My Webcamxp Server 8080 Secret32 Fixed -

Report: WebcamXP server on port 8080 — secret32 fixed

Summary

1. Located the correct config file – not in the GUI, but in %APPDATA%\WebCamXP\config.dat (back it up first).
2. Edited the secret32 value – changed it from the default "" to a custom string (no spaces, alphanumeric only). Let's use "fixedkey2024" as an example.
3. Ensured the web server port was correctly bound to 0.0.0.0:8080 (not just 127.0.0.1).
4. Applied the fix in the URL:
   http://myip:8080/stream?secret32=fixedkey2024
