:connection failed while trying to stream via web

PittCaleb — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 13:02:14 GMT

I can stream from my phone and I (swear I) used to be able to stream from my browser, but of late, not at all.

On the same browser, I can view recordings, just not view live video.

Thoughts?

Can't see the image until it's approved but a browser issue is usually really a Flash issue. Is the browser and its Flash installation up to date? What is the browser? Have you tried another? Sometimes flushing the browser cache and/or restarting the browser helps.

Chrome 57 - think Flash is baked into it although I thought it wasn't even supported in lieu of html5

Tried in MSIE, it failed to work, but no error message.

Tried Firefox, on the camera view, it requested i update flash, so I did.

After browser recycle, it too failed - just "Please wait..." After about 15 seconds, just goes to the still grap and "> Live" icon overlay.

I know this has worked. My corp network shouldn't be the issue, could it though? I can stream most anything here from ESPN to CNN. Don't know why this would be blocked or inaccessible.

I am unable to remote into my home system to see if it works from there right now.

I can tell you that corporate firewalls can and do block the streams. I can't access them from the browser at my office either, but I can access them fine from my phone. When I'm anywhere else (not at work), I can access them from the web, again, without issue. Have you tried from the browser on your home pc?

*if* nothing changed, then yes, because i know ive seen them in a browser. Perhaps even my work laptop from home just not VPN'd.

I'm willing to accept this being a corp policy/firewall issue. Will test again from home, and with work laptop with and without VPN which will prove the firewall issue.

Thx
