Can not see network camera using netcam_url

(RPI-Bookworm-IMX327 and IMX415)
I've been messing with setting up some rpi surveillance cams at home. The problem that I have is the lack of control of the cameras using the libcamera_params controls and curl. It seems that only some of the commands work. On my IMX327 camera, I can control exposure but not gain. On my IMX415, I can not control either parameter. Both of these things can be controlled on both cameras from the command line using rpicam with no problem without involving motion.

So. I thought that maybe I should just stream the cameras and pick up the feed via netcam_url thinking that it would give me direct control of the cameras outside of motion. I found a nice little python script on raspberrypitips.com that creates an http: stream that works on any browser I try. When the script is running I just enter:
"http://192.168.1.27:8000"
into any browser and I get the camera feed. When I put
"netcam_url http://192.168.1.27:8000"
in the camera1.conf file motion gives me a grey screen with a message that says "UNABLE TO OPEN VIDEO DEVICE". displayed.
At this point I'm not sure if the problem lies in the stream feed from the script or if I don't have the url parameter in the proper format.

I'm going to go ahead and answer my own question here. I got it working by using:
"netcam_url http://192.168.1.27:8000/stream.mjpg
