I have the Abelcam running on default port 8080 with the video stream port set to the default 8090. I have picked "autohost" which automatically sets the IP address to my external IP.
When I go to http://myipaddress:8080/ from outside I get the abelcam webserver as expected and the images from my cam work perfectly.
When I pick the streaming video page the feed embedded in the page works.
Problem:
If I pick to view the stream in it's own media player window it does not work because the link is something like: http://localhost:8080/current0-123456.asx which doesnt work.
If I change the link manually and put in http://myipaddress:8090/current0-123456.asx then it works fine. Notice I had to manually put in 8090 instead of the 8080 it tries to go to.
Why is my link showing up incorrectly?
I see in one of the posts that I "should" be able to go to http://myipaddress:some_port/current.asx and get to my video. How can I get this to work instead of current0-123456.asx?
My goals:
Go to http://myipaddress:8080/ from my PDA to see images. Working fine.
Go to http://myipaddress:8090(or8080)/current.asx and see the streaming video from my PDA. Not working (have to use current0-123456.asx).
Thanks!
