I can't get my IP cams to show in EZ Builder. These are MJPEG cameras so it should work I guess. EZB initializes the parameters but nothing shows in the window. Here are the parameters :
http://192.168.0.177:8081/video.cgi?user=correctuser&pwd=correctpassword
when i type this in Chrome or IE it works.
Any clue ? Someone ?

I still get the same JPGStream Read Error message. I notice in browser that if I previously logged off it asks me for my credentials so ther must be something with the format arroudn passwd and id. I'll test without them later on.
Thanks again

When you view the URL in your web browser, what do you see (video or image)? For example, you mentioned the link works in a web browser (internet explorer, firefox, safari, chrome, etc).
I'll need to know if you see a video in the web browser, or a single image.
videostream.cgi will be in FFMPEG or MJPEG
snapshot.cgi will be jpeg
IPAddress:554/11 will be VLC
A little more searching on google (yes I needed a break from what I'm doing that badly) you could try IP:port/tmpfs/auto.jpg
I'm not too familiar with Safari, but can you save the image that is shown in the browser? Most are right click and save image as. If you can it's a single jpg and it's what you want for ARC (if I have interpreted what DJ said in the other topic correctly).
If not, hang in there for a couple of days and I'll have mine and I'll see what I can find when I have the device in front of me to hack
@Pittom, did you ever get yours going in ARC?
1) As for the error, I'm wondering if there is any message in the debug window? Does the Debug popup and display information about the error?
2) Because ARC is requesting the image and attempting to process so quickly, I'm also wondering if the image size may be an issue. I don't see why, but it would be worth looking into. Can you try changing the source image to a lower resolution within the camera?
Those are the only two questions I have for now...
PS, empty your garbage
No error message in the debug, just usual initialization conf. I'll follow your suggestions and I let you know. I already use a low resolution (320x240) on the source, though. It is to save power.
For the PS : it is just to show to the entire world that I recycle !
We are going to add MJPEG (motion jpeg) to the next release of ARC. If you aren't able to solve the issue with standard snapshot JPEG's, you will be able to use MJPEG soon.
@DJ MJPEG ,that will be great
Use;
Code:
Change YourIPAddress to whatever it's set as, i.e. 192.168.0.44
Change admin to your username (if it's not already admin)
Change 123456 to your password (if you changed it)
Paste that into the camera selection (red box)
Set the resolution to 320x240 (green box)
See live image (you won't see me though, yellow box)
There are two ways to do it. One is the way I mentioned above
Code:
And the other
Code:
Unless you have a weird firmware on the camera (although I've yet to find a reliable source for firmware).
In your browser the snapshot.cgi was a static jpeg wasn't it?
I guess if you can't sort it at least the update will fix that
