Internet explorer tries to save a video stream.

GavinH · 2010-02-10 09:03:28

Hi, I have setup an IP Camera at home. When I try to access the stream remotely from IE, it tries to save the CGI file instead of streaming. This doesn't happen in Crome or FireFox. e.g. http://myipaddress.xxx.net/videostream.cgi is there anyway to force it to play, rather then prompting to stream? Thanks Gavin

Might be the case that IE doesn't have a suitable plugin to play it, what type of format is the video in?
