Some required system libraries appear to be missing on your server, which prevents the livestream plugin from loading correctly. For deployment on remote headless servers or in the clould, we recommend using the Isaac sim container installation, which comes with the necessary dependencies preconfigured. Please follow the steps in the container installation guide here:
https://docs.isaacsim.omniverse.nvidia.com/5.1.0/installation/install_container.html

I'm also closing #522 as a duplicate of this thread so we can track the issue in one place.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I couldn't access the assets in the Isaac container.
