Hi,

yes, this is a second try just to see maybe it works, the original use case
is that i run two mjpg_streamer streams on different ports and put them in
thread1 and thread2, but motion can not connect to the second stream as you
see from the previous log about connection close header. At the same time
on Firefox and doing wget works just fine, i can not understand what is the
problem. Using "videodevice" instead of "netcam_url" everything is working
fine as expected.

Is anybody here running two webcams via mjpg_streamer and using motion for
capturing ?

Many Thanks,
Karolis
