MainsailOS VS MJPG-streamer

I used a MainsailOS image from https://github.com/mainsail-crew/MainsailOS/releases the ...orangepi-orangepi_zero2.img.xz image

You need a Raspberry Pi. I would recommend downloading MainsailOS and putting it on the Pi. That has all the things you need pre-installed and you only have to configure it

Make a PR! https://github.com/mainsail-crew/MainsailOS

Here is the mainsail.cfg file

include the code from that mainsail.cfg file in your printer.cfg file(above the "Do not edit below this line" section)

You need to use raspi light "classic" or mainsailos from https://github.com/mainsail-crew/MainsailOS/releases/tag/0.5.0 to insure your raspian is buster and not bullseye.

However MainSailOS is a beautiful Klipper front end project too. https://github.com/mainsail-crew/MainsailOS

Yes it would be the optimal way to setup Octoprint or finished Raspberry Images like FluiddPi or MainsailOS Octoprint is the „official“ base for Klipper though personally I never had a need for Octoprint Plug-ins and use FluiddPi since a year. Klipper has also its subreddit /r/Klippers

2. https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer/

mjpg-streamer uses MMAL to access the Raspberry Pi Camera data, but that's not implemented on ARM 64-bit Linux.

cd ~ sudo apt-get install cmake libjpeg62-turbo-dev:armhf libjpeg62-turbo-dev imagemagick ffmpeg libv4l-dev cmake git clone https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer.git cd mjpg-streamer/mjpg-streamer-experimental export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. make sudo make install

I think I was able to solve my own issue. I'm now using https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer to start a stream. It creates a minimal web interface at http://pi-address:8080/, and the path /?action=stream can be accessed from MotionEye.

I need to stream all three of them to a Windows computer, so the maximum bandwidth is about 100mbit. I have tried "motion", but the performance is abysmal. I get not more that one frame per second and the latency is 3s. I used https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer with one camera. Its super fluid with a latency of maybe 200ms, and full 30fps. But the stream takes 60mbit/s bandwidth so it is impossible to use all three cameras. I tried changing the jpg quality but mjpg-streamer crashes.

Thanks for your interest! I will opensource this project soon, but in case you want to start off now, here's some resources I used: - MJPG-Streamer https://github.com/jacksonliam/mjpg-streamer - .NET 6, targeting Linux (tutorial:) - dotnet package on linux - My custom designed case (beta!): Bottom part - Top part

Have you looked into mjpg-streamer (or other forks, this was the first Google result)
