Setup on server

Config

Server config is located in config/webcam/server.json

Here are the default values with their descriptions:

{
  "port": 25454, // Webcam UDP server port. This must not clash with Minecraft port (usually 25565) or any other (like Simple Voice Chat port)
  "bind_address": "", // Address to bind server to. Leave blank to use server-ip property from the server.properties
  "host": "", // The hostname that clients should use to connect to the Webcam server
