Re: [Motion-user] Motion no longer working with Axis 2100 network camera

[tosiara <to...@gm...>]

First, are you sure /axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi is providing MJPEG?
Try "ffprobe http://192.168.1.6/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi" and provide the output
Next, try to set this "netcam_url
mjpeg://192.168.1.6:80/axis-cgi/jpg/image.cgi" and provide fresh log
file
