    Hi,

    I attempted to install H264 but got a message in terminal that connection to the network was unexpectedly terminated. And I did not get a "done" message after some libraries were being installed.

    How can I check whether H264 was installed?

    1. TinyPilot mouse and keyboard lattency too slow
    2. How do I know H264 is enabled besides seeing "Janus" in htop ?

        Hello @asd - I'm sorry you are having this issue. Thank you for posting your question here.

        I would try Turning off H264 and watch for errors. Then try Enabling H264 video again.

        As a last resource, and since your system might be in an inconsistent state, please see this FAQ: How do I factory reset my TinyPilot device? and start all over.

          If you open the JavaScript console in your browser while viewing the TinyPilot web dashboard and run this command, it will tell you which video format TinyPilot is using:

          document.getElementById('remote-screen').shadowRoot.getElementById('mjpeg-output').src === '' ? 'h264' : 'mjpeg'

          Alternatively, you can go to System > Logs and then scroll down to "uStreamer configuration." If your device is configured to use H264, you'll see these flags listed under the uStreamer settings:

            --h264-sink tinypilot::ustreamer::h264 \
  --h264-sink-mode 777 \
  --h264-sink-rm
