Open any track's scoring page — the extension reads it automatically
Step 2

Tips & Troubleshooting

Finding the subdomain
The subdomain is the first part of the LiveRC URL. For https://racetime.liverc.com, the subdomain is racetime.
Extension shows red ERR badge
Check that your Dashboard URL is correct in the extension settings and that the RCStats.io dashboard is running.
No data on the /live page
Make sure the LiveRC scoring page is open in another tab and showing active race data. The extension only reads data when there's an active race on the LiveRC page.
Data privacy
The extension only reads the public LiveRC scoring page that any visitor can see. It does not log in, modify data, or access any private LiveRC systems. All data flows to your own RCStats.io dashboard instance.
Multiple tracks
You can open multiple LiveRC scoring tabs for different tracks simultaneously. Each will bridge independently to your dashboard.
