Hello Tosiara, Thank you very much for so patiently and persistently tracking down the cause and suggesting a solution to the problem! I used the 1st variant ( netcam_url mjpeg://lg-230:8080/video ) you suggested in the /etc/motion/conf.d/camera1.conf file and now it works! Open source software which I have been using for 2 decades is such a wonderful ecosystem to be using; because of various dedicated and selfless contributors - you being one of them... I truncated all the intermediate email exchanges we had so others (should they encounter the same problem) can find the simple fix you suggested below. Wishing you and all other FOSS contributors a happy new year. Many thanks, JMB On 12/26/25 09:29, tosiara wrote: > Try to change netcam_url to one of the following and see if that > changes anything: > > netcam_url mjpeg://lg-230:8080/video > or > netcam_url mjpg://lg-230:8080/video > >>>>>>>> Hello, >>>>>>>> >>>>>>>> I have been using motion software for more than 2 decades.

Try to change netcam_url to one of the following and see if that
changes anything:
netcam_url mjpeg://lg-230:8080/video
or
netcam_url mjpg://lg-230:8080/video

Hello Tosiara, Thank you again for looking into this and your assistance to dig deeper! I think all the relevant information that you might need is shown below. I have provided information from /etc/hosts; /etc/motion.conf; /etc/motion/conf.d/camera*.conf; etc. Let me know if you need anything else. Note: beside just the difference in the final IP address (230 v/s 236) everything else is identical in the motion server for the Android that the motion panel is not streaming (@230) from; versus the one (@236) that it is able to. All output below is from the server (@100) running motion. I don't think I have overlooked or mis-configured something. # IP ADDRESSES: grep 230 /etc/hosts 192.168.1.230 LG-230 # This Android does not stream in the motion panel grep 236 /etc/hosts 192.168.1.236 MotoE2 # This Android does stream in the motion panel # MOTION conf file: grep stream_port /etc/motion/motion.conf stream_port 8081 grep camera_dir /etc/motion/motion.conf camera_dir /etc/motion/conf.d # CAMERA conf files: # conf file for Android that streams in ffplay NOT motion: grep 230 /etc/motion/conf.d/*.conf /etc/motion/conf.d/camera3.conf:camera_name LG-230 /etc/motion/conf.d/camera3.conf:camera_id 230 /etc/motion/conf.d/camera3.conf:netcam_url http://192.168.1.230:8080/video # conf file for Android that streams in ffplay AND motion: grep 236 /etc/motion/conf.d/*.conf /etc/motion/conf.d/camera4.conf:camera_id 236 /etc/motion/conf.d/camera4.conf:netcam_url http://192.168.1.236:8080/video # OBSERVATIONS (non-working v/s working): brave-browser http://lg-230:8080/video # Works... brave-browser http://localhost:8081/230/stream # Does not work !

Can you add console output of a working ffplay and not working motion of the same camera?

You should find the correct stream url not by using Browser, but using "ffplay" command. Then it will work with also motion. If a url works with ffplay, but does not work with motion - let us know On Tue, Dec 23, 2025 at 10:15 PM jmb <jm...@gm...> wrote: > > Hello, > > I have been using motion software for more than 2 decades.

Hello, I have been using motion software for more than 2 decades. Wonderful software that I have found it to be. I am currently using: Version 4.7.1(C)2000-24 J.Vreeken/F.Heusden/K.Lavrsen/Project team ... where motion is running on a server at 192.168.1.100 under Ubuntu 24.04 and acquiring its video from older (repurposed) Android phones. I am trying to make it work with the following older Android phones (as IP cameras) that are running Pavel Klebovich's IPWebCam app. What I am finding: a) Android 5.1.1 MotoE2 -WORKS with ONVIF support enabled in IPWebCam Brave-browser http://192.168.1.2XX:8080/video (video works) Motion (streams the video perfectly) from http://192.168.1.100:8081/2XX/stream b) Android 4.0.4 Kyocera -WORKS with ONVIF support enabled in IPWebCam Brave-browser http://192.168.1.2YY:8081/video (video works) Motion reports: "Unable to open video device, since ..." from http://192.168.1.100:8081/2YY/stream c) Android 2.2.2 LG -FAILS ONVIF support NOT available in IPWebCam Brave-browser http://192.168.1.2ZZ:8081/video (video works) Motion reports: "Unable to open video device, since ..." from http://192.168.1.100:8081/2ZZ/stream It is the oldest Android 2.2.2 LG phone that's not working with motion. Incidentally is is also the most reliable one for running IPWebCam !!! QUESTIONS: Could it be because ONVIF is unavailable in IPWebCam version of the oldest OS -Android 2.2.2? I realize the differences could be the versions of IPWebCam apps between the 3 Android OSes. But my question is whether I can somehow overcome the limitations of the oldest Android OS and or IPWebCam app available for it? Are there any motion software configuration settings I could tweak? SIDE NOTE: Am also running motion on various generations of RPi quite reliably! REQUEST: Any help would be much appreciated, for keeping older hardware useful and less destined to the landfills. Thanks. JMB |

