Hi
this is weird
I have 2 odroid N2 computers both running motion both on 192.168.1.0/24
subnet, Ubuntu 24
each has 5 ip cams , one also has a USB cam, both are running ubuntu24 ,
both headless
odroidN2 , x.x. 1.130,? odroidN24 x.x.1.145, port range 8080 - 8089
the cams on odroidN2 are OK, but on odroidN24 camera9 , port 8089?
something very strange
if I use VLC with the ip address of the camera as listed in camera9.conf
on odroidN24, I see the stream from the correct camera
Yet If I use the mini http server on x.x.1.145:8089 I see the camera on
odroidN2?? x.x.1.130:8088
I uses port 7770 on both computers as the control port,
http://x.x.1.130:7770 shows all the correct cams connected to the
version of motion running on that computer
on my laptop with firefox browser http://x.x.1.145:7770? shows all the
correct except one which is connected to x.x.1.130:8088
from camera9.conf
# Target base directory for pictures and films
# Recommended to use absolute path. (Default: current working directory)
;target_dir /home/odroid/Pictures/motion9/
target_dir /home/SDC/motion9/
# The mini-http server listens to this port for requests (default: 0 = disabled)
stream_port 8089
two separate computers with diffenernt ip addresses
ther ip cam connected to odroidN24, x.x.1.145 is on x.x.1.88 stream port 8089
the ip cam on odroidN2 x.x.1.130 is on x.x.1.103 steam port 8088
version on both 4.6.0
odroidN24 has very recently been upgraded to ubuntu 24
If I stop motion on odroidN2 x.x.1.130? and run http://x.x.1.145:7770 it
still shows the wrong camera, so it must be something on the config
of motion on odroidN24, but the url of the camera is correct and
verified using VLC and the stream port is set to 8089
The only thing the ip cams have in common is they are both ie-geek cams,
but the both show correctly in their app on my android phone.
the same config files were fine on ubuntu22 running motion 4.2
I've even tried changing the port numbers on odroidN24 to 9080 ~ 9089
any ideas ????
Thanks Richard

I would do a grep 8088 on all of your conf file and see if another
conf file has the wrong port defined.
Best guess is you have 2 conf files and one overrides the other or you
are using the wrong conf file.
