A quick way to verify your MJPEG stream configuration is to open the URL in VLC Media Player:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK Connection: close Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2023 12:00:00 GMT Server: Axis HTTP Server Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace; boundary=--myboundary no-store Content-Type: multipart/x-mixed-replace
A typical approach involves:
cap.release() out.release()
curl --anyauth --user "root:password" "http://192.168.0.90/axis-cgi/param.cgi?action=list&group=Image.I0"
