i do maintain an experimental motion snap in the snap store, to make it
work out of the box i had to change the "webcontrol_localhost off" in
motion.conf, seems upstream picked the most secure options and defaults
to only allow localhost if you do not touch the config ...

check if that option is turned off in your config (or feel free to use
my snap "sudo snap install motion-ogra --edge", the config for it lives
in /var/snap/motion-ogra/<version>/motion.conf )
