stream_auth_method 1 Results in Broken Camera Preview Page

[afrazkhan]

Hiya,

If I enable auth for the stream URL (by default https://<ip>:8081/0/stream), the streaming preview on https://<ip>:8080 breaks, even though the URL it's pointing to is correct, and clicking on it goes to a working stream (after logging in). Note that TLS is also enabled for both URLs, but I don't think that's relevant.

My guess is that this is because the preview page (https://<ip>:8080) doesn't send the authorisation needed for the streaming page?

Same here!

in my case i'm using ssl nginx in frontend web and the link for stream is http://mydnsname:443:8081/0/stream :}(

Is there a workaround/solution for this problem? I ran into it just now.

Motion uses different ports and possibly different usernames/password for stream vs webcontrol so there is no ready made solution.

This was changed in Motionplus to fix this but not in Motion. (Motionplus uses a single port/username/password for everything). Other alternative is to set up your own NGIX, Apache server.....or just click on the image to enter the userid/password that is associated with the stream instead of the webcontrol.
