Description
Hello, I have an interesting setup with MotionEye installed on Raspbian OS, and a Debian Server that hosts a MotionEye instance that is the server for the client raspberry pis to connect to. I would like to use MotionEye as a streaming backend for the camera attached to the raspberry pis but I cannot.
When I try to add the Raspberry Pi's Streaming URL from MotionEye (running on the raspberry pi), https://192.168.24:8081/, it initially turns Green, then turns to Grey and says "Unable to connect to device"
It is really upsetting as I would normally connect it as a Remote MotionEye Camera but I cannot use it this way because when I try to use Motion Detection, the fps drops drastically from 30fps to 2-3, as it is doing the processing on the raspberry pi, vs my much much more powerful server. Using the Snapshot JPEG Streaming works, but the fps is capped at around 13-15.
I am willing to attach any and all files that could be helpful identifying the problem as I would be more than happy to help fix this issue for everyone.
