PSA: mjpg-streamer, included with OctoPi, will not work with a Pi camera on 64-bit Linux + workaround
Ah, cool, looks like more effort and polish has gone into that than my workaround! I'm a bit disappointed I missed camera-streamer (or saw it and didn't expect it to solve my issue).

mjpg-streamer VS camera-streamer - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 11 Apr 2022
This is yet another camera streamer project that is primarly focused on supporting a fully hardware accelerated streaming of MJPEG streams and H264 video streams for minimal latency. This supports well CSI cameras that provide 10-bit Bayer packed format from sensor, by using a dedicated ISP of Raspberry PI's.

Kilpper/Mainsail/etc and libcamera
Last week, ayufan (of GitLab Runner fame) posted a branch of ustreamer with some initial work to get it to support MIPI-CSI cameras in one of the GitHub issues. Looks like he's been real busy recently because he just posted https://github.com/ayufan-research/camera-streamer (Yet another camera streamer).

MediaMTX: Zero-dependency server for live video and audio streams
FYI until recently this was known as 'rtsp-simple-server', but it outgrew simply being a RTSP server so it was rebranded. It is commonly used in the 3D printing community for serving webcams attached to printers along with ustreamer (https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer).

I am having an awful time getting my Logitech c920 dialed in. What webcam looks good and works without fuss?
uStreamer is far superior to the mjpgstreamer utility that nearly everyone uses. It supports the Pi's OMX media encoder, so you can get reasonable quality with low CPU usage.

Kilpper/Mainsail/etc and libcamera
I've been in the same situation as you and have been looking into https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer as an alternative to mpjg-streamer under Raspian Bullseye with the unicam driver and the Media Controller API framework.

Looking for a simple (MJPEG-like) browser-friendly way to stream live video
Maybe look at https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer
-
New here and don't know if this is helpful to anyone, but found ustreamer (in debian repository) much simpler to install & config than mjpg-streamer for Linux server
...the documentation includes an example for the rPi camera as well as simple steps for making it a service.

A pure C Mjpeg-over-HTTP server
I've done work before where we stream USB cameras via mjpg using https://github.com/pikvm/ustreamer
Granted this project looks like a lot more streamlined.
- Hosting/forwarding video capture to a web/app or interface possiblities?
What are some alternatives?
