This is our first year working with the Limelight (1) and I’ve been able to successfully connect, image and receive values tx, ty, and ta values. However, no matter what I try, I cannot view the stream of the camera through the web browser or the driver station. Advice?
Probably worth mentioning what you’ve already tried.
Sorry, I’m new, I’ve connected the power to the limelight and setup all of the network variables in the settings on the browser. The ethernet is going to the router and the router is hooked to the rio and receiving power from the PDP
What programming language are you using?
How are you connecting to the limelight in the browser?
Sorry, Java and I’m using http://limelight.local:5801. I’m able to connect to the limelight and configure it but I’m unable to get a video stream.
Where are you looking for the video stream? In the limelight configuration page? Dashboard (labview? smartdashboard? shuffleboard?)
Looked for the video stream in the limelight config page as well as the FRC Driver Station, the limelight does show as a valid camera in the driver station but the feed is empty
Do you see changing tx and ty values when you read from networktables?
Network tables? Sorry, I’m new 
No problem! You said that you were able to see tx and ty values. Were they changing while you were reading them? Were they always zero?
Yes, I was able to get the tx and ty values in the config for the limelight, in the browser. They were accurate, I was testing it with a piece of reflective tape.
Ok, that is a good sign. Can you try accessing the configuration page with your static ip address? Instead of http://limelight.local:5801, you can try http://10.71.91.11:5801.
You can also use the new Finder Tool from https://limelightvision.io/pages/downloads to access the page directly.
Yeah, I’ve tried accessing it using the static and it won’t load 
Which image are you using? Here are three more things to try:
- Disable the Windows firewall
- Make sure you are using google chrome
- Try accessing the stream using port 5800 rather than 5801
Alright, I’ve tried 5800 as well with no results, but I have been using Edge. Is that a major issue? I’ll definitely try Chrome tomorrow when I get back to the shop
I had similar issues first it takes a while to load from browsing the IP and port second we forgot to input the team number
I’m sure I inputed the team number, I’m considering resetting the limelight and re-imaging from scratch.

If it happens to be an old version of edge, it may be the source of the problem. You shouldn’t need to re-image, but I would make sure you are using 2020.2

Just re-imaged yesterday, I believe it was 2020.2
Got it working this morning, after resetting the IP via the button on the bot. We had bought it off of another team, and I think that was what was causing issues. Also, switching to Chrome was a godsend. Thanks for the help!
