Re: [Motion-user] Motion not showing web page, nor captured videos

[Ian S. <ian...@gm...>]

Dear Ronnie and Roger,

Many thanks for your help.

I commented the stream port in the motion.conf file and enabled a stream 
port in the camera conf files, and now if I view on the localhost or a 
remote computer, I can see the streams, but I cannot see the webcontrol 
data on port 8080.

I then tried the webcontrol port on 8040, and I can see the webpage from 
localhost, but no configuration/ streams.

Is there a reason for it not showing the streams - I am sure it used to 
show them?

And is there a way to review the captured videos without manually having 
to play each one?

Many thanks,

Kind Regards,
