Subject: [Motion-user] Apple Workstation - View Video in Browser
Message-ID:
<[email protected]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
I have a person who views the day's Motion videos and preview jpeg images in a
browser. The Motion server has Lighttpd configured to display directory file
listings of the individual camera directories (instead of a default html
document).
Clicking on a video file name on the list from a Windows or Linux workstation
in Firefox will play the video in the browser window just fine. But apparently
Apple workstations aren't happy with that arrangement, and Apple is all he has
now. I tried a couple different video formats but he says nothing works. I
couldn't get enough feedback from him to really understand what the problem
was.
That person and the Apple computer are far away from me. I don't have access to
an Apple computer so I can't easily troubleshoot this issue. Does anyone else
know what browser or video file settings work with Apple in the above
configuration?
Thanks,
Gordon

Thanks, I hadn't seen that.? I did have some mismatched image sized and
I fixed them.? It helped some but my CPU utilization still hovers around
200%.
Maybe I'm just expecting too much out of this little Raspberry Pi.? It
seems to be handling the 5 cameras I have connected pretty well, but I
plan to add a couple more and the utilization was only about 50% before
I added the last two cameras (both rtsp - the other three are MJPEG).?
Maybe I will have to split the cameras between two RPis.
