Title: Videostream-access via IP/video.cgi always opens a pop-up "Open video.cgi..."
Post by: Firefly003 on March 22, 2017, 01:12:39 AM
Good Morning,

I have an issue with the dcs-932l and tried to google this for the last three days, but couldn't come up with any solution.
When I try either to embed the video-stream in a personal website, or access it live via IP/video.cgi (or IP/mjpeg.cgi) I can see the stream, but also keep getting a popup window that wants me to choose whether I want to "open with" a software I could select, or "Save file" (the file being mjpeg.cgi or video.cgi).

Is there a way to avoid this to happen? I'm trying to host the live videos of three birdboxes on a website and since there are three of them these popups get rather annoying to click away.

A sample-adress is: http://87.128.24.170:800/video.cgi

I would be very grateful, if someone could help me!
Best regards,
Tim

Dear FurryNutz,

thank you for your reply!

The hardware-version is: B2
The firmware-version is: 2.14.04 on one cam and 2.12.01 on the other two.
I'm in Germany and I use Mozilla Firefox. A colleague tried with his MacBook today and Safari and Chrome on that machine did not show the pop-up.

I have tried the first link, where the pop-up also showed. The second one I will try now.

Best,
Tim

Edit: Interestingly the second link with the HTML-Code works! It does not show the Pop-Up (in my browser at least)! Do you know why this is?

No idea. Probably how the code is handled and parsed by the browser maybe.

Glad the 2nd method works for you.

Enjoy.  ;)
