Install

Requirements

Install the mod

CKAN: search for JustReadTheInstructions in CKAN and install it.

SpaceDock: download from the SpaceDock page and install it the same way as the GitHub ZIP below.

GitHub: download the latest ZIP from the Releases page, extract it, and move the JustReadTheInstructions folder into your KSP GameData folder.

Your final install should look like this:

Kerbal Space Program/
└── GameData/
    └── JustReadTheInstructions/

First run

  1. Start KSP and fly a craft with a Hullcam VDS camera.
  2. Press Ctrl + Alt + F7 to open JRTI's window and see the camera list.
  3. Open http://localhost:8080/ in a browser. The page works offline: it loads nothing from the internet.

To open it from another device, such as a phone or the computer running OBS, use the network address shown at the bottom of the web UI, for example http://192.168.1.10:8080/. If the port is already used by another program, see Troubleshooting.

Updating

Extract the new release over the existing JustReadTheInstructions folder and overwrite the files. Do not delete the folder first: your settings, saved layouts and recordings live inside it, in PluginData/ and Web/recordings/, and releases never contain those.

Platforms

Platform Notes
Windows Fully supported. H.264 recording needs nothing extra
Linux Supported. Recording needs ffmpeg, see Linux and Proton
Linux with Proton Supported. Recording needs a static ffmpeg build, see Linux and Proton
macOS Camera streaming works but uses a synchronous GPU readback, as Metal does not support Unity's async readback API. This blocks the main thread briefly each captured frame and may stutter at higher stream framerates
