I've released 0.0.19 which adds checks for characters which will cause problems for this add-on but are allowed by Foscam. These characters are

{ } : ; ! ? @ \ /

for the password, and

@

for the user name.

Are you using a user account with admin privileges?

Next time I get to the installation location I will check that. Thanks!

Hi, so I double checked and the account I am trying to connect with is a admin account. Here are the logs from when I try to connect.

I also double and triple checked the username and password for the account.

Thanks

Try the http request in a browser and see what you get

Code:

http://192.168.0.202:88/cgi-bin/CGIProxy.fcgi?cmd=getDevState&usr=username&pwd=password

OK so the problem is not related to the add-on itself. -2 means "Username or password error".

Well even though I could login with that username & password combo through the camera's webpage, I guess the cgi interface didn't like something about the username password combo I was using. So after creating a new user & password I got it working. Thanks for your help.

Could you paste your original url with the problem user/password into http://www.url-encode-decode.com/ and try the resultant encoded url? I'd be interested to know if this fixes it as I could do the same thing in the add-on. The Foscam documentation is a bit unclear about this.

I currently have two Non-HD Foscam (FI8910W) camera's that are not supported with this addon. I would love to buy a new one just to make this add-on work. In reading through the thread it appears there are some HD Foscam firwares/versions that don't work properly (if I read the comments right). Can anyone tell me if the below statement is still true? I was looking at one on ebay and wanted to save myself sometime if I could get the exact version that is guaranteed to work. Thanks everyone!


From OP

"I tested with a FI9821W V2 that I use as a baby monitor but it should work with any of the HD range, so anything with a model number starting with FI98."

[Leopold]

I still only have a FI9821W V2 so can only speak for that. I'm running the latest firmware (V-2.x.1.10_20140516) with a patch from Foscam applied to fix the audio.

All the FI98 models share the same API and rtsp URLs so should all work with this add-on. Hopefully others can reply with their actual experience of the other HD models. Does anyone use a FI9831W with this add-on?

I tried pasting the encoded url into a browser but because the ip address was encoded as well it just opened up a google search for the encoded url. I also tried just encoding from "cgi" on instead of encoding the http://ipaddress:88/ part but that gave me a 404 error.

I'm trying to install Foscam HD in XBMC 13.2 but couldn't. It says "Add-on is incompatible or has been marked broken in repository. Dependencies not met. Please contact Add-on author"

Is there any extra setting I need to do?

thanks

This should be fixed now.

I have the same message in 12.1, is 13 required for this add-on?
I just downloaded the repo from your 1st post and tried to enabled the add-on but it's listed as Broken.
