It appears to accept the camera user and password but it doesn't seem able to decode the mjpeg video? The screen goes to black as though it is starting but then it reverts to a splash screen with a play button and does nothing after that. I will spend some more time investigating mplayer. The ability to put the user and password in the start command is a definite convenience, if only it can be made to display the video. Thanks for the help.
