Motion - Support Question 2015x 07x 20x 213901

stream_localhost = off not working - resolved

Question

Thank you for this free software and the support!

I have installed motion 3.2.12 on my Raspberry Pi 2 on Ubuntu Mate 1.8.2 and I am using a USB webcam with it. Everything seems to be working just fine. I get the image and the control page on their ports on localhost. Unfortunately, if I am using an external computer and try to open the streaming page (port 8081) using the Raspberrys IP in the network, I can't. I am, however, able to connect to port 8080 for the control page.

I tried to switch ports, but the same thing happens. Control page opens, streaming page does not. I played around with the settings, but I couldn't get it to work. I set stream_localhost = off and on and tried with variations of authentication. Any ideas, why this might happen and what I can do? Do you need more information about my system?

Edit: I just found out it was related to using Chrome... works like a charm in Safari...

Thank you!
