Streaming Problems

Streaming is optional and separate from the app-to-Blender control connection.

Check These Items

  1. Confirm that streaming dependencies finished installing.
  2. Enter Blender Camera View and set an active camera.
  3. Start the streaming server and test its URL with Open Browser.
  4. Verify automatic crop detection or configure Manual Crop Configuration.
  5. Check the stream port and firewall rules.
  6. Reload or stop/start streaming if the preview is stale.

Black preview, stale frames, or low FPS can result from a wrong crop, unavailable display capture, slow Wi-Fi, a blocked port, or high capture load. Compare capture FPS and MJPEG FPS in the add-on Diagnostics panel.

For the normal setup, see Camera Streaming.
