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.
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.
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.
