Gentlemen: Thank you! My settings are pretty consistent to what both of you have shared, except "allow=h263". I put in "allow=h264" instead.
Additionally where did you get the firmware? Can you share the file or email me off line, and share with us how you upgraded the firmware? I suspect upgrading the firmware may do the trick and get rid of my complaints. Thanks and regards, Reza.
