IP Camera Viewer Basic and Pro, fresh out of the oven (ONVIF, RTSP coming soon)

While waiting for the bugfix, you still can use the "easy add",  just get your roku IP from the network settings and use that IP, http://ip_from_roku:12345/

I know the IP address of my Roku but am unsure about the port as it does not show in the Roku network settings. Are you saying to literally use port number 12345 to access the "easy add" form? If so, that does not work. Anyway, I have manually set up my cameras so this is a moot point for now.

For the screensaver I have a couple of questions:

• What camera brand are you using?


• Does the video works while you are in the application and not the screensaver?


• When you added the camera, what did you put in the MJPEG Link field?

Camera Brand is Foscam, model FI8906W
Yes, the video works while in the application, just not the screensaver
The MJPEG Link field contains "/videostream.cgi?user={0}&pwd={1}&reolution=32&rate=0"

Both problems, "easy add" not showing the IP/port and the screensaver not showing the video are fixed now in my code. I will push later today an update. Probably by next week Roku will clear the update for the channel store.
Thank you for reporting those bugs. Let me know if you find any other problems.

So the url for the "examples" for foscam are correct? Are they tested. ?
Because I have several models and none of them work. ex FI9821W

Yes, the URL works for some foscam cameras, the problem is that those cameras work different depending on the model. You can try following this post and let me know if you have any success:
http://foscam.us/forum/how-to-fetch-sna ... t4328.html
If the login/password needs to be in the URL (like ... &usr=admin&pwd=pass ) replace where the username needs to be with {0} and where the password needs to be with {1}:
&usr={0}&pwd={1}
and the application will replace those with your login and password.

My only suggestion is to have an option that defaults the app to a specific camera or split screen on startup rather than having to select it for those "what was that noise" moments. I know a scan feature is unlikely but that would possibly hold some value if you could make it work too.

I'm not sure what happened -- a new version released or some other glitch -- but all my cameras were gone from IP Camera Viewer Pro app this morning. Had to re set my cameras up, which is a real inconvenience. I hope this isn't going to happen again.

I gave the app a try. It didn't list my Foscam FI9826W. I tried every other Foscam and even tried editing the the URL but nothing seemed to work. Perhaps the next version will work for me. 

I updated the application with a new feature to "easy add" camera information:



Bad news is that I submitted the update by mistake with a different key and that will erase the camera information you already entered.

Hi,
The way to see what's the link you should use in the mjpeg field, first try to see your mjpeg stream in a browser. Probably on your foscam the link will look something like:
http://192.168.1.90:8186/videostream.cgi?user=xxxxxxxx&pwd=xxxxxxxx&resolution=32&rate=0
After you find the link, in the IP field enter the IP (in the example above the IP is 192.168.1.90). Enter the port, 8186 in the example above. Leave the login/password fields blank and in the mjpeg field enter /videostream.cgi?user=xxxxxxxx&pwd=xxxxxxxx&resolution=32&rate=0, replace xxxxx with your login and password. 
Let me know if that works for you.

Could you provide a little more insight into how one would access the New Camera Information page with a web browser, please. 

Also, I have set up the Screensaver but it doesn't appear to be working. When I Preview all I see is a black screen. Any suggestions on this issue?

Sure. First of all, the screen saver. When on the screen saver settings, make sure you check the camera you want to show as screensaver (like in the following picture) and then press "Save screensaver" button.

For the "easy add" feature, open the "easy add" in the roku application, and while on that view, on your computer browser, open the address shown (just type it in the address bar in your browser). This will open a page with a form for camera information. Fill it up and press save and the new camera will be saved. Note, this only works if your computer and the roku are connected to the same network.

The way it works is that while on that view screen, there is a webserver running on your roku that will serve the page with the camera form in your browser. As soon as you press back on the remote and leave the view, the webserver is stopped. In future versions I'll include on the same web page a backup and restore feature.

Nope. I even tried it with one of my TrendNet cameras and no go. Perhaps it's issues with my model Roku (2XS) or my network. To be honest, the Roku app has marginal usefulness for me. I can look at my cameras (6 of them) with an Android app or Blue Iris on Windows. I applaud and thank you for your efforts.
