Everything works fine using VLC or chrome browser but in HL does not work. Any suggestion?

Furthermore I can use the following link:

http://<IP_Address>:8081/imagep/picture.jpg

This works but this is only an image. In this case can I refresh it every x second? Where can I set it?

Thanks.

Does the camera require username/password? If so, it won't work unless Chrome is run with a specific command-line argument, some info here:

Thank you Admin,
but it is not clear. Streaming video works with Chrome. It does not work in homelynk. Is it the problem related to chrome-homelynk?
How can I sort it out? Trying to using an alternative browser or?
Thanks.

Chrome will only allow images with auth (http://user:pass@camera/stream.jpeg) to be viewed directly, but it will block such images if they are inserted into a page like it is in the visualization. You can try Firefox instead.

Thanks.
