OBS droidcam on Android won't connect

[Patrick E Regini]

I've got a Huawei cellphone. I Installed the obs droidcam plug in on both computer and phone. The image captured by the phone, never makes it to my laptop. After opening OBS on my laptop the cellphone will show the capture for a second but then disappear alternating with an error message on the cellphone that says "connection timed out", getting suck in a loop between image and error message. I did everything it tells you to check, like allow appliction to get by your firewall, USB debugging on the phone and so forth. I don't know what else to do, obs's page dev47 Q&A does not help at all! .... Anyone know what could be going on???

Never tried that app, I'm using this one instead: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pas.webcam&hl=it&gl=US
Very easy to setup and works just fine for me.

I'll wait a few days, then maybe try others. Thanks! I just thought that because it carried the name obs, it had to work smoother or something.

Well, I didn't like it because you have to install their client on Windows, while IP Webcam sends the stream to a local address and that's it, you capture it with OBS.

Oh wait. ... "install their client on Windows"?? what does that mean? Maybe that's what I was doing wrong!

I meant the OBS Plugin that's in their website.
It's probably OK but the less software I install, the better I feel.
