I finally found another post detailing the same problem I have with the Axis 211M Network Camera.

So it all comes down to a Server-Push mjpeg stream and respective support from quicktime (multipart and motion-jpg are different?). I suppose this is not on anyone's road map, either on quicktime or cycling...

Hi again.

I sort of had this working late last year with an Axis camera (not

sure of the model). If I remember correctly, I was using some java by

someone on the list (vade maybe?) to get it working.

I'll see if I can find what I had and post it in the next few days.

Thanks to Scott I finally worked my way a little bit further into the list and found vade's reference to the Java example on the regular Max/MSP documentation.

This worked out fine for my purpose (but only using on-demand requests). It's not so efficient but it works. Right now with 320x240 I get a fluent framerate but going to 640x480 is already introducing a relevant frame drop. This is using the Axis 211M. As I understood this is a very common codec to IP Network Cameras, so I guess parsing with java is the way.

Just for reference of future troubled minds, the example is to be found on:

Max5/examples/jitter-examples/java/jitwebimage-example.maxpat

this patch might be helpful to you, and the included java:

MJpeg: motion jpeg (multipart) and QT? - [was: Axis 211M IP Network Camera and jit.qt.movie]
