Hello Tosiara,
Thank you again for looking into this and your assistance to dig
deeper!??I think all the relevant information that you might need is
shown below.? I have provided information from /etc/hosts;
/etc/motion.conf; /etc/motion/conf.d/camera*.conf; etc.? Let me know if
you need anything else.? Note: beside just the difference in the final
IP address (230 v/s 236) everything else is identical in the motion
server for the Android that the motion panel is not streaming (@230)
from; versus the one (@236) that it is able to.??All output below is
from the server (@100) running motion.? I don't think I have overlooked
or mis-configured something.
