how to stream on hero 5 black?

[victory93]

I cloned the Github code and executed it. And this pic is the result.
be unresponsive The preview window won't open. I tried it with a virtual box on ubuntu, but it's the same.
I didn't have a Wireless LANCard, so I connected Wi-Fi with my cell phone and connected it to my computer with usb tethering. Can this be a problem?
I had no problem controlling the camera by connecting to usb tethering.

I'll wait for a good answer. Thank you.

Try disabling the firewall, see if it helps.

same issue here, when connecting to gopro directly from my computer's wifi, ffplay receives data and preview window shows up.

however, when connecting with android phone's wifi and tethering to the computer, the camera can be controlled but the stream cannot be accessed

i don't believe there is any firewall blocking going on the phone nor computer

anyone faced this before and managed to find a fix?

ps. im on hero 6, mac and android running lineage

so in case anyone is facing an issue with connecting with android tethering setup: you need to forward the udp unicast port from the wifi connection to the tethered connection.

there are probably many ways to achieve this, but i used a free app from play store Fwd: port forwarder here

1. connect android phone to gopro wifi
2. enable usb tethering
3. check your tethered client ip, say its 192.168.42.77
4. open port forwarder app
   a) hit the + button
   b) choose udp protocol
   c) from wlan0 (might differ, you want the wifi interface)
   d) source port 8554
   e) target ip address: 192.168.42.77
   f) target port, could probably be anything > 1024, but id stick to 8554
   g) hit save and start
5. ffplay from GoProStream.py should be able to connect fine now
