  • Video streaming with webrct and Tailscale
    1 project | /r/Tailscale | 5 Jun 2023
    Hello, thank you for looking into this for me. The 3d printer is running Tailscale on a Raspberry Pi. I’ve tried accessing the stream from both Windows computers and iOS. There are no error messages, just a black screen with a forever-spinning wheel. I can access the GUI, it’s just the video stream that is not going thru. I’m not sure if it uses multicast trafficking. I’m a newbie in these matters. The specific service involved is called Crowsnest. https://github.com/mainsail-crew/crowsnest
