@tyrone-creed No you should not have to reboot the machine. You can restart the Monocle Gateway service either using the Windows Service Manager (GUI) tool or by using the following command in a command/shell window from the directory where you have the Monocle Gateway files: monocle-gateway.exe --restart (See: https://monoclecam.com/monocle-gateway/install/windows#windows-service for more commands.) Thanks, Robert

FireTV 4K Stick (3rd Generation) [2018] The Monocle skill can be used to display local IP camera feeds to your FireTV 4K Stick (Generation 1) however, only when running the Monocle Gateway service locally on your network. FireTV 4K (3rd Generation) The Monocle Gateway service is required because the latest Amazon Alexa enabled device implement further restrictions and only permit RTSP connections from these devices to camera endpoints over encrypted (TLS) transport layer and only permitted to connect on port 443 using fully qualified domain names with valid a SSL certificate. These rigid requirements make it near impossible for most IP cameras to work directly with Alexa devices and thus the Monocle Gateway service acts as a bridge by fulfilling these requirements and enabling communications with your local IP cameras.

@Monocle Pretty cool project! I already thought about that, because the code and the description looked a lot like https://github.com/MonocleCam/MonocleArduino

@bms231 The next thing to try would be to use the following (2) tags “@proxy, @hangup”. This will slightly modify the behavior of the proxy connection logic to terminate the TCP/IP connection immediately after a stream is stopped rather than keeping it around for re-use. (similar to using @tunnel, but using the proxy RTSP implementation instead) This is somewhat of a shot in the dark, but worth a try. (Note, you can also try using @proxy-tcp instead of @proxy as well for another test.) Thanks, Robert

@Clammy42 Glad to hear its working! Some Fire Tablets do require the Monocle Gateway software, although I’m not 100% certain as to which specific models. My Fire HD 7 seems to work without the Monocle Gateway for my Amcrest and Hikvision cameras. Thanks, Robert
