No Live View on PC

If the browser you are trying to use is MS Edge then... Was it working before, like last week, and then stopped working recently?
I ask becasue mine stopped working after a recent MS Edge update and I had to load the latest "Web Plugin Components":

All of the plugins in the one zip file?

I did the WebPlugins.exe and no change then did the -64.exe and still no change. I see nothing on Chrome and only in Full Screen mode in Edge.The zip file contains:
View attachment 227904
I think you just need to run the WebPlugins.exe file... I ran the Webplugins-x64.exe file first, but that did not work... then I ran the WebPlugins.exe file and live view started working
The plug ins usually only work for Internet Explorer.
Yeah we know but it is still native to Windows and will be for a long time.
How to enable native Internet Explorer in Windows 10 and 11:

How to enable native Internet Explorer in Windows 10 and 11:
- Open Notepad:
- Copy then paste the single line of code below into Notepad:
- CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application").Visible=true
- Save as OpenIE.vbs
- Make sure the the file name ends in .vbs not .txt, If it ends in .txt you must rename to .vbs
- Create a shortcut to the above file and double-click it anytime you want native Internet Explorer.
I think these non-IE plug-ins are intended for Edge/Chrome:
I just remembered we have spoken before @leetudor ... went we spoke last you have 2 cameras but no NVR?
The new plugins fixed the problem on my NVR live view... but live view on the camera's GUI still did not work.... the camera GUI live views only started working after I then downloaded/(re)installed the plugin from the camera GUI here:
Download the plug-in, close the browser, run the downloaded plug-in, restart the browser and live view should work again.

Thanks guys, I've tried all the above and still not working. I've tried on IE, Edge and Chrome.
Seems like everyone gets different results... This has been discussed on other sites too... it seems like some people have to reload plugins and reboot more than once and then live view starts working again.
After reading this thread, I logged onto my NVR in Edge for the first time in weeks. Same problem, no live feed but OK in HikConnect.
I don't see it mentioned here, but you should be downloading the LocalServices plugin. That's what I did, opened Edge and everything is fine now.

Yes, "LocalServices plugin" is downloaded here:

When you log into the camera GUI and click here (your menu may be different depending on the camera model/firmware version):
You will get something similar to this to download the plug-in:
Then close the browser and run the plug-in that was downloaded:
