port 8081 doesn't stream #888

Open cephasiii opened 6 years ago

cephasiii commented 6 years ago

I have motioneyeos installed and setup on rpi zero w w/ raspberry camera. When I stream (http://my.ip.address:8081) it only shows a snapshot instead of the live stream.

How do I view a live video stream without logging in to web interface?

Thanks in advance for the help. motion.log motioneye.log

Try this: Login into the webinterface then go to = on the top left Go to video streaming > Streaming Port and change 8081 to say 1030 Appy try the new IP and Port, Example http://192.168.1.14:1030

if this works then there is something on your system that is using port 8081

I noticed the same after upgrade. It seems streaming port is nowadays bound to localhost only. Check if you have 127.0.0.1:8081 in your netstat:

sudo netstat -ltnp

If so, you need to find bind setting for motion and put 0.0.0.0 there.

I looked it up and fixed it for me. Option is:

stream_localhost off

Works fine. Config option for this would be nice. It's security feature.

Oops, replied to wrong question. Anyhow, it seems streaming is disabled by default nowadays in motion. Sorry for confusion here.
