Admin panel not working

As far as I understand for the default configuration (the one that is in the guide) the admin panel should be under localhost:8000/admin for me this is not working

If I navigate to this URL I get a message saying Cannot GET /admin

If I do try to get the /api endpoints they do work, like http://localhost:8000/api/streams or http://localhost:8000/api/server

Can someone help me discover why /admin doesn’t work?

I am using Node V8 and MacOS

Hi @Alevale - I am just starting to use Node Media Server and installed the base package discussed here (npm install node-media-server), and the app.js described in the readme. Then I started it all with DEBUG=* node app.js (note the DEBUG=* only increases the log output but it may be able to tell you something that you weren’t looking at before).

Then I was actually already able to get the /admin running without any additional steps. I didn’t need to download the admin dashboard extra or into a different folder. It seems to be bundled with the node-media-server package already.

Maybe you can try to run npm install node-media-server or npm update node-media-server to see if you got the latest version?

P.S.: I am on macOS as well.

Cheers, Chris

TBH I have no idea about how to do that… Maybe you could take a look into the package that is the base for the video encoder and see if there’s an option to do that? 🤔

No issues, your comment about OBS put me to the right path though. In short, I will be trying to use ffmpeg to take the stream url as input and output it to the node media server, then node media server will stream it further.
