[BUG] Mangled video with self-hosted server & Crowsnest

[whi-tw]

Describe the bug Video stream appears mangled in obico-server. Unsure if this is a me-problem, but the stream works fine when viewed directly in the browser (http://klipper/webcam?action=stream) but the stream in the obico-server view is garbage after loading (the initial snapshot looks fine). Looks to possibly be an encoding problem, maybe?

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the app, observe that the webcam snapshot looks ok
2. Wait for the stream to start
3. Observe that the stream looks like garbage

Screenshots

Hosting environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: debian
• Version:
  • moonraker-obico#2e2cefa
  • obico-server#72b26df
  • mainsail-crew/crowsnest#5418550
• Hardware: PC

Additional context I've tested this, and the stream is broken on MacOS (Safari / Chromium) and in the iOS app.

crowsnest camera config:

[cam top]

This has been observed with high resolutions. Try something lower than 800x600 and I believe it will work. I'm using 640x480 and it is operational. I believe Kenneth mentioned a fix is in process

I have the same problem，the webcam window is black and change resolution to 640*480 can't fit
