Here's what I use and it works perfectly.

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

Hope that gets you somewhere

I have a foscam also. The .strm method and the pls method both work with the foscam. It's specifically with the "motion" mjpegs that I've had issues with. It's weird, as far as I know they both put out mjpeg streams, so you'd think if it works on one it should work on the other. Thanks though.
