Target indication on dashboard

A couple years ago with Breakaway, WPI provided sample code to send the "target" vector info to the Dashboard and the video stream on the dashboard would overlay green outlines of the targets found. Does the Dashboard this year support similar feature? We can't seem to find any info about this. We also do not find any sample code that is equivalent to the Breakaway sample code. If there is no such support this year, how do teams get feedback on the Dashboard on what targets are found? Since there are four potential targets, we need to give drivers feedback so they can pick which target to shoot.

BTW, we also looked into the new SmartDashboard and couldn't even get the live video stream going. We "added" the "camera" object on the dashboard but it only shows a pink rectangle saying "no connection". We have set the camera IP correctly (10.te.am.11) but it just doesn't connect. Have anybody successfully gotten live stream on the new SmartDashboard? If SmartDashboard doesn't work, we will stick with the old Dashboard. If it does work, does it support target outline overlay?
