[Motion-user] newbie problems

[vector457 <vec...@gm...>]

Hi all,

installed motion on Ubuntu18

I can see both of my two network cameras using VLC. they are old cams 
but working.

I have attached copy of motion.conf

rtsp://user:password@10.0.0.78/11 {tenvis 1p391w or similar(no further 
info)camera}

rtsp://user:password@10.0.0.90/onvif1   {sricam SP007 or similar(no 
further info on it)camera}

I used camera1-dist.conf file for both, modifying name ,id and netcam url

to create camera1.conf and camera2.conf.

Problem 1 no local host view.

I ran,mark@fatcat:~$ motion

/

The mkv is indeed in my local dir and is capturing images as expected. 
But yet when I go to web browser(firefox) localhost:8080 it says no 
cameras running. I expected to see a live view?

Problem 2

camera 2 the onvif1 errors with

/Unable to open camera(MyCam2): Invalid data found when processing input
/not sure why its works from this url in VLC.


thoughts?
