camera not showing

[AsianRookie]

Hello guys, I wanted to view the camera in the driver station smartdashboard, but when I click add, it does not show Camera as a selection. In default dashboard, the camera is enabled and works. So is there anything I have to configure?

Did you configure the camera for anonymous viewing? See http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/3120/m/8559/l/89729

yes, but it still does not show up. Also it is now disabled by default.

Our team is having the same probem, and the autonomus viewing didn't fix anything

Team 3260 programmer here, we are having the exact same problem. Anonymous viewing is enabled and we can see the camera through the online page but the SmartDashboard is not displaying it. I've tried rebuilding all of the SmartDashboard/WPIJavaCV/NetworkTables/(pretty much everything that we have access to the source of) but I have yet to find a solution. We have tried completely resetting and reconfiguring the camera, using the automated utility, plugging it into the radio, and plugging it into the cRIO all to no avail.

This may sound stupid, but I spent 2 hours trouble shooting and I just typed the ip wrong in the SmartDashboard, is your ip right?

I've checked the IP a few times and even tried assigning a completely different IP address to the camera. The "Default" dashboard wouldn't work if it weren't set to the correct IP, either.

Is there any chance you could send me your entire SmartDashboard folder? (Extensions and all) I'd like to see if it is simply a build related issue.

I would but I am at home now and we don't meet again until Friday because this week is finals for us. Hopefully some other team could.

Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? We're still without camera in our SmartDashboard.

Also I tried to use a modified camera widget displaying a crosshair, and that also did not work. There was also an update to FRC tools, but it did not fix anything with the camera problem.

Check what the fps is for the stream. We had an issue where SmartDashboard Camera did not work if it got a fps under 30.
