I posted over here

But, decided to reload and follow these instructions

The install went fine.

But, I am getting a red X where the camera image should be. In this version I am missing a path in the source where I would put something like mjpeg.cgi (not really sure what I suppose to use). Anyway, all I have now is a

Remote Host Path: (and I am using this) http://IP/mjpeg.cgi

My log messages show about 1500 lines of info - Just a quick scan didnt really look like anything serious.

I do see this in my zm log

I also cannot probe the camera

Unable to probe network cameras, status is '127'

Not really sure what to do next. I worked on this all day yesterday and reload and installed today. With no joy.

To get the camera to work I followed the config over a this URL

http://translate.google.com/translate?h ... %26hl%3Den

Then for the camera I choose a Preset camera and changed the camera to my settings.

BTW - Use /video.cgi

I am getting 30.77 FPS!
