Hello Dojo,

As described in these two questions it is possible to display a HLS stream in dashboards:

This is working fine but I would like to know what the requirements are to make this work in a cloud connected agent, meaning that if I want to access to dashboards using dataminer.services what security settings have to be applied to the VideoThumbnails server and the HLS stream.

Thank you!

Remote access via dataminer.services will only create a tunnel to the DMA, so it's not possible to proxy requests via dataminer.services to other devices in the private network that are not the DMA.

To get a HLS stream working, technically I'm thinking of the following options:

  • The HLS stream is publicly available on the Internet, this could be achieved by opening it in the firewall, or by setting up a proxy.
  • The HLS stream could be reverse-proxied on the DMA, this way the stream can be opened from the DMA, which can be made accessible through dataminer.services (however, this is not possible yet). Big advantage of this would be that the authentication of dataminer.services would be applied, and the stream doesn't have to be publicly available on the Internet.
