Motioneye media browser not working via reverse proxy

The problem

My scenario involves an access to HA via https from nginx (reverse-proxy) which also does SSL offloading.

In this situation, if I access the MotionEye images via the reverse-proxy (https: //public.domain: 8xxx) I see the names of the files, but not the preview nor the photos themselves.

If instead I access it via internal IP (pure HTTP, http: //192.168.x.y: 8123) I see everything correctly.

That’s right, or protect your motionEye instance behind an authenticated reverse proxy (that is accessible both internally and externally).

That’s not really safe as it doesn’t allow for MFA.

An easier solution, and what we use in Frigate, is to implement the proxying in the integration itself – but I didn’t implement that for motionEye.

Do you mind adding to your todo list ? 😉

Hi @chemelli74 , I’m afraid my limited time for open source contributions are going on Frigate at the moment (which supports what you need out of the box). If you’d like work on adding something similar for the motionEye integration, I’m happy to review?
