Signaling URL keeps changing to ws://localhost in all examples?

When I run

webserver.exe -w

on a second PC and start the Broadcast example, then try connecting the Receiver example by setting signaling URL as ws://192.168.0.101 to point to my second PC I see immediately after pressing play the Signaling URL field becomes ws://localhost

What is the purpose of Signaling URL? Is it possible to enter a remote IP address of a PC running the server?

After pressing Start in the receiver example the Unity log prints:
Signaling: WS is not connecting. Unable to send message
Signaling: WS connection closed, code 1006

Can someone please help me understand how to setup the examples so that Receiver on PC1 can connect to the Broacast from PC2?



When I run the Broadcast and Receiver examples on the same PC they connect and I can see the render stream. But I am puzzled how any of this works beyond the localhost. What do I need to setup or configure to allow PC1 and PC2 to communicate and stream video or rendering from one project to another?

Also I am wondering if it is possible to skip the webserver step entirely, and just have PC1 call PC2 and connect directly??

Thank you.

 

Thank you. I realized immediately after trying to connect with the web browser that it was a firewall related issue that was causing the connection to fail.