Add a different suffix to the filename on the pipe output. Such as.
movie_extpipe x264 - --input-res %wx%h --fps %{fps} --vbv-maxrate 8000
--preset ultrafast --quiet -o %f/_ext/.mp4
But...I'd recommend not using the extpipe until you've gotten the
passthrough working. If it isn't being written out, check the log and
possibly the movie container.

I can look into the noise/detection difference. The base/historical
method shouldn't have changed.
Keep in mind that the extpipe is still an encoding option for movies.
extpipe just does it outside of the Motion application. i.e. Motion
captures the image, decodes it, adds the overlays/masks and then encodes
the images using either the embedded encoder or the extpipe option.
To get audio included, Motion captures the audio and video together and
then writes them both out together without any decoding at all.
The "intended" or "typical" set up that occurs is that netcam_url is set
to low resolution feed from the camera. It serves as the feed for the
detection. The netcam_high_url is set to the higher resolution feed
that also includes an audio stream. The low resolution detects motion
and then triggers the saving of the images and audio from the high
resolution. One of the downsides of this is that since there isn't any
decoding/processing done on the high resolution feed, it will not
include any overlays or masks.
Regarding the feeds from the web interface, below I've snipped a section
from the examples page that shows the various feeds available. Each
camera stream is available on the single port by specifying the
associated device id. If you want to use the Motion provided
consolidated image of all cameras(device id 0), then you can use the
"stream_preview_params" option to specify where on the consolidated
image to put each camera.
/Webcontrol pages
{IP}:{port0}/ Home html page with streams for all cameras
The following JSON pages are available via the webcontrol.
{IP}:{port0}/0/config.json JSON object with the configuration
information for all cameras
{IP}:{port0}/0/status.json JSON object with information about
status of all cameras
{IP}:{port0}/0/movies.json JSON object with information about
all movies
The following mjpg streams are available via the webcontrol.
(Update automatically). Specify {camid} as 0 to obtain a consolidated
mjpg stream of all cameras.

the camera as a mjpg
{IP}:{port0}/{camid}/mjpg/source Source image stream of the
camera as a mjpg
{IP}:{port0}/{camid}/mjpg/secondary Image from secondary
detection stream (if active) as a mjpg
The following mpegts streams are available via the webcontrol.
(Update automatically) Specify {camid} as 0 to obtain a consolidated
mpegts stream of all cameras.
{IP}:{port0}/{camid}/mpegts Primary stream for the camera
updated as a mpeg transport stream

Try without the 'static', and possibly without the last virgule
('slash') at the end to get the stream,
I have been using cctv-viewer for years to view multiple cameras at once
-- up to 16. Can also tap/click on one of the screens to make that
full-screen. I have it running off a Raspberry Pi but I think he's got
Windows and Mac options as well.

(movie_all_frames off) has fixed the constant recording.
I'm switching between motion-5 and motion-4.7.1. Motion-5 seems to be
detecting noise that motion-4.7.1 does not, I'm getting false motion
detection in large areas, (noise_tune on)(noise_level 32). (setup_mode)
does not seem to be part of motion-5 so I don't know how to see what is
going on. Despecle helps, but does not seem to fix this.
(movie_passthrough on) Still no audio in videos, would movie_extpipe have
anything to do with that?
movie_extpipe x264 - --input-res %wx%h --fps %{fps} --vbv-maxrate 8000
--preset ultrafast --quiet -o %f.mp4
(http://127.0.0.1:8080/1/static) shows a jpg of camera 1 in firefox (1 is
the device_id), is there a way to stream using the device_id this way? I
have been using apache/php and the different ports to stream/view 4 images
on one web page.
I'm not complaining, just trying to figure this out, I've been using motion
for over 20 years.

In Motion v5, there are two very different audio components. The first is that it can record audio from a camera if the passthrough option is used. This option does NOT require anything special in the complie/options. It is just taking the packets sent from the camera and writing them out without any sort of decode/encode process. As of now, this audio is not available live via the webcontrol. It can only be heard via the downloaded recordings. The second component that is included is the ability to detect specific audio frequencies and send alerts based upon the detected frequency. (Think about being able to detect a smoke alarm, water sensor, door bell, breaking glass, etc.). This option does require ALSA or Pulse but It does not record the audio. It just detects the frequencies heard and sends an alert if the frequency is detected.
