MJpeg Viewer
Attention: The linked example website in the stub app is not mine
- so it can be offline or removed any time. Google for 'mjpeg' or 'axis cgi' if you do not have your own camera for example.
This enables you to open mjpeg video stream in the browser and watch it. Just open a link and watch the video. No longer an unknown, broken file will be downloaded. Also private password protected websites are supported.
Where is mjpeg used? Mostly mjpeg is used for streaming images from cameras placed all over the world presenting nice or interesting places to website visitors. Also most security cameras use mjpeg. Your Android phone can stream mjpeg with a lot of webcam apps, too! With the program VLC running on your pc mjpeg provides a simple method to stream any kind of video to your phone.
Please note: Mjpeg video streams cannot be paused, rewinded or skipped forward. They are always shown as send by the server without further user interaction possible.

Works until something changes display like switching programmes or screen rotation then phone hangs and has to be power cycled. Needs capability to have more than one URL. (Nexus 4)
It has some bugs, and it only stores one URL at a time so there is room for improvement. If you always back out of the video before switching to another app it significantly reduces problems. Bottom line: it works well enough I haven't tried to find something better.
I would pay you for a version which could have several camera URLs saved and wasn't quite so temperamental.
I use it with linksys IP camera, it's simple and works. Only defect is sometime blacking out.
There is a problem with the onResume method not displaying the video after coming back to another app. Pressing back and show refreshes video properly.
It works perfectly, but it's missing some features like being able to save more than one URL.
Work perfect with feeds from my linux motion server and mjpg-streamer feeds. Just needs a feature to save multiple cameras.
Works great. I've had it for about 2 months now and haven't had any issues. We use it to view a camera in out baby nursery. Works great!
Does stream, but can be very buggy. Have to open and close the url to get it to load feed a second time. If feed didn't load, sometimes have to end and relaunch the app. Sometimes it hangs and locks up the device. Only way to solve being pulling out the battery.
Works as advertised. Simple and clean with username and password support. Please add support for saving a list of URLs or a history.
A nice though basic viewer app that needs some debugging in its Activity life cycle as crashes on phone rotate and on resume.
I set up an online webcam using an old laptop, Ubuntu and Motion and a USB webcam. This app plays the stream on my phone with no problems.
Couldn't open a stream due to some specific address. Mjpg viewer did it smoothly.
Great app for seeing live webcams. Tested with openwrt on tp-link wr1043nd running mjpg_streamer.
This app works great. Simple, easy to use, and fast. Using DDNS and some port forwarding I can access the Lowe's IRIS camera.
I was looking for something to view my remote webcam setup. Streaming through a mobile browser isn't possible (or at least very difficult) and this was incredibly easy to setup and use. (I'm also using Tasker to kick off the program combined with motion sensor alerts that get sent to my phone while I'm out.) Is there a way to launch the program and pass in a URL directly? That would be a nice feature. Also the ability to save multiple sites.
Typed the correct url and appbjust stops when I go to "show"
I've never felt inclined to rate an App before, but this is superb! Simple, working in seconds, so pleased I can see my video stream on the go. And free! Huge thanks x
Lenovo TPT Really handy.... connects directly to the dlink dcs-932l ipcamera. perfectly. If it could be customised for audio from that device I'd rate it 6/5
It never reconnects automatically though
can play a cgi stream from a website... tried dozens, this one works!
This app works like a charm! Let's me keep keep an eye on my shop!
Very simple to use and clean. Works through firewall port forwarding too!
codec faults or need a player for M-JPEG ,thought this would allow me to view mini cam . so far nothing to view only sound
