Are my expectations unrealistic for a live camera feed off a pi zero w?

I'm using mjpg-streamer to stream the video, and I'm trying to use mjpeg-relay on a separate powerful machine so that more than one person or thing can view the video feed.

Is there a way (plugin or something?) to output the gcode viewer to an rtsp stream?
3 projects | /r/octoprint | 31 Mar 2023

If you want to stream your webcam as an H264 encoded rtsp stream, it can be done with either rtsp-simple-server or V4l2rtspserver And it is possible to stream a linux desktop (and any program that might be open, like your web browser with the gcode viewer running on it) with the V4l2Loopback device and either of the two prgrams above. It is quite an involved process, but it is do-able.
