I just tried it out with a Y-cam camera and it worked. Settings are stored in ~/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.ipcam/settings.xml. Mine is

Code:

<settings>
    <setting id="debug" value="0" />
    <setting id="url" value="rtsp://user:password@camera/live_mpeg4.sdp" />
</settings>

any chance you could merge the latest fastforward trick into the multi camera git, also when i try to install that i get a dependencie not met

I tested the fastforward thing and got inconsistent results. Sometimes it made no difference at all. I'll try it again when I get a chance. The multiple_cameras branch was something I started to work on a while ago but it's not up to date with master. This commit fixed the dependency problem.

What firmware version is installed? Can you post a debug log?

Two changes fixed the motion detection pop up for my FI9831P camera.

1) Change in addons/script.foscam/resources/lib/utils.py
Alter the get_mjpeg_frame function to look like this. Seems sometimes the headers aren't consistent, or the previous frame doesnt end in a carriage return meaning you need a different number of readlines frame to frame. My change will keep reading the stream till it finds the content length header its looking for.

def get_mjpeg_frame(stream):
try:
content_length = stream.readline()
while not "Content-Length" in content_length:
content_length = stream.readline()
bytes = int(content_length.split(':')[-1])
stream.readline()
return stream.read(bytes)
except requests.RequestException as e:
utils.log_error(str(e))
return None


2) Change alter addons/script.foscam/resources/lib/foscam.py
Alter self._stream_url_fmt line to look like this. The url had to be changed as my camera is very particular about the ordering of the get parameters, username had to come first thus the 'Username required' error. Also the username/pass is passed as get parameters as below not as basic http creds.


self._stream_url_fmt = "http://{0}:{1}/cgi-bin/CGIStream.cgi?usr={2}&pwd={3}&cmd={{cmd}}".format(host,
port,
user,
password)

[nickr]

[quixers]

Yea will try and attach them later today and add a branch/pull request to GitHub

Howd ya go. Get it done? Looking forward to the changes

[quixers]

Download this, rename it script.foscamFix.zip

https://github.com/peteakalad/script.fos...master.zip

To install, uninstall the existing version then install my patched one..

1) Go to settings -> add-ons -> Program add-ons -> Foscam HD -> uninstall -> Yes

2) Go to settings -> add-ons -> Install from zip file -> select the downloaded file above 'script.foscamFix.zip'

OK It seems the 9831 behaves a bit differently to the 9821. I'll make these changes.

Yes it's an XBMC/Kodi issue that I have seen reported elsewhere. I was testing some changes that worked around the problem but there were some other issues introduced that I didn't completely resolve. I've recently moved and I don't currently have a camera set up, but when I get a chance I'll dust off those changes and try to fix it properly.
