TRENDnet TV-IP252P

I've got 2 TrendNet TV-IP252P cameras. I can connect to the cameras and view them without issue.
When I add them to the BC beta, it adds them without issue but when I go to LiveView or use the BC app. all I can get is "Buffering". Turned on the camera debug. Nothing in the log. I have some PHP index errors but thats it.
Version: 2.0.0-0beta8.2

What RTSP and MJPEG path are you using for these cameras?
Path to RTSP /mpeg4, MJPEG Port /cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi.
I've tried those others listed on the HCL and

Same issue.
If you open a web browser can you open http://login:password@ipaddress/cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi on the TRENDnet camera? TRENDnet can't seem to keep the same path straight across different models and firmwares. You can also try /mjpeg.cgi
/cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi It tries to open the mjped.cgi.. many many times...
I'm also able to access rtsp://ipaddress/mpeg4 via VLC and I get a stream without a prob
Can you join IRC to see if we can look at this remotely? www.bluecherrydvr.com/irc
To recap our discussion on IRC adding ?tcp at the end of the RTSP path resolved this, and changing the MJPEG URL from /cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi to /cgi/jpg/image.cgi fixed the problem.
Note: TRENDnet cameras do not send the multi-part JPEG (MJPEG) mimetype, so browsers and our software has no idea what to do with the broken /cgi/mjpg/mjpeg.cgi output.
This solution (changing the MJPEG path to " /cgi/jpg/image.cgi") also fixed an identical issue I was having with the TV-IP422.
Can anyone confirm if /cgi/jpg/image.cgi is still working with the latest (9.2)? I'm poking a Trendnet 110W and it doesn't work in the client.
My 422s are still working fine with 9.2 and the /cgi/jpg/image.cgi path.
Thanks!
