Switchboard nDevice Node wont connect with Switchboard Listener

[rikuuu7]

Hello,

I am relatively new to Unreal Engine and Virtual Production. Currently, I am working on setting up a Virtual Production Studio with an LED wall, but I would like to test everything on one of my monitors at home first.

I have set up nDisplay but am experiencing issues with Switchboard. Despite entering the correct IP of my PC, Switchboard fails to maintain a connection. It worked once, but I have been trying for hours without success. The Switchboard Listener briefly shows “connected” in green and then immediately switches to “disconnected”

I have also tried the setup on my laptop, and everything works perfectly there. However, when I try to control the main PC from the laptop and enter its IP, it briefly connects and then immediately disconnects. I have tried running the program as an administrator and reinstalling dependencies, but unfortunately, it didn’t help.

Attached are some screenshots of Switchboard and Switchboard Listener:

Do you have any idea what might be causing this issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance and sorry for the inconvenience.

Best regards,
Leo

It could be this issue

5.4 Switchboard only connects as admin

I work at a university managing servers that multiple people will use to access Unreal Engine, and we just migrated to 5.4. Everything works well, except Switchboard randomly stopped working. It was working fine on 5.4, and then it just wasn’t. Switchboard won’t even connect to its own PC. When I try to connect, Switchboard gives me this readout [13:21:40][D]: Using proactor: IocpProactor [13:21:40][D]: editort: device status change: CONNECTING [13:21:40][I]: Connecting to 10.16.46.93:2980 [13…

It could be some sort of firewall as well. This video may help.

Thank you for your help. I had seen the post before and actually tried it… apparently, I just did something wrong. I just have to remove it again after using it. Now almost everything works. Previously, everything worked but for some reason, I got a black screen. Also, is it possible to adjust the quality of the outer frustum? And also the inner frustum? When I enter my monitor dimensions, the display is accordingly smaller and then the quality of the inner frustum is extremely poor but the outer frustum is very good.
