no videostream on html page

Question

Hello everybody, thanks in advance for your help. Please be patient with me i am not good at linux and not experienced with raspi either

here is my question: can anybody help me getting motion video stream running again(!) on a html page? I had it all working initially without problems on a raspi B with wheezy. Webcam is a Logitech C210 (which I found out should be compatible: http://www.lavrsen.dk/foswiki/bin/view/Motion/Logitech#Logitech_C210) after some time and updates and dist-upgrade it didn't work anymore and I tried to fix it. unfortunately I can't tell after which update that was. I ended up upgrading to Jessi but it is still not running. I included the stream on a html-page with <iframe src="http://192.168.1.30:8081" width="340" height="260" name="Webcamstream"></iframe> but firefox gives an connection error. I think motion is not started correctly. when I command sudo motion start it gives me: (see below) So I am wondering about a few things: why are the IP adresses 0.0.0.0? what does [1] [WRN] [VID] v4l2_select_input: Device doesn't support VIDIOC_G_STD mean? and it stucks in an endless loop it seems and I have to exit with ctrl+c.

Has anyone an idea what i am doing wrong? Thanks a lot. cheers, than

PS: can anyone help me reading out the specifics on e.g. motion version, ffmpeg version and what else yu need to make it easier to debug?
