Firefox with all of its issues and overhead is going to be way less
cpu intensive updating one full-res jpeg per second per camera than
attempting to run multiple mplayer instances. No way that a lower
powered machine could play back 4 instances of mplayer on the
higher-res streams, it would have to be the lower resolution streams.
And with firefox and the jpegs coming from motion you can click on one
of the cameras and get a full screen instance and then click on the
back button and get back to the 4 or more camera view.

Hi there,
I?m using ?motion? with two cameras.
I want to use ?mask_file? but just for one camera.
Will it work, if I insert the parameter in the config file of the corresponding
camera only?
It would be nice to know which parameters can be used in the separate camera
config files and them to be used in the common config file only.

For the most part anything in motion.conf is for all cameras and anything
in camera.conf files is for that camera only.
In the camera.conf file:
mask_file /path to mask file/mask.pgm

The stream_preview_* options I think is what I had to set to enable it
on the webcontrol port. I go to the webcontrol port and all of my
cams show up on that screen.
Mine are set this way:
stream_preview_newline off
stream_preview_method 1
stream_preview_scale 29
My webcontrol looks like this:
webcontrol_port 8083
webcontrol_localhost off
webcontrol_html_output on
it does 3 images across with the 29% scaling, so 6 mostly fit on a
1080 screen (3x2).
so then http://servername:8083 will show the cams.
The order the threads are defined in motion.conf seems to control the
order in that screen. I don't see a way to tell it to ignore a cam.
