Hi,

We have a number of Axis 206W IP cameras installed offiste and I would like to be able to monitor them through VLC. From reading previous posts I found that Axis kit seems to be quite well supported but when I try to connect using VLC 0.82 with the following command:
vlc http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/axis-cgi/mjpg/vi ... on=352x240

I get the following errors:
[00000250] access_http access error: invalid HTTP reply '--myboundary'
[00000253] main private error: cannot pre fill buffer
[00000239] main playlist: nothing to play
[00000239] main playlist: stopping playback

I have confirmed that the URL works fine from a web browser. I wondered it it was down to how I configured VLC (I compiled from source), I used the following configure line:
./configure --disable-x11 --disable-xvideo --disable-gtk --disable-sdl --enable-ffmpeg --with-ffmpeg-mp3lame --with-ffmpeg-zlib --enable-mad --enable-libdvbpsi --enable-a52 --disable-dvdplay --enable-dvdnav --enable-vorbis --enable-ogg --enable-theora --enable-mkv --enable-freetype --disable-cddax --disable-vcdx --enable-speex --enable-flac --enable-goom --enable-livedotcom --enable-caca --disable-skins2 --enable-modplug --enable-debug --enable-gpl --enable-mp3lame --enable-pp --with-ffmpeg-tree=/video/extra/ffmpeg-cvs-2004-11-10 --disable-smb

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
John

you might need to provide a username and password using the http://username:password@.... syntax

Thanks for your suggestion, I tried with the correct username and password combo and it gave the same error out.

Cheers,
