FPP Proxy?

[Gilrock]

I don't know I checked the latest Falcon manual and it says wireless is not active yet.  Not sure if that's outdated or not.  Is yours a V3?  I'm afraid you've hit my limit of network knowledge.  Only way I'd think you could get to the Falcon is some kind of routing table entry.

Yup....all F16v3's.... Well...I do have a work around at least.  I can default the E682's and get to them that way....it's just a pain when they are out in the yard to have to go out and use the program button to default them to something I can reach with my 'puter.

Thanks for trying....I appreciate your effort.

Santacarl,

I also have E682s in my display and used the FPP Proxy (along with 2 BBBs) to add all of my devices to the Master Pi. Oddly enough, while I can get to either of the BBBs running FPP, when I try to "proxy in" to any of the E682s, I get a partial web page popping up, but I can't change a single item in there. I tried accessing via a tablet and with my home PC and it works the same for both.

A little frustrating because I have to do what you do - disconnect everything, bring in the E682 in it's box, hit the Prog button and go back to default value, access via the web browser (after connecting the E682 to my home network), change any items, set the IP address back to the value it was for the show/display, unplug, and put it back outside and reconnect everything.    Now, while I don't have to change things often, things like this make me want to switch over to Falcon controllers and ditch my E682s. Nothing against the guys that make FPP and included the Proxy, and nothing against San Devices, but I'd like to know why I can't access my controller it through a proxy?

The SanDevices t don't actually implement HTTP protocol properly and the Proxy stuff in the Apache web server that we use requires the other side to actually implement HTTP. 

If you use Wireshark or similar to trace the connection from your browser to the SanDevice when connected locally, you will see that the response does not contain ANY HTTP headers.   There is no response code, no content-length header, not content-type, nothing.   To get it to work would require a new firmware for the Sandevices thing that actually returns proper HTTP.

I am so glad we have many smart people here to answer questions. 

I had no idea that the Sandevices controllers lacked that HTTP capability. I've enjoyed my E682s, and they have been quite reliable, but unless some things change, I might see myself trying to switch out from those to Falcon controllers. Granted, I don't have a huge show, but once things are up and in place, it's a huge PITA to try to alter any settings.
