# gmotionlive(1)

simple multipart/x-mixed-replace viewer

## NAME

gmotionlive - simple multipart/x-mixed-replace viewer

## SYNOPSIS

**gmotionlive** *url* \[*description*\]

## OPTIONS

- **url**

  URL for the multipart stream, for example: 'http://me!secret@127.0.0.1:8000/stream.cgi'

- **description**

  Alternative text to be displayed instead of the URL (e.g. to have a window title saying 'front door')

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page briefly documents **gmotionlive.** This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**gmotionlive** is a multipart/x-mixed-replace viewer. It uses gnomevfs to open a stream and it displays the downloaded parts.

It was written as a viewer for the motion program  (http://motion.sourceforge.net) but should be usable for other sources such as network cameras.
