Please turn on TeamViewer that's the only way I'm going to find what the issue is.

Your software was out of date.  I updated myServer software and then updated OS.  You need to locally reboot myServer as it is now offline for remote access.  You may need a HDMI monitor / wireless keyboard to reboot.  That's as far as we got.

Many thanks for having a look, but it didn't solve the issue.

I think I may just proceed with my idea of running mediamtx on a separate server and accessing the stream URLs from the relevant MyDesigner 6 component.

I also want to explore doing some more bespoke things with the feeds.

An example of what I want to achieve (which I suspect I can't do via the MyServer and drivers) is to use FFMPEG to combine all four of my CCTV feeds into a grid and output that as a single video feed. I noticed the remote really struggling to display four simultaneous feeds so I want to put the hard work on the server and make it easier on the remote. Suspect I can't do that easily (or at all) via the built in drivers.

Current idea is that when a MediaMTX URL is accessed it triggers FFMPEG to combine the four feeds and MediaMTX serves them up as a single combined video. I think that will be much easier on the remote. I need the trigger in place as I obviously want to avoid a lot of system resources otherwise being used up combining video sources that are not being viewed.

I'll let you know how I get on. It doesn't fix the issue with being unable to configure the driver locally, but I can see that the idea of combining video feeds may be worth the additional effort.

fearnley, we never got to that. We updated the software, and OS and that's as far as we got. Please enable TeamViewer if you would like support.
Thanx
