Re: [Motion-user] newbie problems

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

1. You can't see the stream, probably, because you are trying from
another machine?
Try to set "stream_localhost off". Will that work?
I wonder how does it "say no cameras running"? Provide either log or
screenshot of the message

2. What URL is used for camera? Please provide the full log

Do not use VLC for verification. Always test with "ffplay"
