Websocket Url Parameter

MacD

We use oakd's behind a modem and port forward everything. We also use the depthai.RemoteVisualizer / OAK Visualizer. Just a quality of life thing, but could we provide the websocket url or port as a parameter in the url to the OAK Visualizer page?

Otherwise it tries a bogus websocket connection like 10 times, and it takes a while before it prompts you for a new websocket url.

Hey MacD - Yes, this should work by passing the WebSocket URL as ws_url in the Visualizer page URL, e.g.:

http://<public-host>:<http-port>/?ws_url=ws://<public-host>:<websocket-port>

For the default dai.RemoteConnection, the WebSocket port is 8765 and the HTTP UI port is 8082, unless overridden with webSocketPort / httpPort. If you are proxying over HTTPS, use wss://... instead of ws://....

Docs: OAK Visualizer and the custom frontend example documents the same ws_url pattern: oak-examples custom frontend.

Best,
