Camera not connecting to SmartDashboard

When trying to use the camera in a latest build of SmartDashboard (with either a camera widget or a custom one derived from the camera one), a pink box shows up that says something like "Cannot Connect to Camera". However, using the same IP adress that's set for the properties of the dashboard widget, we can see the video in a web browser. The camera has an FRC account/password, and it also allows anonymous viewing. This problem has been happening on and off, and sometimes, but usually not, restarting SmartDashboard makes it start working after a minute or so. Right now, it's doing this all the time.

Has anyone had similar problems? Is there a fix?
