Security

Misc

When the connection to the server is interrupted, e.g: the LAN cable gets unplugged, the WiFi connection gets dropped, the internet is down etc, the browser will need to be closed and reopened when the connection is restored.

Failure to close and reopen the browser will cause the audio to stop working, although the video would still work.
