KVMD 4.29: H.264 over HTTP
I know that some people have a problem using H.264 and WebRTC with firewalls, NAT, Tailscale and other things. Until recently, the only alternative was MJPEG, which consumes a lot of traffic. So I was constantly researching whether something could be done about it, and finally found a way.
Starting with KVMD 4.29, in addition to WebRTC, a new method of direct transmission of H.264 over HTTP will be available to you. Is the Web UI working? Then direct video transmission will also work. This completely solves the problem of WebRTC unavailability.
