Apparently it seems that all HTTP/RTSP support was removed with v2 of the firmware :(

Is there any way to downgrade to 1.X? My camera already came with v2.

Here are the settings working for a version 1.01.01

with h720 codec
[General]
Source: libvlc

[Source]
Source Path: http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/video/flv.cgi
Method: TCP
Colourspace: 24-bit
Width: 1280
Height: 720

with MJPEG
curl "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@xxx.xxx.xxx.xx ... odec=MJPEG"
(if needed you can revert doing curl "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@xxx.xxx.xxx.xx ... codec=H264" )
then
[General]
Source Type: remote

[Source]
Remote Protocol: HTTP
Remote Method: Simple
Remote Hostname: USERNAME:PASSWORD@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /video/mjpg.cgi
color: 24 bits
Width: 1280
Height: 720


with JPEG
[General]
Source Type: remote

[Source]
Remote Protocol: HTTP
Remote Method: Simple
Remote Hostname: USERNAME:PASSWORD@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Remote Host Port: 80
Remote Host Path: /video/jpeg.cgi
color: 24 bits
Width: 640
Height: 360


Currently I am still unable to access my camera with firmware 2.00.05 . It seems that password is randomly generated on upgrade, unless someone can confirm the old one set when still on version 1.01.01 remains.

Enabling the HTTP support is still possible in the v2 firmwares.

EDIT: Got RTSP working too. It is actualy even simpler than HTTP, since it can be permanently enabled by Bluetooth without any modifications to the firmware at all.

Please see https://github.com/bmork/defogger for a guide on how to enable RTSP, lighttpd and telnetd. The guide includes a Bluetooth tool making the mydlink app and clound unnecessary even for initial setup.
