Thx for your request.

URL authentification should work with the most webcams. I will not implement something webcam specific.

[khseal]

It's not specific.
The link http://admin:[email protected]/image.jpg opens in any browser.
mainsail cannot open. mainsail is specific and not a camera!

This is just a URL for a Snapshot. It needs a little more to display it correctly in Mainsail, not "only a link" but I would not see any issue as to why this should not work with MJPEG-ADAPTIVE or UV4L-MJPEG mode in Mainsail.

But in UV4L-MJPEG, you will only see the last image. Not a video.

We already implemented ten different webcam services for a web interface built to control your Klipper printer. This is no "webcam control center". So please use a webcam we support, or feel free to make a fork and implement your specific webcam mode.

PS: To be honest... without any model of the webcam and when no one from our crew has this specific webcam, it's nearly impossible to debug it. Webcams are really crap to implement, and every vendor/streamer does it a little bit differently. There is no "generic" solution.

I have cameras with openipc firmware. https://openipc.org/
The telegram bot just works without any problems.
Mainsail fell off when authorization was added to the camera.

Telegram bot just need a snapshot. No video...

[khseal]

Hm, my bot can send video.

@khseal, you send a screenshot from a video... Sorry. But all of this sounds more like a joke/scam... I will lock this post now because this is only a waste of time for me.
