For others who closed the tab too quickly: it takes about 30 seconds before the black screen is replaced by loaders!

Good point; there's only a single server handling all the requests so things can be a bit slow depending on the time of day. And there are browser limits to the number of concurrent connections.

Mobile browsers with native HLS support are faster as well. Those without need to load everything via https://github.com/video-dev/hls.js/ which slows things down.

I'll try to add some UI feedback so people don't give up too quickly.

I love it. Something like this is exactly what I need for keeping an eye on I-80 when traveling through snowstorms.

https://cwwp2.dot.ca.gov/vm/iframemap.htm is the source if you need specific streams

That map interface is maybe a bit better if you’re looking for a specific route
