As an FTAA and CSA myself, like Greg said,

After another quick skim through this thread, I also haven't seen you clarify exactly what "doesn't work" on the field. Does the stream not appear at all on the Dashboard? Is it choppy or frozen on an image? Do you see any logs? What kind of things did you try and troubleshoot with the FTA/CSA at your event? All of those things can help us understand the problems you're facing and give better ideas on what to try next.

That being said, I'll spitball a few ideas

• Not all network ports are open on the field, see R60 this year

  A. Network Ports:
  i. TCP 1180: Camera data from the roboRIO to the Driver Station (DS) when the camera is connected the roboRIO via USB, bi-directional.
  ii. TCP 1735: SmartDashboard, bi-directional
  iii. UDP 1130: Dashboard-to-ROBOT control data, uni-directional
  iv. UDP 1140: ROBOT-to-Dashboard status data, uni-directional
  v. HTTP 80: Camera connected via switch on the ROBOT, bi-directional
  vi. HTTP 443: Camera connected via switch on the ROBOT, bi-directional
  vii. UDP/TCP 554: Real-Time Streaming Protocol for h.264 camera streaming, bi-directional
  viii. UDP/TCP 5800-5810: Team Use, bi-directional
  
  Teams may use these ports as they wish if they do not employ them as outlined above (i.e. TCP 1180 can be used to pass data back and forth between the ROBOT and the DS if the Team chooses not to use the camera on USB).

• QoS limitations. The radio will limit your connection to 7Mbit/sec (see R60B). If you have the camera configured to stream super high quality video at 60fps, you may run into trouble. This document explains how you can test your bandwidth usage at home. Additionally, the 7Mbit limit is a theoretical ceiling, wireless conditions at your specific event may preclude such speeds. In any case, robot control packets are prioritized over video streaming, so packets from your camera may get dropped, causing issues with your stream.
  
• This one is a real long shot, but I vaguely remember a discussion on a CSA call about a Java WPILib bug with the CameraServer code, I believe it's this on the tracker. I don't know enough about this to recommend further troubleshooting to see if this is what you're experiencing though, I'd have to defer to someone else on the subject.
