 +**NOTE: Video Pitcher is now deprecated in favor of the new [[video|Video control and recording system]]. It continues to be supported for as long as the app will continue to run on newer OSX versions.**

 Video Pitcher is an IP Camera monitoring application with special features for easily connecting to XTension and providing the ability to record snippets of video in response to motion or other commands. It automatically creates video streams within XTension which can be used in views and also automatically appears on the list of available video streams to be viewed though the X2Web interface.  Video Pitcher is an IP Camera monitoring application with special features for easily connecting to XTension and providing the ability to record snippets of video in response to motion or other commands.

 +Version 088 fixes the sign on problem introduced with the most recent Amcrest camera firmware update. The JPEG refresh cam now supports Digest authentication and so will work with Amcrest’s latest firmware and with any other device that requires that form of authentication. Unfortunately it also removes support for RTSP streams as they are no longer a part of Apple’s video support library. They will make a re-appearence in the near future in a new form.

 +Version 086 is a fix for problems storing the preferences when running High Sierra, OSX 10.13 and later.
  
 Version 080 adds reception of motion sensing and sound sensing from recent Foscam cameras. Version 080 adds reception of motion sensing and sound sensing from recent Foscam cameras.

 +  * [[http://www.machomeautomation.com/files/videopitcher_088.zip|Download v3.2.4 (build 88)]] (11/20/2017) 
 +  * Fix for a problem signing into Amcrest cameras with the latest firmware update. They disabled “basic” authentication and now require “Digest” authentication. This version supports Digest authentication to Amcrest cameras or any other device that requires it via the JPEG Refresh camera type.
 +  * Removed support for the RTSP stream type. Apple removed support for RTSP in their media handling libraries a long time ago but I’ve been linking in an old version to keep supporting it. Unfortunately I cannot link in both the older quick time libraries and the newer libraries that support the Digest authentication required by the newer amcrest cameras. I can re-do an RTSP stream in a future version if this is something people still need.
