Green screen streaming MJPEG from foscam ip camera

[knocktrade]

I'm having and issue with the latest openelec. In both 4.2 and 4.2.1 I'm getting a green screen streaming from my foscam ip camera. The foscam is streaming an MJPEG format. This was working well in 4.07 and works well in. Standard xbmc 13.2 build on OSX 10.8 and windows 8. Any thoughts? I'm running this on an asus chrome box standalone. I've tried disabling all hardware video acceleration but no go.

How are you streaming? an strm file? Or the newish foscam addon? See here if you don't know about the addon http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=190439

I'm using the tried and true strm file. I've seen the new adding but i haven't gotten it to work just yet. I've tried to stream both the MJPEG format at the ASX/ASF format but both just show a green screen (4:3 ratio partially filling the screen)

Thanks.

What is the contents of your strm file? (you probably want to fudge your username/password if they appear)

having the same problem with 4.2.1,
my strm file: http://user:Pwd@192.168.1.52:80/videostr...=64&rate=0
worked ok in 4.0.7.
don't use it much but checked it once again and still give me a green screen, since the 4.1 beta's.
i think a green screen usually means a missing codec.

so i downgraded to 4.0.7 and created another debug log while streaming

hope someone can figure out why the mjpeg stream is failing in OE 4.2.1

pulled up the log - looks like there might be an issue with one of the parameters being passed to ffmpeg. from my xbmc log file, i see:

I did some more debugging but no go, atleast nothing yet. For now i've created a bug with all the logs and such and posted it to the OE github page:

https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/issues/3547
OE 4.2/4.2.1 MJPEG video not playing correctly/green screen #3547

Thanks.

Same here now that I have tried.
