I've setup a second HG box on an rpi with a lifecam webcam attached. the webcam works great on the rpi. But my main HG is on another device, is it possible to have the camera module passed from the rpi to the second HG box?

I had an idea that could solve this.

I removed HG from the PI, installed Motion on it. The camera is visible from the browser (Motion uses MJPEG) but when I enter the camera URL into the generic IP camera module, the module only shows the camera icon but no feed.

is MJPEG not supported? or am I doing something wrong?

I know that for my IP camera
 - The videostream url is something like : 192.168.1.xxx/live.htm
 - The snapshots url are somethink like : 192.168.1.xxx/snapshot.cgi
And that works in HG.
The extension are htm or cgi. So is it MPEG, I don't know ?
