And yes I do have a Windows-pc too, but I want to keep that for my graphic programs, and also the Linux-pc for internet activities.
I tried Ivideon and other things to get the Foscam at work here; no succes.
Foscam really forces the use of MS-Windows.
Installed Wine 4.0.2 -- it came as 64bit as I use LinuxMint 18.3 Cinnamon 64bit.
After that in Wine I installed Foscam's IPClient-plugin and Firefox 49.2 32bit (64bit is not supported for the IP-client webinterface as an error-message told me after having installed the 64bit version).
Now I can reach the camera on my Linux-machine and operate it...but the live-video-screen remains black
But when I press 'make a snapshot' it makes and shows the snapshot correctly.
On my WindowsPC the live video is shown correctly.
I guess it had to do with failing codecs, so I installed K-Lite Codec Pack 12.9.5 Standard, reboot the pc -- finally without succes.
Also set winecfg to WinXP (default it is Win7); no succes.
A lot of uncertainties are lying here:
Is the K-Lite Codec Pack version OK?
Do I have to set Wine to 32bit?
Is the Wine version OK?
Do I have to install/override dll's?
Can LAVFilters do the job?
I really want this get to work on this pc.
Can anybody help?
