foscam fi8918w libjpeg decompression failure

Question

Hello, Im attempting to use a foscam fi8918w camera with motion and I keep getting a libjpeg decompression failure error message. Under working devices in this wiki I found this:

Tested on FI8905W? and FI8918W? purchased Mar 2011 netcam_url http://CAMERA_IP/videostream.cgi?user=admin?pwd=password netcam_http keep_alive

but I still get the same error. Ive also tried these (among others):

netcam_url http://192.168.0.24/jpg/image.jpg returns only ONE single image. For Motion to get a video stream you should point the netcam_url to http://192.168.0.24/mjpg/video.mjpg or http://192.168.0.24/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi or http://192.168.0.24/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=320x240 or http://192.168.0.24/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi?resolution=640x480

Could anyone who has gotten one of these to work kindly post your motion.conf file?
