PiCar B GUI not working properly

1588936473

Using MAC OS: I run python3 GUI.py, enter correct IP and hit connect then get the following error [1] in terminal

The GUI server and motor buttons are working (forwards, backwards, left, right and head controls) - the camera is not working and neither are the keybaord controls

In some cases the TCP port 5555 is already in use by another process, so u have to stop this process or change the port in server/client to another, e.g. 6666
