Package: motion
Version: 3.2.3-1.1
Severity: normal

According to the manual:

  The webserver generates a stream in "multipart jpeg" format (mjpeg). You 
cannot
  watch the stream with most browsers. Only certain versions of Netscape works.
  Mozilla and Firefox brosers can view the mjpeg stream but you often have to
  refresh the page once to get the streaming going. 

This isn't quite accurate, it's not so much that the gecko engine doesn't
like multipart jpeg streams, as that it doesn't much like them being served
up as the toplevel "/index.html" of a website.

I was able to get firefox to reliably play my stream by creating this simple
html page:

<img src="http://localhost:8080/index.html";>

When it knows to expect an image, firefox displays this just fine.
