<![CDATA[can't get the webcam to work]]>I’ve tried 3 different webcams, played with resolutions and doesn’t matter what I do, I always get the following message:

Webcam.js Error: Could not access webcam:
NotSupportedError: Only secure origins are allowed
(see: https://goo.gl/Y0ZkNV). NotSupportedError: Only
secure origins are allowed (see: https://goo.gl/Y0ZkNV).

anyone knows by any chance what it means and how to get the webcam to work?

Have a look here for @mochman’s ipWhiteList config walkthrough. If you’re on an IPv6 network, it’s not altogether intuitive for those of us who grew accustomed to IPv4.

I don’t know exactly how it’s working with 0.0.0.0 and reaching the loopback to display the server, but Chromium (and therefore electron) will only allow the camera over http for those addresses.

var config =
{
address: “0.0.0.0”,
electronOptions: {

},
ipWhitelist: [
	"127.0.0.1",
	"::ffff:127.0.0.1",
	"::1",
	"192.168.44.1/24"
],

See the notes here for Chrome and requiring SSL, and exceptions for localhost and 127.*.*.*. Is the address in your config still localhost?
