Live Streaming Fails

[boarder010]

---figured it out right after posting, leaving here in case anyone comes across the same issue---

having some issues with live streams on Homebridge and any help would be appreciated! I haven't made any changes to the network/Homebridge/ring settings, but now anytime I try to view a cameras steam it fails. I've rebooted/restarted all devices, refreshed token, no E2EE enabled, but no luck. I get the snapshots, but when I try for the live stream it shoots back "no response" and the log below. On the ring app it does show it recorded 1 second of the attempt.

SOLUTION: I enabled a DMZ host for Homebridge on my router and that ended up resolving the issue. not sure why since i never had to do that before, but maybe there have been changes with how the ring plugin and ring servers talk to each other.

Homebridge 1.3.4
node 14.17.5
Ring 9.21.0

I had to create a DMZ host for the Homebridge on my router. After that, all streams working without issue.

Thanks for the answer. This has helped me as well. I have one question. I initially set up my DMZ to allow all traffic but what is the specific application that I am supposed to allow?

Thanks again!
