viewing a "motion" webcam stream

[burgertime]

I don't know very much about streams and such however, I had a weird issue with my foscam 8918 like what you report - a bunch of high speed frames, then a pause.

Here's what I use and it works perfectly.

[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://MYWEBCAMIPADDRESS/videostream.asf?user=MYUSERNAME&pwd=MYPASSWORD
Title1=IP Camera

I've got this saved as a .pls file on my NAS computer.


Hope that gets you somewhere
