MJPG-streamer VS libcamera-streamer

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)

I made libcamera-streamer, a small drop-in replacement for mjpg-streamer that uses the Python picamera2 bindings to access the camera and expose the MJPEG stream and JPEG snapshot images OctoPrint needs. Bonus: the MJPEG stream is low resolution and high framerate, while the snapshot URL gives you a high-resolution image for your time lapses. (The snapshot grab does stutter the live stream a bit, though.)
